Well, I was just informed that it has been a while since I updated the blog....people were asking for new pics too. Sorry so late....it's been a busy few months!
Nate, Jordan & I are all doing great! We had a great, but short snowmobile season. Nate & I spent a long weekend in Iron River, WI & enjoyed the trails & some quality alone time. The 3 of us spent another weekend snowmobiling at my parents cabin in WI. The boys...Dad, Justin, Nate & Alex (sister's boyfriend) spent hours & hours sledding. The girls....Me, Aimee, Mom & Jordan played, relaxed & watched girl movies. It was a great time as always! We are now looking forward to boating, beaches & Buffett season.
We threw a housewarming party mid February for all of our family & friends to see our new home. It was a great turnout & a lot of fun. We had a fabulous time celebrating our new home w/ so many wonderful people. Thanks everyone who came to break in the new house ;-)
Jordan is talking up a storm...saying anything & everything. It is so fun to watch her try to sound out words & she watches your mouth to learn how to say a word. She is still a wonderful sleeper & a great eater. We still haven't found one food that she won't eat. She takes one nap during the day & sleeps from 7:30 pm until 5:30/6:00 am. We are very lucky to have such a good little girl. Watching her read books, play w/ toys & interact w/ other kids is so great. She is a very sweet baby girl...always giving hugs, kisses & loves to cuddle. We can't wait for what lies ahead for her future.
Nate has been back to work for a while now after his last knee surgery & is feeling great. We have both joined a new gym & have been workoutaholics! I go 4 days a week & Nate is attempting to do 6 days a week. It makes it hard w/ a little one, but we have to take good care of ourselves in order to be around for a long time. Nate is also doing a 5K in June w/ some of his friends. Jordan & I will be there to cheer him on...so proud of him!
We went to Indy to visit our friends, the Heaton's & had an amazing time visiting & letting the kids play together. We also went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum where Jordan & Clay had the greatest time playing & exploring. We look forward to going back for another visit soon. Another great time we had was planning my parent's 30th wedding anniversary celebration. My siblings & I put a ton of pictures from the last 30 years onto a DVD, & made a beautiful slideshow that plays along w/ music along w/ a new family picture. We then had my parent's over for a delicious steak dinner cooked by chef Nate. They really enjoyed their time & we loved doing something so special for them.
Well, not a whole lot new...just working, spending time w/ family & friends when we can & working on the new house all the time. Spring is around the corner & it will be time for landscaping. The yard is put in, but we have no trees, bushes or flowers...we are pretty excited to work w/ a clean slate. Once again, we hope your family is well. We hope to see you all soon & have a wonderful spring!
Love xoxoxo,
Nate, Rachel & Jordan
