Happy Easter!

This is Danielle, yet again posting under Susie! Sorry Susie!

A couple pictures of the kids from Ruby's 5th birthday in January!

The family and I just got back from a vacation in Arizona and I came home to many a posting which was extremely exciting! We went to Arizona to visit Tim's mom who lives there and his sister and two kids who are in visiting from Austrailia. They have a little girl who is a few months younger than Ruby and a boy who is a week older than Luke. And Ruby and I have never met them before. It was real exciting. I got to see pictures of Tim when he was baby, we had a great time. We really liked it there and are actually talking about the idea of moving so we too can buy a house.
Amber - I am so excited to hear that you two were able to buy a place of your own, that is so great. Do you love having your own home that you can decorate and paint any way you like? I really dream of that day. Vancouver, Washington? I have a friend that I met a Chili's who went to BIOLA that moved to Vancouver with her husband after they got married. They are having a tough time finding a church to plug into, where do you attend? And congratulations on 10 years of marriage, that's so fantastic! You deserve a wonderful trip like that, enjoy! As far as how Tim and I met, it's nothing to exciting. He grew up in Kansas City, MO and decided that he needed a change of scenery, something new and different. So a friend of his who had moved out here the year before told him to come on out and live with him. So he did! He was already working at Chili's in Kansas City and he transfered to La Habra of all places. When I first met him he had long hair and a beard and I really didn't think twice about him until one day he cut his hair and shaved his beard and I said to myself "...hmm he's got potential." And within a month we were on our first date and 3 months after that I knew. We were married on the first anniversary of our first date. We married in Laguna Beach at the gazebo on top of the cliff and had our reception dinner at the Beach House Restaurant there on the water. It was very small, 20 people total, no attendants. A friend of mine, he was actually my prom date in high school, is ordained and he married us. Ruby was our only other participant as our flower girl. It was really quite sweet!

Jana - I think doing the eharmony thing is great. I think it is the way things are going in this day in age. I have actually met about three couples who did eharmony and are married and are perfect for one another. So I applaud you! And I will send you my address.

I actually have a question for everyone. Truthfully, I need advice. Luke is not sleeping through the night. He will be a year next month and he still wakes up at least once if not twice a night. With Ruby she woke up too but we slept in the same bed for her first 3 years and she held her own bottle. None of that is the same for Luke. He shares a room with Ruby and will not hold his own bottle. So I have phsically get up feed him and put him back to sleep. He's almost one, this should not be my story, seriously. I need some advice, I don't know that to do! What would all of you recommend?
