Getting ready...

Yesterday, Barry and I (okay, well mostly Barry) put together Jack's crib and the glider for his room! How exciting!!! Barry did a great job putting everything together!!! Both pieces of furniture were gifts from Grandma April...Thanks, Mom. :)

We are still waiting to hear news about the possible new house. Our Realtor said that we should hear an answer by Wednesday about our offer. Hopefully, we can start packing soon!

Christmas 2007

What a great Christmas we had this year! It may be the best Christmas to date... although we have high hopes for next year topping this one with the addition of baby Jack!!!

We put together a slide show of some of our Christmas pictures! You will see pictures of holiday baking at the Spurlock's, Christmas morning, and pictures of a surprise baby shower that my Dad, Courtney, and Abbey threw for us! It certainly was a huge surprise!!! We were so touched by the surprise baby shower...a HUGE thank you to everyone that made it so very special! We will hold these memories in our hearts forever!

More pictures will be coming soon of our Christmas on the Luzny side of the family... for some reason, I did not take any with my own camera this year...so I am waiting to receive a few good ones!

It's beginning to feel a lot like...

CHRISTMAS!!! Our holiday shopping is almost finished and the baking will start this week! We are so excited to share the holiday season with our friends and family! To add to the Christmas magic, we got our first big snow today! Barry was very happy to use his new snow-blower!!!


Deal or No Deal?

We have been looking for a new home to start our family in for a few months, and we think we may have found it!!! It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom colonial on Westover in Rocky River. Westover is a dead-end street with a huge park at the end. We put in an offer this weekend and hope to hear back by the middle of this week.

The back yard is decently sized, but it only has a 1 car garage. As you can see in the photo, there is a spacious deck on the back that should be great for summer time cookouts. The house is currently owned by a bank, so the last owners are no longer part of the bargaining... Cross your fingers that the bank is willing to make a deal!!!

First outfit



Today, we got Jack's first little onesie! Barry was so proud to buy Jack's first outfit! We are so excited for Jack to get here! I am feeling great (other than the sinus/ear infection that I currently have). Jack is moving so much lately and Barry can feel him moving too! What a wonderful time in our lives!

Spurlock Holiday Party 2007

Last weekend, we had so much fun celebrating the holiday season with our Cleveland Family of Friends! We were surrounded by our wonderful friends and delicious food! This year, many little ones joined our party as families begin to grow! What a wonderful time in our lives.

The chocolate boxes turned out to be very successful! Thank you to all of you that offered helpful advice and tips along the way as I made and filled the chocolate bags for dessert!

Decorating for Christmas

This is truly my favorite time of the year! Yesterday, Barry and I got out all of our Christmas decorations and transformed our house into a winter wonderland. The day was perfect as we unwrapped each ornament and enjoyed the memories that each one holds. We sipped egg nog and ate pfferneuse cookies, listened to Christmas music....and a little snow even fell outside throughout the day! Tears filled my eyes as I realized how wonderful this Christmas is with baby Jack growing...and how magical next Christmas will be with him helping to decorate our tree as we create new traditions with him!!!
