You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle these three things:
a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

Wow it's been a long time huh?

And I know why. Things have been busy busy busy. (I also told Mrs. Nelson I would blog again if she took a picture of Julia and Reillyn the other day)

As you all may know my sister had the baby! Reillyn Billy was born on Dec 29 and I had the pleasure of witnessing this miraculous event. He is the sweetest baby boy I have ever seen and I am with him every moment that I can. Every time I show up at Kara and Rob's I am still waiting for them to kick me out because I am there so much. Julia is amazing with him and I am so proud of how loving and compassionate she is with him. She holds him perfectly and talks to him telling him all the fun things life has to offer. Reillyn even went in to school so Julia could show him off for show and tell.

Kara and Rob take my breath away. Kara is such loving mother and so attentive to his needs. When he is upset I see him soften when she speaks and holds him close. Rob the definition of a proud papa always saying "that's my boy''. Yesterday I was helping Kara and Rob at a bridal show and when I went downstairs to Rob and Joe's table I see a picture of Reillyn up on the huge t.v., not the wedding video they were trying to sell.

So today my sister went back to work and now my 10 phone calls a day to her are replaced with blogging again. Although I have talked to my mother (who is babysitting Reillyn) 3 times already.

February is a special month for Joe and I as we celebrate our anniversary. On the 18th we will be together for 10 years, and on the 24th married for 8. Yesterday at the bridal show we ran into our wedding DJ. He made an announcement that he did our wedding almost 8 years ago and played our wedding song. Joe and I danced, in the middle of the bridal show, and I'm not sure if people were watching but I didn't notice that they were there.

I'm working on posting pictures but they are on my cell phone and it broke over the weekend so give me a few days.

See you all soon!
