Happy Holidays 2009

First off I would like to start by saying…sorry it has been forever since I have updated this page. There is so much to tell you all about I am not even sure where to begin.

Well…let’s start with our little guy, Lucas. He is almost 16 months old now. I can hardly believe that my baby is growing so fast. He is a ball of energy all day long. He is a lot of fun these days. Around every corner is a new adventure, skill, activity. He definitely keeps us on our toes and we are love every minute. He started walking really well about a week after his first birthday and is now going full speed running around the house. He is constantly babbling and starting to throw in real words here and there. The holiday season has been extra special this year as Lucas is discovering all the lights and decorations…he loves all of it. He is especially excited about Grandma & Grandpa Gilbert’s big tree. He walks in the door and waits for someone to turn it on…it is the cutest thing ever.

We settled on the old house in late August and we are currently living with Jason’s parents. Our new Berks Home is under construction in Lancaster County. We are so excited!! We hope to settle by the end of March…if Mother Nature doesn’t have other plans.

The end of March is what we are hoping for because the newest addition to our family is due on April 30th. We are expecting our second child this spring…so between that and the new house we have many wonderful things to look forward to in the New Year.

Let’s see…what else is there to update on…Jason has decided to try a couple big biking events next year. He plans to start training after new years. I will post more information as they approach. I know at least one is a charity ride and I am sure Jason would love your support.

I posted a few pictures below of some of the activities we have been up to in the last 3 months. They are all pictures taken from my cell phone. I promise when I have a workspace in my new home to do a better job of posting photos and updates.

I hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying the holiday season.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!

Love,
The Tolley Family
