Finally...

Things are going well here. Judson is still getting used to his new role with Wachovia and putting a lot of miles on the old Honda!! Turned in 1400 miles on expense report in November.

Kristi is doing great as a stay at home mommy. The move really got her back in "management" mode! ha! Yes ma'am!! No ma'am!! ha!! Just kidding - she is doing a fine job!! I know, enough about us, you all want to hear about Little Man, right?

Ricky is outgrowing 18 month tops (his little belly is pouching out for some of his tops - ha!) and he is still hanging out somewhere between 12 and 18 months for his pants. Waist is fine in 18 months, is those short little legs!!! He is wearing 5 1/2 shoe and needs WIDES - fat foot! He is doing nothing but walking/running around - non stop ALL DAY LONG!! The only time he slows down is nap time and bed time...and when we put him down for the night, we have to hold him tight and keep his arms and legs from moving around b/c he tries to stay awake by moving them. He and I run around the house in the evenings and on the weekends...I will take off through the house and he will go another way to try and cut me off and I'll back track and sneak up on him from behind and scare him - he loves it!! We can do that for hours. Just like all boys, he loves to be thrown up in the air and tossed around. We haven't been without our nicks and bruises of course - those with little boys know exactly what I am talking about, and a lot of you with little girl toddlers. Luckily, we were blemish free for his first official pictures. If Kristi could have put him in a bubble she would have!! ha! We are waiting to get those back from the studio. His big thing right now, when he sees something he opens those eyes wide, makes on "O" with his mouth and goes "OOOHHHHHHHH" or "OOOOOOOOOOOO". He loves balls, he cries in the toy stores if we pass a ball and he doesn't touch it or can't pick it up. He is as strong an ox - he picks everything up or tries to and he pushes everything around the house. Kristi's dad says that he is as "tough as a pine knot."

We'll update more later - just wanted to give y'all a brief update and send some pics! Been a long time since he had the croup 'n crud!!!
