As I mentioned in last month’s blog the month of April has been busy.
To start we had a wonderful Easter with our families. We were in the Bay with the Wepner and Yachinich on Saturday and then with the Burts and Kochs on Sunday. It was wonderful being surrounded by family all weekend.
After Easter things in our house really started to move. Eric sold his boat which was very bitter sweet. We put the boat on Craigslist and within 24 hours it was gone. We were shocked at how fast it sold. Eric wasn’t ready to give it up that fast. With the economy we thought it would have taken a little bit longer.

With all that we have done and completed if feels like it has been longer than 6 months of marital bliss. We both are so blessed to have found one another. I know that I thank God every day for our wonderful life we share together.
Eric has continued to work on the upstairs. We have moved up there officially about a week ago. There are only two more very minor things to finish before we can say that it is 100% done. But since they are so minor we aren’t too worried. The whole project really turned out nice. With the great help of family and friends it all came together. It’s amazing how much bigger our house feels now that we are using the other half of it. Before our upstairs was just simply used as storage, but now it’s a wonderful master bedroom. Eric really did a great job completing it.

While Eric has been working on the upstairs I have been slowly putting together the baby’s room. Along with the upstairs it is completed. With some new and old pieces I believe that it’s going to be a great space for our lil one to enjoy their first couple of years. We went with a neutral pallet since we aren’t sure what he/she is. I personally love how it all came together. I can’t wait to rock our baby in the glider chair that my sister’s good friend Tiffany gave us. I’m starting to get a little excited for him/her to come.

Along with all of our craziness our beautiful baby girl Kit has surgery this month. It was a last minute plan. The surgery went very well, however since Kit is a stinker she kept licking her stitches so she took longer to heal and had to wear a cone around her head. It was really cute to see her with it on, but really sad because she didn’t get to give herself a bath for a week. I felt horrible that I couldn’t help her out. I have put off getting her spayed for six years because I was so scared of the surgery not going well. In the end it was best that we did it because her uterus was swollen and was starting to get an infection that could have ended up being fatal. Thanks to the wonderful care of Animal Medical Center she is back to normal and enjoying life.

Well that about sums up our month of April. We are looking very forward to the month of May. Now that we have finished our big projects it looks like we get to celebrate a little bit of downtime. But don’t worry I’m sure we will have great things to talk about at the end of the month, because then we hit the real countdown of B.B.’s arrival.
Thanks for checking in!
Eric, Monica, Kit, & B.B.
