This Will Be Our Year...

As I sit here and type this, I ponder the past year and all of the amazing things that have lead into this one.  The self-release of Kay Kay and his Weathered Underground's first album on our own Bombs Over Bellevue label, Sarah's wedding, our pregnancy, RX Bandits tour, et cetera.  This will be our year.  

Though please, don't be mistaken.  After almost 6 years of being together, and almost 3 years of marriage, needless to say, every year was our year.  However, this one is even more extraordinary!  With the birth of our son, Kiddo and motherhood, the second self-release of Kay Kay's new album "Introducing..." (due this summer on B.O.B.), (Kirk's other project) Wild Orchid Children's release of their full length also on our Bombs Over Bellevue label, and the Me Without You tour (in which I will obviously and proudly be sitting this tour out)...  Well...  Let us just say that things are on an "up and up"!  It has not been easy keeping up with everything, and of course Kiddo is our number one priority, but it has been a blast and a huge learning experience.

Watching him grow has been the most fun!  He has such a laid back personality, much like Kirk.  He has been smiling since the second day we brought him home.  Now, he is very chatty.  He gurgles and loves to coo, and is extremely alert.  We have been teaching him music very early.  Kirk has been showing him The Kinks, The Beatles, Harry Nilsson, and Kay Kay.  I have been playing him The Zombies, David Bowie, Oingo Boingo, and a tons of jazz.  He seems to like Kay Kay, probably because of Kirk's voice.

Kirk has been busy with us, the bands, and work at Glo's.  

I have been busy with Kiddo, playing games, and job hunting, which has been difficult, but always fun to start over with a fresh outlook on things.  I am hoping to get back into commercial real estate doing Facilities Management.  I am also working on a plan to start my own organic toiletry business.  Still trying to think of a name, but I have the numbers, and a business plan are ready to go.  It will be homemade organic soaps, washes, perfumes, etc...  It has been so much fun doing the research, and honestly, nothing will really come of it until the end of the year.  It's never too soon to be fully prepared. 

Things have been going splendidly, we have just been taking things one step at a time.

Below are some Kiddo pictures, just click on them and they will get bigger.  We are going to be taking some family photos soon.
