Well yesterday was mine and Heather’s 2 year anniversary. It almost seems cliche to say it, but it’s pretty amazing to look back and see how much my life has changed over the past 24 months. Marriage, bought our first place, sold our first place, had a baby, bought our second place, and those are just the major highlights. There have been countless more smaller and less notable things that may not seem to be significant but have all played a major role in making these past 2 years the best 2 years of my life. I can’t wait to look back when it’s been 4, 6, 8 years and see what’s developed then. There is a lot to look forward to.

It’s been a busy past week. And yes, I do realize that it’s been a week without an update, since the very update where I promised to post the next day. So I’ve learned not to promise such things. I really like posting here, and I’ve actually bought the domain themoosles.com where I plan to move this blog shortly, so look for that.

Since my last post Mimi has come to visit, we attended Michael Waggonner’s 16th bday party as well as the annual Skinner family picnic (the Skinners are Heather’s grandmothers side of the family). It’s been a very busy couple of weeks at work for me, but on Thursday we’re taking a long weekend to go hang out with my parents, my sister, her husband and Emma over at a lake near Gatlinburg. It will be really nice to relax for 4 days and get in some good family time, I know they’re all itching to see Sam. Here are a ton of pictures from the various events over the past week. I’ll start out with a series of pictures showing how Sam likes to try really hard to get out of his swaddle blanket. He is usually successful with at least one arm, and we’ve actually started to leave his upper body un-swaddled. We thought we’d try it one night and he did really well, he slept for 2 five hour increments that night, so Heather only had to get up once to feed him, and we were both stunned. He is still doing well so we’ll see if it continues. Talk to you later, sooner rather than later.
