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!
