January 2013

The new year brought us one big happy joy!  As you found out last month, we are expecting a little one in May.  This month we found out, it's a.....

How they can tell that stuff is simply amazing!  You can imagine my personal excitement!  I think Eric is still wrapping his head around all the PINK and Kaleb is spinning at the thought of a sister.

Here's to our upcoming adventure....

December 2012

Well...it's been some time since we've last updated - oops, I'll blame that on the pregnancy. Yes, you heard right! In late September we were blessed to find out we are expecting. I guess you can say that has been the most exciting news that you've missed. The last couple months have flown by. Jodi has had a pretty smooth pregnancy and hasn't dealt with many of the symptoms that stricken many pregnant women. She's counting her blessings but with that has come some moodiness according to the rest of her family. We're anxious to find out the gender in early January and we'll be sure to share as soon as we know.

The other things keeping us busy were wrapping up our fall sports, Jodi finished a solid football season with her cheer team and Eric wrapped up a short and sweet middle school cross country season. This year he took the boys basketball season off from coaching which has given him some much needed time to get caught up at school. After the holidays we'll both be in full swing with competitive cheer for Jodi and 8th grade girls basketball for Eric. Hopefully it will make the dreary winter months go quickly and the sooner to meeting our new little one.

We spent a portion of the Christmas break in Florida again with Jodi's parents. High flight prices forced us to drive. We made the two day trip which unfortunately reduced our stay in the sunshine state but it was still nice to get away. We made our annual stops at the Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney as well as, a game of putt-putt at Pirates Cove, lunch/dinner at Golden Corral and then some much needed family time and relaxation. This will be our last big trip before we're traveling with an infant so we definitely made the most of it.  You can read more about our trip on Eric's travel blog HERE.

As we ring in the new year, we hope that 2012 was as good to your family as it has been to ours. We look forward to sharing all of our 2013 adventures in the months ahead.

Happy New Year!

September 2012

Hello school, jeans, sweatshirts, bonfires, falling leaves and Friday night lights!

It's fall and we're off and running!  Kaleb and Eric have now started school as well.  Kaleb is adjusting to his new 5th grade teachers and looking forward to a full year at East Jackson.  Eric is managing his school day and coaching cross-country again.  Just when you begin counting down the days to summer, you blink and you're back to the chaos of a new school and no free time.  That's what life is like in the Kramarczyk household.

September brought homecoming's for both Lansing Catholic and East Jackson.  Jodi's 2002 Cheerleading State Champions were this year's honorees at the LCHS homecoming game - what an honor for those hard-working girls from 10 years ago.  The team and coaches were gifted with a beautiful cross key chain with their state championship engraved into it.  What a wonderful day it was!
