So I made chicken nuggets for Tom and myself and I guess Beany just wasn’t full enough from the bottle he’d had 2 minutes earlier. He snatched a nugget of Dad’s plate and went to town showing down!
Yesterday morning, I was sitting at my desk working when the doorbell rang . I, thinking it was UPS with Beany’s new Jumperoo, opened the door to find a man with flowers for a head (let that sink in). He said they were for me and that there was a card. The envelope had my name and the card read…well, maybe I won’t say. But I knew who it was from. I rarely get flowers but it’s always a treat, especially when you least expect them.
I know this is kind of late but better late than never.
So this year has been filled with so much that I don’t know where to begin. I guess I should start at the beginning.
Well I started out pregnant with Beany while Dad prepared for his arrival.
Then it was off to Italy for our Babymoon. Traveling between cities by train, we visited Rome, Venice, Florence, and Sienna. And Dad tried some of the local cuisine.
Then Beany was born. We loved having him home that we never wanted to put him down. Nor did his grandparents.
Soon, Beany had his own friends and was having a barrel of laughs.
In September we had a party where Beany got to meet some of his cousins. They wanted to play with him at any cost.
After the party, Mom and Dad got to go to the U.S. Open.
We got a new house and moved in.
Things slowed down a bit while Beany learned to sit unassisted.
But after he learned there was nothing he couldn’t conquer, there was no stopping him.
Beany had his first trip (he was an angel on the plane both ways), where he met some Mom’s family for the first time and saw Dad’s sister for the first time since his party.
Then we hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas. David saw a lot of family and got a lot of presents.
All in all, it was a great year.
