Well it's only been forever since I updated, so I thought it might be good to do. We had a great time in Indy the beginning of last month. We started out our time there celebrating Ethan's first birthday. It was so much fun to see him again and to see so many great friends!
Next, we were finally able to make it up to Chicago to introduce Liam to my family up there. He met his great grandma and grandpa again and got to meet a lot of my cousins and my aunts and uncles for the first time. They loved him, and he was spoiled with gifts! He also was able to experience his first snowfall.
Before leaving, we celebrated Christmas with my parent, my brother Joel, and sister in law Tiffany. It was Liam's first Christmas, and he had a great time. He sat on grandpa's lap while he read the Christmas story and enjoyed opening gifts.
Also while in Indy we job and house hunted with great success! Long story short, Shawn and I were both offered jobs at Methodist hospital that are open to start whenever our house sells (WOW!). We also spent some time looking at a model home of a house we were interested in building. Since our visit we have decided to move forward with building that house. So we have a refundable deposit down on a lot to build our new home! If our house doesn't sell here, no worries, we'll get the money back. If it does sell, we'll meet with them and finalize things and the house should be built in 90 days! So everything is ready for a move except for our house selling here. We've had a few showings, but no offers yet. I guess we'll see what happens.
Onto other news, Liam also enjoyed some time with his grandma and grandpa Mayle over Christmas here in Summerville. It was a wonderful Christmas and we were happy to have family around for Liam's first Christmas. Liam got a lot of toys, clothes, and books. He was also able to meet Santa. This was a much better experience than I expected. Liam loved Santa and just sat and smiled at him!
We really didn't do anything special for New Years or anything since then really. Liam is on the verge of a massive tooth production though. He has 3 or 4 teeth across the top that are very close to coming in. (You can see them and feel huge bumps). He also turned 11 months old last Saturday! It's so hard to believe that time has flown by so quickly, but it has been so much fun! He is such a great kid! Next week we'll be getting 1 year old pictures done with a professional photographer and we're really excited about them. Next up, a birthday party! February 6 we'll be having a little party to celebrate the one year mark!
