We have a facebook group

Just wanted to invite everyone to join The Uncommons facebook group. It seems we aren't using the blog as much so we thought facebook might be a great way to keep up. You should have gotten an email, but if not just sign up with facebook. See you over there.

Hello there

Hey. Don't know if anyone is actually writing on here anymore, but I thought I would put something up.
Catherine is almost walking on her own now. She can stand and will walk if she grabs something and pushes it. She is doing great! I can't believe she is almost 10 months old. Wow how time has flown!
Eric is now in 6th grad which is very scary because it's middle school. Not the most fond memories of life for most of us, so please keep him and us in your thoughts and prayers.
All else is going alright, we are just always looking for ways to keep our lives improving so that we don't just stay complacent, which is why we have you guys as friends.

If you wanna see some great new pictures of Cat, check out my my space.

Catherine is talking

Well last Thursday Catherine said her first word. It was Daddy. She said it after much prompting from Chris and said it while looking at him. Eric and I both heard it as well, so we think that counts. She even reproduced it later. Now, she may not have realized what she said, but she knew it was something we should be proud of, because she was happy too. She is also really crawling now and pretty fast too. Our little girl is growing up.

Catherine is talking

So last Thursday Catherine said her first word, Daddy. She said it while looking right at Chris and after he was trying to prompt her to say it for a while. Eric and I heard it as well, so we are counting it. She even did it again later. She may not have really known what she said, but we enjoyed it none the less. She is also officially crawling now and moving pretty fast actually. Our little girl is growing up.

Where is the gnome?

So, finally we have started the gnome game? Can everyone figure out where he is? Where will he go next? The point is to keep him moving without the targeted couple knowing he has arrived at first. Stay tuned for updates on his journey.

Valen is 1!

Just a few pics from Valen's pool party. Hope you had a happy birthday Valen!

Hey there everyone! Just thought I'd put up some new photos of our
little one. Maybe now we'll have more than one blogging baby on here.
(he,he). She is changing all the time and already developing a little
personality of her own. So, these photos are some of her and Eric,
her and Grandma, her and Daddy, etc.

Also, there are some pictures of Eric and his science fair project.
He won 2nd place this year in his category, mathematical science
(don't know really how that works since all science is math related, i
don't make the categories.) Anyway, it's an improvement from last
year when he got 4th. He also gets to go to the regional science fair
now for all the schools in his district. So, way to go, Eric!

Well, all for now!
Kristin
