Congrats Oz!




Oz did his first tri this morning in Huntsville, it was a mini tri so he could learn a little more about the race and it ended up being a great way to start. I hope I can do the race next year once the baby is here. We both will need new bikes though, we are hoping to get his with Christmas and birthday money this year and mine at somepoint down the road who knows, why are the road and tri bikes SO expensive!! Yikes!


Nico and I headed to the race around 7 this morning and caught him finishing the bike part and going into the transistion to swim. It was great to be there to cheer him on!

First Day of Preschool!!


I was planning on walking him in for his first day but one of the teachers that knew him went ahead and took his things and brought him into school unexpectedly. Nico was trying so hard not to cry it was making me try not too as well! He had his little hand over his eyes but he bravely walked into school for his first day all by himself. What a big boy! I'm sure once he got in he had a blast! He loved it last year.

Thanks Dad and Ashley!!



We wanted to give a huge thank you to both Dad and Ashley, they have allowed us to fix up our home on a tight budget doing things we never would have been able to without their help.
Ashley painted a beautiful painting for us to put over our fireplace, she even signed it!
Dad came down for the week and laid tile in our kitchen and laundry room, the cost of having someone lay tile is crazy and for him to take a week to help us was wonderful. It was great to say goodbye to all that linoleum!! Things are coming together with the house but never would have without the help of our family so huge thanks from Oz and I!
Nicolas really enjoyed his D-Daddy's visit, as usual he was sad to see him go back home to as he would say Grammy's House. He will be looking forward to seeing his Grammy and D Daddy when the baby comes soon!
