Catching up...

Gosh, I can't believe how fast the time went by since I last posted... We had put our townhome in the market sometime in September and after quite a few showings and one bad offer, we were finally able to sell it for the full price. We (including our realtor) could not believe that we sold it for $12k more than what we paid for it a year and a half ago, specially since there were other lower-priced condos in the same complex. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is... we were so, very, truly blessed! Everything went really smooth and we ended up breaking even. It was sad leaving Alec's first home, and even though it was a small place, it was such a cozy home and we had so many fun times. So, now we are Steve's parents' house for a couple months and all our stuff is in storage. This will be a crazy, busy year as we're expecting to move two more times in the next 6 months. More to come on that...
On an even happier note: I will stop working at the end of next week! I'm really excited to enjoy Alec full-time and do so many more things for myself and my family. It won't be easy...but it will be worth it. Steve and I knew this would have to happen sometime soon and we decided it was time. Our families have been so helpful for the past year taking care of Alec. We really appreciate the many hours they've spent watching him. I really am looking forward to stop working...it will be such a relief.
Well, since life's been kind of crazy lately I forgot to take many pictures in the last couple months, so here are a few....Some pics were taken by our home teacher who's a professional photographer...others are of Alec with a purple nose after falling in the bathroom and hitting his nose against the tub...it was so sad, bloody and painful (and I almost fainted!).
By the way, Alec took his first steps on New Year's Eve, and now no one can stop that little man...no wonder why I feel so tired now.

Gabi, congrats on the call yesterday! So excited for April for you guys! It will be a challenge with all of the moves, but it will be so worth it. Plus, you get to stay home with darling Alec. He's so beautiful! I can't believe how much he's changed in the past couple of months. And I LOVE your Christmas card pic. Your home teacher did a great job, but it also helps that you guys have a beautiful family.
