In the beginning.....

So we have started this blog to keep family up to date with the happenings around the Rector household. It is doubtful that anyone else would find much interest in our boring lives! Instead of backfilling the history since Doug and I have been married (almost 2.5 years now) I will give the cliff notes version in 3 sentences or less (and sentences in parenthesis DO NOT count!)....here goes:

Shortly after Doug and I's wedding in July of 2003 we found out that our family of two was in about 9 months going to become a family of three. Fast forward to the birth of Colin Patrick in March of 2004, he is quite possibly the cutest baby ever born (right, I know, I am totally biased!). These days Master Colin is tormenting my Aunt Cathy during the day (she is a kind soul who has infinite patience and keeps Colin while Doug and I slave away at work; she thinks it's fun, we think she's crazy; but we love her for it!) with his explorer spirit and has become quite the crawler although he would much rather run!

Now for the front page news. Today Colin woke up with dry pants and the peed on the potty!! Oh what an exciting day (when he is about 13 he will REALLY hate this!) and one that Cathy has been working so hard to get to...WAY TO GO BUDDY!
