I started this year with such ambitious dreams for this blog and three weeks in I already let them slide. I do have some legit excuses…We bought the house and then I had a really bad Crohn’s flare up. I have taken Liam’s portraits weekly I just have neglected to post them. So I will probably jam pack them all this week because I can.

So here is the scoop on what has been going on.

We ended up getting a counter offer that we deemed good enough to purchase the house in Mission. Thank God for E-contracts, we have been able to sign everything on our phones and immediately send it over. It has made this process so much easier. We closed on our home on January 24 and started work that day! I am trying to take pictures as we go so we can have some awesome before and afters! We will still be staying at the McCarthy’s until everything is done. It would just be too hard to try and move in there with Liam while construction is happening. We are so blessed to have Mike and Debbye helping us again turn a house into a home. And we are very lucky to have my mom close by to help with Liam. He has already had one sleepover so far!  Also, I cannot say enough about how great our realtors at Veri Colorado Real Estate have been. They have been so patient and encouraging through this ordeal and have been on top of everything! I highly recommend you check them out if you are in need! You can find them Here .

Physically, I have not been doing very well. As most of you know I have struggled with Crohn’s disease for over 7 years now. It’s truly a horrible disease that I would not wish upon my worst enemy and whenever I have flare up I am basically rendered helpless. I was in remission all throughout my pregnancy with Liam but started to have a little flare when he was 6 months. I had to stop breastfeeding then because I needed to go on a steroid to help me get better. I hate that I have to take the stuff I definitely did not want it going into his little body.  Because it was only a short term steroid it helped get things under control until this past week. I had a full blown flare while Ryan was working in L.A. Liam is just to active for me to be sick so I called my G.I and got another stupid round of steroids until I can get in to see him on the 12th. I have read some great things about changing to a macrobiotic diet but I just don’t know if I could do it. Something to still research I guess. But in the meantime I am already feeling much better.

On a positive note, Ashley and I received a Spa Day at Beau Visage in Greenwood Village from our husbands for Christmas so we decided to put to good use this past weekend. We got treated to a 60 minute massage, facial, lunch, and mani/pedi! It was so amazing. I swear I could stay in those awesome robes all day everyday. We are so very lucky to have such wonderful husbands who do things like that for us! We badly needed a mom’s day out!

Anyway, I will get Liam’s portraits up soon and an update because I miss writing about all the things he is doing!
