Nightly Routine

We have fallen into a nice nightly routine now that we're on a two-a-day nap schedule. Each night consist of eating, playtime, Wheel, rolling, puffs, toast, cereal, fruit, bath time, storybooks, toys, diaper changes, hugs, kisses, smiles and this game...

What on earth did we do for fun before we were parents??

The Best Anniversary Gift!

March 3 - A good Day

Two years ago Mommy and Daddy became Mr. and Mrs. Kiefer. They stood together taking their vows before God, their family and their friends, not know that just two years later they could be even happier then they were at that very moment.
Little did they know that in just two years the very definition of happiness would take on a whole new meaning. Little did they know that in less then two short years they'd create a new life. A life that means the world to both of them. A life that made them a family. A life that was created all because two people fell in love and made a vow to each other on March 3, 2007.
Happy Anniversary Daddy. Mommy loves you now more then ever.

Flashback Friday

A year ago...

It's a boy! It's a boy! Oh boy, it's a boy! I think we're both still in shock. I guess you should aways trust your gut when it comes to these things. For some reason I just "knew" it was a boy, but I was still so surprised when she told us yesterday. I swear time stood still between "do you want to know" and "it's a boy!" Jay jumped right out of his chair to get a closer look. I couldn't help but throw an "I told you so!" at him! The baby closed his legs shortly after we had seen the goods. It was like he did what he had to do and then he was going back to bed! Everything during the ultrasound looked great. The tech said he has everything he needs to be a healthy little boy. Right now he weighs about 14 oz and is on track for a due date of 7/11. Here are the pictures. I apologize for them being so blurry. They are much better in real life. The money shot! The boy shot explained... Profile In this one he's looking right at us w/ his right arm up by his face Isn't he just the cutest thing ever?!?! Now if only he had a name...

And here we are a year later...

He has a name and he's STILL the cutest thing ever!
