First and formost, and most of you wondered and might have heard already, we are having a boy!!!! The ultra-sound in reno went exceptionaly well, and showed that we were to expect another little boy in early March. Everything was healthy and coming along great!
We hoped for healthy above all, and didn't really have a gender selection, so hearing we were having a boy was a thrill for us Heffelfingers. But most of all, we're most excited that Dylan is going to have a little brother! I know the bond between brothers can be so awesome! I'm glad he's going to experiance that :)
We've been so busy preparing for Dylan's 2nd birthday, Halloween, and a few other Fall things we're trying to squeeze into this busy month.
Dylan turned 2 years old yesterday (monday the 20th) and we had a small family spagetti dinner at home. Rich's mom got a little cake and we let him blow out candles, and open a few of his presents and have cake! We had a blast!!! Dylan was so happy to have us singing Happy Birthday to him. He's at an age were he's finally starting to get things like that. He sang along with us at the end going "Toooo YOOOUUUU" and knew how to blow out the candles himself (with a little help from daddy ;) Rich got him a replica of our new Chevy Silverado in the toy version. It was ADORABLE. He goes "Truck Truck!" His grandma got him some puzzles, a Mr.Potato-head transformer style, and some new socks, and Mommy got him a McDonalds play set w/ a talking cash register and play food and money. HE LOVED THAT ONE! He played with all his new toys for hours, and stayed up an hour later then usual to do so (not to mention the sugar rush from his little cake HAHA). We'll be having his real big party with his little friends and cousins this weekend. It's a blues clues party!
But of course in our family we have one party with just the small household, and a big party with everyone else later! :) I'll be making a home-made cake, dinner for everyone and entertaining a room full of babies and toddlers LOL sounds fun ha? Should be.
As I mentioned above, we got ourselves a new truck. It's a lifted Chevy Silverado 2500. It's BEAUTIFUL! We find ourselves more and more needing a truck to move things etc. So when Rich found a great deal on one up here at the Lake, we went ahead and traded in the old Durango. My dad got the Durango when I was 17, and it's been the best car I've ever had! It was hard to see it go, but as my family grows, and things change and it got older, it was time. I hope it makes some other family just as happy someday! This also means I get the Land Rover...so now I'm even more set!
That's about the best of the best around here this week. I'll try to be on more now that things SHOULD calm down...but I can't promise anything till after Halloween c comes and goes. Until then...
Love, From the Heffs!
