Exciting News!!

WE HAVE A HOUSE!! We are meeting with the owner tomorrow morning to get the keys to our new house in South Albany and are soooo excited! It has taken us a while but with Cody working in Albany and me in Corvallis, living in Albany just made sense so off we go. I'll post pictures next week after we get moved in but it is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath double car garage, fenced back yard for Kaiser, gas forced heat and air....perfect for us and exactly what we were looking for. WOO HOO!

More news....I saw the doctor this week for my 29 week check up and baby Dayaln is doing great. In fact he is doing so great that he is measuring at a whopping 32 weeks rather than the 29 weeks he has actually been cooking. HOLY COW! They are having me come back in 2 weeks to measure him again and if he is still on the big side they are going to schedule an ultrasound to measure just how big he really is. I'll keep you posted.

Last but now least, here are a few pictures from Cody and my Oregon coast get away. We were able to sneak away for 3 nights and 4 days with not kids, no dogs, no calls from work...it was sooo wonderful and relaxing.

September....wait it's already October!

The reviews are in and Vault 244 is officially a hit! The Vault opened their doors for business on September 15th and have been busy ever since. From the reviews I’ve been reading it looks like Cody’s menu has a little something for everyone (way to go babe!) and even though he has been working LONG hours, it is paying off because they are serving a packed house almost every night.


Opening week the Democrat Herald ran a front page article on the Vault which included a picture of my handsome chef in his kitchen!

So after all of the hard work, long hours and minor snafoos that had to be worked out, Vault 244 seems to be the new Hot Spot in Albany….good food, good drinks, great atmosphere and wonderful service. What more can you ask for?

Two weekends ago Taylor got to go to Homecoming prom at his old school (Philomath High School) and was able to catch up with friends and have a great time. Too bad they lost the game!

Who says dudes can't wear pink! Lookin good Tay!

As of Tuesday I am officially 25 weeks preggo and seem to be growing by the day! I saw the doctor last Friday and all of my measurements were exactly 25 weeks so Daylan is doing exactly what he should be doing. I don’t remember being this big quite so early with Taylor or Dorian and I’m kind of wondering how Daylan is going to grow in there another 15 weeks!


Last but not least, this coming Monday Cody and I are flying out (bright and early) for a little Vegas vacation. This will be our first “official” trip together besides the occasional camping trip. No kids, no irate college students, no restaurant….just 4 days of Amy and Cody time which we are both looking forward to. Hopefully lady luck will be shining down upon us when we hit the casinos!
