Laurel is 2!
My youngest son is two months old and my oldest daughter is 2 years old! Oh how time flies.
Laurel, just like Elliott continues to grow and her personality is starting to come out as well. While she definitely has her terrible two moments, she is a very sweet and highly intelligent girl who loves to sing, dance and read. She continues to amaze us and make us laugh at the things she says.
To celebrate her birthday, we are taking Laurel to the Dallas Zoo. It will be her first trip to the Zoo, but she seems to like animals and we think she will enjoy it. Her birthday party is not until Saturday and will be at Little Gym where the kids can flip and tumble and have a good time. We invited her classmates and other children on our street, so it should be enjoyable for everyone.
I am sure we will have tons of picture and videos from the Zoo and party, so look for another post next week with details and photos!

Catching Up
It has been a while since I last made a post. Things have been great for the Codys in 2013, but they have also been extremely busy. What little free time we had was spent trying to get the new house in order. We have finally started to reestablish our daily routine, which includes making post on the blog. I am literally uploading our Christmas photos right this very minute and plan to upload others this week, including our trip to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science with Kyllan’s mom and Drew. Yes, I know. We are well into March and I am just now uploading Christmas photos. I will post a link on the blog tomorrow. Needless to say, Laurel has grown like a weed since those photos. We have actually taken relatively few photos so far this year, but we do have some we would like to share. I have no idea when I will get to the Christmas video.

Happy 2013!
2012 was another great year for William and me. We had a great year of celebrating starting in January with my cousin’s wedding and taking Laurel to Cleveland to meet my extended family. We quickly progressed through our first Mother’s Day and Father’s Day followed in July by Laurel’s first birthday celebration, my parents moved to Dallas, William got a tenured track position, we took an awesome trip to Turks and Caicos, celebrated 5 years of marriage, sold our house, moved into a two bedroom apartment, and of course found out that 2013 will bring us a second child! Lot’s of excitement.
It’s hard to believe that 2013 will be even better. January will bring the 100th year of my beloved sorority, we will likely learn the sex of our next child, and we will move into our new home that we plan to be in for many years to come. In April, I will celebrate my 15 year high school reunion and the 100th year of my high school. May/June will be full of welcoming Cody baby #2. July will be a fun filled 2nd birthday party for Laurel, and oh yeah we will end the year with my mom will officially become a senior citizen…65!! Don’t worry… she won’t be mad at me for that, she has no shame in sharing her age since she looks much younger!
I hope that you and your family were as blessed as our family was and pray for a joyous and prosperous 2013!!!
The best is yet to come…..

Still, Still Here
The Codys have had a lot lot going on recently, and unfortunately that has resulted in us neglecting the blog. I am declaring an end to that neglect. We will be posting more frequently around here, starting with this post and a Halloween post soon to follow.
The real reason we have been so busy is that we recently moved. It was no secret, but we never really talked about it on the blog. We are the process of building a new home that is closer to both of our work places. A few weeks ago we sold our old home and moved into an apartment while we await completion of the new one, which we should be in by the end of the year. This process of looking for and buying a new home along with selling our old one has sucked up so much of the little free time we had, especially keeping the old one ready for showings.
Laurel has done great with the move and seems to adjusted to the new daycare, though we miss her old teachers. She has grown so much in the past month. At her 15 month checkup she was in the 92 percentile with height. Her vocabulary is growing everyday as well as her ability to effectively communicate. She now uses a combination of single words, sign language, and gestures. She just had her first dentist appointment and is working on her 4th tooth.
I uploaded pictures from my parents’ visit to Dallas about a week ago. I hope some of you found them. If not, here is a link. We were still settling in to the apartment during their visit, so please excuse any mess.
