Happy Anniversary

I almost forgot... Happy Anniversary to Nico and I.
We have been married 6 years today.
Summer '06

Big city, not so big news.

We are enjoying living in a big city again, but could live without the frigid Michigan winter. This week the snow finally melted only to have it snow 2 inches overnight. I’m so sick of snow!!!

Nico is a little concerned about his job, but we’ll just have to wait and see. But I’m starting to wonder, who isn’t concerned about their job these days. Worse case scenario, I’ll start looking for a job. Right now I’m enjoying being at home with Ronin.

I joined the MOM’s Club of Royal Oak. It’s a peer support group for stay-at-home moms. I’ve already met several nice women. They have play dates and outing for the kids, even for infants like Ronin.

Our house is cute, but it needs some work. The basement needs to be finished. We’re going to wait until after Nico’s 1 year anniversary before we start any major projects.

Ronin is awesome. He is such a good baby. Nico’s a great dad. He changes diapers and watches him so I can occasionally escape.

I’ll have to write more later, tonight is “bath night”.

Enjoy the pictures,

Ronin and I at about 4 weeks.

Nico and Ronin at about 6 weeks.




Ronin, 2 months.

We had a baby!

All is well here. Sorry it has taken us so long to post. I guess that most of you know that in October we had a baby. Ronin Prelogar was born October 24th at 6:54 p.m. He weighted 7lbs and 13 oz. He was 20 inches long. We were induced because of my gestational diabetes. Here is a picture of me right before we left for the hospital.

I have to say, Nico was really disappointed he couldn’t speed to the hospital with the excuse that “my wife is in labor.”

Here we are right after the delivery.


Here’s Ronin about 20 minutes after birth.

Houses, Babies, and Plants

Well we gave up on the house. We kept hearing that "we were in the running" but no one could tell us when we might actually get a definitive answer (not to mention when we might close). Nico put in an offer on another house in Royal Oak, MI. It’s smaller, but cute and significantly cheaper. We should hear back today or tomorrow on this new house. I’ll keep you posted.

Our little house in Pittsburg is on the market. We’ve had several showings but no “bites” yet. The dogs certainly enjoy the trips to the park when we have a showing. The kitties just hide.

The baby and I are getting big. I’m 26 weeks pregnant (out of 40 weeks) and have no real complaints. Pregnancy is pretty cool! The only issue is that we still don’t have a name for him.

The KS baby shower is Sunday! I’m looking forward to getting together with family and friends to celebrate the upcoming arrival. If you did not get an invitation, it was probably because I figured you were too far from KC to come. Drop me a line, I would love to hear from all of our out of town family and friends.

I’ve been pretty bored here, but I’m keeping myself busy with internet searches of MI gardening. Oddly enough, I think that we are moving to a zone 5 (for those of you who know the gardening zones). That’s ironic, since most of my life I grew up in a zone 5. I’m not going to be that far out of my element after all. However, no more crepe myrtles and mimosa trees for me. L

Nico's gone again, No news on the house.

Nico was here last week. We got a lot done on the house, but I still have some minor issues to take care of in his absence. He was not looking forward to living in the motel again, but he does have a contact that might be willing to put him up for a while.

Well we’ve all but given up on the Houghton House. It’s okay because I think that our offer was going to be too expensive for us. We are now looking for something a little smaller and a little closer to Nico’s job (especially with MI gas prices close to $4.25).

Our Pittsburg house is now on the market. Hopefully I’ll have the listing for you all soon.

In the meantime, I’m fine and the animals are all doing well. It does suck to have to haul the dogs away to show the house. I’m sure we’ll get used to it soon.

Still no baby name. We're still calling him "the tadpole" for now.
