I want to do a quick blog about what the boys are up to before I forget, so here it is!
Tanner: He loves to talk about the days of the week. He will say "Today is Friday, not Monday and Tuesday." He likes to says what things are followed by what they are not. Ex: "Nanner wants to watch Loin King, not Shrek or Cars anymore." He recognizes some letters and numbers. On the way home from school the other day, he said "There's a 2." He read it from the road sign! I was amazed, I remember teaching my Kindergarten students number recognition. He now likes to "read" to me instead of me reading to him. He does well with books that we have read a lot (Brown Bear) but just makes up things for unfamiliar books. His new saying is "Member we.......got Dunkin Donuts yesterday," etc. He also likes to say "already" as in "Tanner need to eat muffins already." His speech is coming along, and I am not longer "Nonny" and Uncle Tony is no longer "Auntie Nony." I am kind of sad about that! He still stumbles over hard names like "Obi Wan Kenobi" and says "Obi dobi dobi." His name is "Nanner Roney!" Too cute!
Brennan: My baby is almost a year old!!!! He is army/inchworm crawling all over the place now. He only likes to eat food that he can feed himself. He makes this pig face when he's eating, it is sooooo cute! Pics included! :) So far, I have not found anything that he won't eat! I took him for his first professional haircut the other day, and he HATED it! The stylist started by using the buzzer thing on him, so of course, he cried the whole time! But he does look so cute. Brennan has also started dancing! It is the cutest thing!!! He will sway back and forth if I am signing or playing music! Then, he cracks up! Hehe!! He is a babbling machine. He says "uh oh" when he drops something, and imitates us singing and talking. He is now only taking one nap of about 3 hours and I can stretch him to get him to take it when Tanner naps (or does quiet time in his room).
That's all for now!

Christmas and BIG changes for the New Year
Our first Christmas as a family of four was really great! We ended up having 3 Christmas's-2 with my mom and Jon, one which included Curtie B and one with Bobby's family. The boys got way too many presents, but I guess that's to be expected. Since the weather has been "spring like," the boys and I have taken walks almost every night to see the lights in our neighborhood. My in-laws were brave and requested a weekend with Tanner, Brady, and Carrigan. They made ornaments, gingerbread houses, and went to the Science Center. Tanner had a blast with Cousin Brady! He told me that Brady is funny. Since I grew up around my cousins and am very close with them, I love that Tanner got to have some time with his! :) I think that Grammie and Papa had fun, but were glad when the weekend was over! Bobby and I enjoyed spending some alone time with Brennan. We shopped, ate out, and talked about how quiet it was in the house!!! We spent Christmas Eve at "Hotel Meroney" and ate tasty food, opened gifts, and watched the kiddies play-fun times! Bobby and I rang in the new year with our besties, the Montini's, Magsie, and Shannon!
OK, now for the BIG news......We are starting a new chapter in our lives, we are moving to Atlanta!!! Bobby got a promotion with PJ's and is now over the Atlanta market. He officially started this week and said that it's going well so far! With the move means, selling our first house. I am having mixed emotions about moving. I am glad that Bobby will no longer be traveling, but I will miss all of my friends here. Plus, we will be farther from family. This is not going over well with our moms, but hopefully they will see that it is not thaaaaaat far! I would probably be sadder if I had time to think about the move, but with getting the house ready to be put on the market, I do not have time for anything, even being sad. We have been painting, decluttering (and those of you who know us, know that we have tons of clutter), packing and organizing toys, etc, etc, etc!!!
OK, just wanted to give everyone a quick update. More to come!
Here's some pics!!
