A lot has happen the last 6 months:
- Eli is a little man, walking, talking,... a full fledged toddler
- We opened Kidsnasium! www.kidsnasium.com God has been so faithful and has blessed our little gym so far!
- We are having another baby!! I am so excited about Eli becoming a big brother. He is such a sweet (energetic) kid, I know that he will have fun with a buddy.
In the past, I have used this blog to document Eli's development, crafts, random posts, etc. But this time around there will be a little bit of everything. Having a toddler, business and a bun in the oven should give me plenty to talk about but maybe not the most time,...
At the end of this month we find out if our little bean is a she or a he! I am so excited. There are cool things about having a boy (we have a ton of boy clothes, though most of it says Eli, we know how to raise a baby boy and Eli would have a brother to go camping, hiking, fishing,.. boy stuff with!). And I would love a little girl to dress like a princess, and cover in bows! I am almost positive that we are not complete after this little person, so we will have another chance at either gender again ;-)
But I would really like to have a gender reveal party. They look like such a fun way to announce she or he, and it is a good reason to throw a party! My other half though, finds them intrusive on a personal moment. Also, he feels like there are certain expectations in his reaction that our family and friends would want to see,... What I mean is, when Christian and I found out that we were having a boy in a little dark room, he tightly squeezed my hand. And I knew that in his genuine response that he was thrilled that our bean was a he. But if we were to cut into a cake and it was revealed that we were having a boy or girl, just squeezing my hand wouldn't cut it! There would need to be an elated reaction for the sake of family/friends/cameras, etc. And this feels fake and awkward to him. I completely understand,... But I still want the party. So I don't know if we will have a gender reveal event or not.
What do you think? Gender Reveal Parties too intimate?
Before I call an end to this first "Back to Blogging" post, I want to show you guys our Fun Fall To Do!
I have been looking forward to fall since July. I will be so glad to wear boots, scarves and take my son for a walk without coming back drenched. So, for the last 3 months I have been making a list of all the stuff I want to do when the season came,... and here it is!

I ordered Eli's fall t-shirt yesterday. I love this company Pint Size Press they are a set of Christian women. All their designs are precious, their turn around time is less than a week and they have excellent costumer service. Also, if you have a shirt that you want them to press on you can mail them the shirt and they will put on the design for less than $10.
Until next time,
Miley
