Finally getting started....

Hello everyone! We're finally venturing into the world of blogging. We've been reading Steve's sister Kathryn's blog for a year now and love how we can keep up with their life even though they are far away - and the truth is, we don't call as often as we intend too! Nicole and Suzanne also started blogs for their families and now we'll be the last of the Dufon siblings to join in.

Much has happened in our lives in the last year. The biggest changes were relocating due to a job change for Steve and the addition of a baby girl to our family. Natalie Grace was born in June and welcomed home by big brother and sister Nathan and Sarah. She has been such a joy and Nate and Sarah dote on her. Natalie is 2 months old now and loves to smile and coo at anyone who will pay attention to her. She's a very content baby and a big girl! She's already 3 inches longer than Sarah was at this age and weighs more than both Nate and Sarah did at 2 months. We're still working on sleeping through the night and taking longer naps during the day, but she's got the eating part down, no problem!

Nathan is playing football for the first time this year. He seems to be enjoying it and Steve is helping out with the team. He practices 3 nights a week which keeps them both pretty busy. He's taking a break from karate for right now. He wasn't too excited about school starting this year, but by the second day he was loving 5th grade.

Sarah is taking a break from sports this fall and is starting piano lessons. She was very excited for school to start and has been hanging out with all her friends from last year. She's a third grader this year.

I'm getting back into the swing of things now that the kids are in school. I'll try to keep the blog updated from time to time and hopefully figure out how to load some pictures!

Wow, this is neat! Tara's in-law's have a "Family" web page which is a great way to keep the line of communication open. It seems to get harder and harder for families and friends to keep in touch with everyone...thanks for including me on your list!
