Baby Makes Three

Life has been a whirlwind. Finally, I am getting back around to this blog. Ewan is four months old now and Liam is four and a half! Wow! Life happens so quickly. Here's to a Happy New Year in 2013!

Here he is! Ewan Edmond O'Sullivan at 25 weeks gestation! He looks great and is growing right on target. Liam is so excited to be getting a baby brother! Estimated arrival is September 12.

Family, Friends, and Fun (Spring 2012)

Christmas 2011

We had a great holiday season. I am almost (ALMOST) ashamed to say that I still have the Christmas tree in full array! It is just too pretty to take down just yet. Here are some of my favorite moments captured by photo from this Christmas!

Family time

Thanksgiving blew past like a turkey running for his life. And now with the Christmas holiday rapidly approaching, I hope that we will spend more time focusing on showing our love ones how much they mean to us instead of trying to find monetary gifts to do so. I love spending time with family here in Rockford. And wish that my family were close enough for us to do so. Love is all we have--all we need. Don't take it for granted.

It's Fall, Y'All!

Only 5 days after the official first day of Fall, and Rockford has definitely abandoned summer without looking back. The leaves are already changing AND falling. The temperatures are already consistently in the 60s and 50s. And my vitamin D levels are at an all time low. Who wants to lend me their SAD lamp?

Liam is getting bigger by the minute. He has already grown since his three year well check in July! He is 40.25 inches tall and 38.6 pounds heavy! He is a funny little character too. Patrick and I have so much fun entertaining and being entertained by him! Liam is still very much into his dinosaurs, but lately he has really gone back to his true roots of loving farm animals. All day long, if you had our house bugged, you would think we had horses, cows, roosters, and goats for pets.

The sad news that we have just experienced is the loss of our sweet Sammy girl. She was a part of mine and Patrick's lives 6 months after we started dating. So from 1997 to 2011, Sammy lived a long,happy life. She tolerated the addition of a Rottweiler and a child to our family. She endured many moves from state to state--too many to list, really. She will be greatly missed by us and those of you who knew her. Say Hi to Bo for us, old girl. Have fun chasing squirrels with your new legs!

The Beach

This summer Liam and I spent a lot of time at the beach in Naples, Florida. We were there visiting my friend Kate, from Atlanta. We had a great time, and Liam LOVED being on the beach and going out on the boat. Uncle Tommy was a great captain! We had a blast.
