Christkindlmarkt

Brendan's Grandma Klaus is down for a visit this week. Saturday was her birthday and we all went to the Christkindlmarkt to celebrate. We had lots of fun with food, a petting zoo and music. Grandma was able to buy some German crafts and said it was a great birthday. It was cold outside, but the tent was nice and warm.

Expecting Another Baby Boy

Well we had our ultrasound and the new baby looks healthy and on track. They confirmed we are expecting our second son. So that will bring the house Male/Female ratio to 4-1 (Rich, Brendan, New Baby, and the dog to Andrea). We are looking forward to the arrival of our new addition and are excited that Brendan will have a little brother to play with soon.

Phoenix, Arizona - Trip

This post is a bit overdue, but we all went out to Phoenix, Arizona in mid-October. I had to travel out for work and Andrea had some extra vacation time so things worked out perfectly. I also took some extra vacation days and we saw a lot of Phoenix, and we traveled to Sedona. Sedona was absolutely beautiful as you can see from the pictures. We had a really nice trip and were able to see a lot...and Andrea and Brendan were able to hang out at the hotel water park while I went to work!!! Now that the new baby is due in March, we won't be taking any big trips as a family for awhile.

Happy Halloween

We all had a great time trick or treating last night. At first, Brendan was hesitate, but after a few houses, he would reach right into the candy bowls and grab what he wanted. He decided he really likes candy like KitKat, Whoppers, and Twislers. After making it down our street and back, we handed out candy to any remaining kids. Brendan was a puppy this year. He left is custom, including the hood, on the whole time. He even stayed up past bedtime, but we're not sure if that is because he was having so much fun or the sugar.
