Pinky Blu...!

No pictures to accompany this post...but wanted to update the blog with our latest news. We found out today that our little baby is going to be a girl. I haven't quite recovered from the shock but we are very excited. Most know that I predicted another boy...always saw 2 boys in our future. We couldn't be more thrilled with this news and hey, I always love a reason to shop, which I will need to since everything I own is blue!

I have to give Amy credit for naming the new baby...Cole was "Baby Blu" before he joined us...we are kind of liking "Pinky Blu" for this one. Thanks for the name Amy!

Easter 2009...the Blu's are back!

We enjoyed a great Easter weekend! Shawn's parents were in town for 10 days (and purchased a full time home in AZ!) and unfortunately had to leave on Easter morning. We celebrated Easter a day early with our traditional feast on Saturday night. Sunday morning the real festivities began. I couldn't believe how into the egg hunt Cole was. Last year he was too young, so this year was a treat for mom and dad to watch him go after the eggs. Each time he saw another one he would gasp in excitement, pick it up and put it in his basket. On more than one occassion his eggs fell out of his basket as he bent down to pick up another egg. It worked out okay as I think he thought they were new eggs each time he picked them up! While the egg hunting was exciting, so was busting into them and eating all the jelly beans and M&M's. I finally had to hide the egg basket from both Cole and Daddy! I bought all kinds of fun toys to put in Cole's eggs, thinking he's a little young for too much candy. Unfortunately none of the cars, toys, etc. fit in the eggs. Better planning on the part of the Easter Bunny will be needed for 2010!
Here is Cole looking super cool for his Easter morning workout...notice he didn't break much of a sweat!
We did our final walk through of the house yesterday and are supposed to have our keys tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures of the new house...we plan to move in late-May.
