Tonight I decided to get back on here and revitalize my efforts to keep up with this blog. Tony and I have seen lots of changes in 2011, with many new ones to come in 2012 (more to come later). The greatest love of our lives, Brady, is now 2o months old. He started trying to walk at 9 months, but a short stint in the hospital, with an IV in his foot, stopped him from putting his foot back on the ground for a while. However, in true manly form at 11 months, when a 3.5 year old gave him a kiss and said I love you, he took off after her. Thanks Kyndal!. Brady enjoyed the summer at the pool. We put him in swim lessons starting at 6 months and kept them up through the summer, so he took the pool very well. Sadly he has no fear.Tony and I sold our house this summer, moved into an apartment, and then built our new house. We moved into this new house the week of Thanksgiving. In true fashion we hosted our family Christmas here, followed by our annual New Years Eve Party. We had a blast.
We lost our dog Toby in November 2011. It was the hardest thing Tony and I have ever had to do. Toby had Congestive Heart Failure and COPD. It got to the point where Toby's life was impaired, so we had to make a decision. However, God had a plan to make that easier. We had began rescuing and fostering dogs again about a month before Toby passed away. With that, we found a Shih Tzu, that we eventually kept, and named Mariyo. We are back to being a 2 dog house again.Yoty our oldest dog, turned 12 this year and he has welcomed Mariyo in true older brother fashion.
Brady is now in enrolled in Soccer. He absolutely loves it. We love taking him. Tony is in true Dad form. He is such a proud father and is probably the best father in the world. Those two are true peas in a pod. As for me, I love watching those two together. Nothing warms my heart more than those two.
We have a surprise for everyone coming soon. I will post when I know more.
