Where are you, Spring?

It's been a tough Winter in the KLB household.  We've had bronchitis, pink eye, ear infections, sinus infections, stomach bugs... Yuck!  Most of that wasn't even Brady, it was me!  I haven't been this sick this much in about 20 years!  Anyway, I'm very much looking forward to a healthy, happy Spring!

I started my new job about a month ago and, except for the fact that I keep having to miss work due to illness, I love it!  I feel totally confident that I made the right decision for me at this point.  I hope that I can do a good job and help make this a successful company because I'd love to not have to look for another job for a long time!

Brady is... well, Brady is perfect.  MrKLB and I truly could not have asked for a better baby.  When we're feeling awful or having a bad day, all that little man has to do is give us a big toothless grin and everything else just melts away.  He is such a happy baby and just has the best temperament.  He flew with us to Colorado a few weeks ago and was absolutely great on the plane and in the car and on the whole trip!  He makes our job so easy!  If we have another baby and it turns out to be a difficult or fussy baby I have no idea how we'll survive because Brady has spoiled us!

So, Brady updates... it looks like he may crawl and/or get two bottom teeth any day now!  Yikes!  We can see holes in his gums where there are two bottom front teeth just waiting to poke through.  We can't see anything white yet, but the holes are definitely a new thing.  He also has started to get into a position where it looks like he is about to crawl.  For now, though, he just ends up falling onto his stomach and then rolls wherever he wants to go - LOL!

I've been reading a lot of blogs lately - cooking blogs, photography blogs, family blogs.  I've read some pretty amazing and inspiring stories and they have made me even more determined to try to enjoy each and every day that I have on this earth.  I am blessed with a wonderful family and great friends and I want to make sure that they all know how important they are to me.  My husband and my son are the best things that have every happened to me and I cherish each and every minute that that I have with them.  Watching MrKLB with Brady is amazing.  He is such an awesome father and he loves that little boy like his very life depends on it.  The smile that comes across Brady's face when I pick him up from school - or when he's just been in his crib for a nap and I lift him into my arms - is breathtaking.  I hope that we all live long, healthy, happy lives... but if I had only ever gotten one of those smiles it would have been enough to make my life seem complete.

So, enough rambling for now... I just wanted to give the quick update.  Here is a photo of the family from last weekend.  More photos, as usual, can be found on Brady's Blog (email me for the URL).
