Hello to all- I am so sorry that I have not sent out new pictures of Alex in a couple of months. This pregnancy is really taking it out of me. Plus, as always, Alex is keeping me on my toes.
Speaking of Mr. Alex.... he is doing very well these days. His speech is getting better and better with each passing day. He was just recently accepted in to the preschool program that is through our local school system. I am very grateful for two reasons. First, it is going to help his social and verbal skills immensely. Second, it will give Alex something that is just his own. (The baby can't go to school but Alex can). I think this is really going to be a lifesaver when the baby comes. Alex finally got into a swimming pool. We tried swim lessons and everything and the poor child was just deathly afraid of the pool, but not the ocean. Get that one! Now Alex loves the pool and loves the beach even more. Lastly, our Alex is going to be 3 on the 7th of September. O My where does the time go?
We are currently in the middle of selling our house and buying a new one, need a bigger one with another family member on its way:) We haven't had a a lot of people look at the house but we are optimistic. I was just accepted into the Masters program at my alma mater UNCW. I am very excited to get back to school and a classroom. Thankfully, it is only at night so Tony can help me with the kids when the time comes. Tony is only 2 classes away from graduating with his BA in Military History. He also plans on getting his Masters but will start it sometime next Fall.

Things are slowly falling into place for us here in North Carolina and we couldn't be happier.
I have included some pictures of Mr. Alex from May till present. Again, I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get these out there. Hopefully it won't take so long next time.

Our first post...

Hello all -

Every month of so, Corinne collects up the best pictures of Alex and what we've been up to, then sends that out to a huge email list of friends and family. It's been effective, but we've decided to try this new 'blogging' thing. Yeah, we're really cutting edge...

So, what's the point? Well, much like the emails, this blog is to share pictures, videos and information about what's going on with us. We'll talk about Alex as he starts school in September (pre-preschool). We'll also post information about the newest addition (14 weeks along now!), as well as other stuff we want to share with our friends and family. Please feel free to comment on the posts and interact with us.

If you're reading this, then that means you received the invitation. If you don't want to see this blog - please let me know and I'll remove you from the list! No worries. This is a private blog - meaning that only those whom we've invited can access it. Security is one of the main reasons we didn't do this sooner. Rest assured that your privacy is important to us as well. We will not be posting anyone's email addresses on this blog.

Alright, to kick things off - here is a short video of us at the beach this past weekend. We just got a new High-Def camcorder and we needed to test it out. The conversion to YouTube kind of ruined the great picture, but it will do. Enjoy and welcome!
