So much happening!

I know, you all have been waiting patiently for a new blog post, well here it is and I'm going to try to get in as much as possible.
We've had a busy first three months.
In January, I celebrated my 31st birthday. We had a lot of fun as I went to two baby showers (Jen and Wendy) and then Ruel, Christina and I went to Evan's first birthday party.
February brought us to Valentine's Day and the decision to put our house on the market. Additionally my mom and dad retired! Both had retirement parties hosted by their companies. Oh, and the little other thing of them moving from Orlando to reside in Melbourne full-time. It's no wonder there was no time for a blog update!
March, oh March. It started off really well. Ruel and I had the opportunity to go to the Michael Buble concert. We had great seats and the show was excellent. Turns out it was his first concert of the tour. Orlando was the innagural location for the crazy love tour!

But then things got a little more difficult. We got an offer on the house and had a home inspection followed by an appraisal. The inspection was fairly clean and the buyer wanted to proceed, but the hitch came in the appraisal of the house, which was far lower than the contract price. So low that we could not go forward. We felt that the appraisal was unfair and our wonderful realtor did everything she could to make things right, but the buyer eventually backed out of the deal. So we had to start over with the process, putting the house back on the market and hoping for another buyer to be interested enough to put in an offer. Christina then came down with her first case of Strep Throat. No fun in an infant. She also gets asthma when she's sick, so it's exhausting for everyone with breathing treatments, antibiotics and late night doctor visits.
On March 21, we were able to attend Olivia's first birthday party and Christina had fun playing with all the other kids. Thanks to Michelle who threw a wonderful party and gave me some great ideas for Christina's upcoming first birthday!

I'm glad to see April come in actually. I'm praying for some good news on the house and a healthy baby girl.
I can't possibly cover all of the last three months, but I hope I've covered a little.
Oh, and we got a new DSLR, so I have a ton of pictures to post from that. I'll try to do that this weekend.

Yay! I love new blog posts. Cristina is growing so fast! Sorry to hear about the house. Could happen to anyone....makes me a little nervous about our situation. Hopefully it will all work out for the both of us! Don't wait another 4 months for the next blog update! We've got to see how Cristina is growing more often than that. So what ideas are stirring for her first birthday?
