Family Update
Posted on November 17th, 2009 by Laura
A few exciting thins are happening in the Loveridge house. The most exciting is we’re buying a house! We’ve been renting the house we’re living in and we’ve decided we’re going to buy it. It’s a good house with a lot of possibilities and it has a big yard, which is important to us. So, we’re going to be homeowners hopefully before the end of the year.
As for the kids, Thomas is growing up fast. He’s three now, which is insane! He still isn’t potty trained, but we’re slowly working on it. He’s one of the most polite boys I know. Whenever he burps or toots, he says, “Excuse me.” And he says “Thank you” and “You’re welcome” all the time. He still loves to laugh and jump around. He’s very good at jumping on people without them knowing. And let me say, that can hurt.
And Abby is 11 months old now. She’s starting to walk with help, which is a lot of fun. She babbles all the time. She can wave “bye bye” on command and she holds out her hand in imitation when we sign “I love you” to her. She has 7 teeth with another on the way. She’s adorable and I just can’t get enough of her.
Ben got to go to England last month on business. He came back with some wonderful memories and some beautiful pictures. He also brought me a love spoon, some love spoon earrings, and a Celtic knot necklace. He brought Thomas some Welsh salt and pepper shakers (because he’s obsessed with the things right now) that he’ll get when he’s a little older. And for Abby, he brought back a small love spoon. He did a good job with the souvenirs.
I’ve been having fun with my cake decorating. I made Thomas a Thomas the Train cake for his birthday. It was a lot of fun, but didn’t turn out exactly as I planned. I was sick at the time, so wasn’t able to spend as much time on it as I wanted. I’m also making lots of fun bracelets and earrings. Right now I’m working on updating our stockings. I made really cute stockings, but they were very small. We used them the last 2 years, but it’s finally time to redo them. It’s a big project, but one that I highly enjoy.
So, that’s the update. More to come later.
