comeback

Yeah, it's been while. Too long really. But we've been a little busy.

A summary of 2007 goes like this: Dana left the Enquirer to go to work for Starr Commonwealth, a wonderful children and family services nonprofit. We found out we were expecting just months after I started this brand new career, and also just days before my 30th birthday! We celebrated our second anniversary in Minneapolis with Lockridge (Dude, are you still alive?) and his fiancee in June, camped and canoed the Pine River in late July, went to a Tigers game in August, and tried to do as much as we could handle while I was pregnant and before parenthood would change our lives, not to mention weekends, forever.

Scott enjoyed many rounds of golf up at Riverside Country Club, where were members, and he and Schlatter enjoyed many rounds of drinks while playing the Member Guest tourney in July. He also redeemed his first anniversary present and played Arcadia Bluffs up north, but the weather sucked. He's still working at the Federal Center in charge of the Helpdesk.

We also began talking seriously about moving to a new house. That's until the economy totally tanked and houses are not only losing value, but sitting on the market with little hope of selling. Two mortgages is not a risk we can take.
So we're still in our happy little home, with some updates. We finally painted the kitchen and replaced the floor, and of course, we needed a nusery so the spare bedroom became the baby's room.

Our families - My Dad moved to Florida in October. He's living just north of Tampa and seems to be enjoying it much more than here. We had an awful winter so he moved just in time. Not much new with my Mom. She just tries to keep up with my busy brothers. Matt and his football team won State again and Seth moved to his own apartment in Dekalb.

Scott's dad had a heart attack and quadruple bypass surgery in February. That was pretty scary. He's doing much better now and Scott's mom continues to care for him and everyone else.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell.
