March has been a pretty busy month. For anyone that didn't hear, we sold our house at the beginning of the month. We put it up for sale and it sold in 3 weeks - much faster than we were planning on! We found a foreclosure in Blue Springs that we like and were able to get a contract on it. Since then we've been packing and getting ready for the move. The new house needs a lot of work so it's going to be a long summer, but Erika and I think it will be great once we're finished with it. We close on April 9th and move in on the 10th. It won't be any fun unpacking on Easter weekend, but we're going to try and find time to go to the zoo on Saturday and Zach's baptism on Sunday so it should still be a good weekend.
Here's some pictures from March.

I have a bunch of video and I'll try to get some of it posted up here soon.
Here's the latest pictures of Parker. They include his first bike ride and his first time playing in the snow. Make sure you don't miss his impersonation of Hugh Heffner about half way through the slide show. Enjoy!
It's almost February and I'm finally making my first post of the new year. January has been a really busy month at work so I haven't had much time to play with photos and videos, or post anything out here. It's been busy, but fun. I went to Boston on the 13th - 15th to help out a client. It was a fun trip, but I underestimated how much I would miss little P-Man. I'm also working on some new projects at work that I'm really enjoying. Erika's company moved out to Lee's Summit in January, so her drive to work is much shorter now which is awesome for her.
Parker started day care at Cerner this week, but had a pretty rough first week. He was only there a few hours Monday before Erika got a call that he bumped his face and had a bloody nose. I know it's the first of many, but it was kind of hard having him get his first "ouchy" away from us, and on his first day at a new place. Then we got a call Wednesday that he was sick and Erika had to go pick him up. He's doing better now, but he had to stay home Thursday and Friday. So his first week was really only 2 and 1/2 days.
Parker's ready to start crawling any day now and I can't wait. Here's a short clip from 1/26/09 of him laughing and then trying to crawl.
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 2008 has been a great year for us, and hopefully for you as well. We're looking forward to 2009 and whatever it may bring.
