Woof Woof (Welcome Back)!

Blogging is not my strong suit.  I have good intentions, and there are no shortage of stories to share, but I just can't seem to get to it.  This time, I plan on sharing this blog with more people in hopes that it will hold me more accountable for posting!

It's silly to try and recall the past 11 months, so we'll just start anew with NOW:

NOW... Johnny just had his second birthday (my big sweet boy!).  He is enrolled in an intermediate obedience training class and doing very well.  He is learning things like "go to bed," "heel," and to respond to commands from afar.  We love our trainer, Leah, and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Happy Second Birthday, Johnny!

NOW... Brian is graduating from ASU in less than 5 weeks and just accepted a job offer with McCarthy Building Companies.  He starts June 3rd in the field, with the intention of moving to the office to estimate.  I am so, so, so proud of him!

NOW... We are thinking about testing the market to see for how much our house might sell.  We have grown to love our house, our neighborhood, and especially our neighbors, but it's a good time to see what's out there, especially with the market turning around and both our jobs 20+ miles away.

NOW... And here's the really big NOW news (and likely the direction this blog will go), Johnny is going to be a big brother!  I am due October 9th and we could not be more excited!  Earlier this week we were able to hear the heartbeat and got some really great ultrasound pics.  I'm 13.5 weeks, and everything is right on schedule.  It's been a pretty easy pregnancy so far; here's hoping for 26 more easy weeks!  We're calling the baby Obi for now- Brian has always had a creative list of names for his future children, and topping the list is "Obafemi."  Figuring that name was a bit too much, we shortened it to Obi!

Obi, at 13 Weeks.  No, that's not a huge nose, but Obi's hand up near his/her mouth!

We'll keep you posted on Obi, Johnny, and all the adventures of the Aronson Clan.  Keep bothering me for updates!  I'll need your help to get in the habit!
