Just a quick update to let you know that we're alive and have had a great week...
Safe travels and lots of fun with friends and Tricia's family in NJ and PA.
Fun trip to ToysRUs to spend the $250 for Toys for Tots (video to come).
Gwyneth has taken the next step with her social skills, responding almost constantly with smiles and laughs to everyone and everything (it started the day we visited Santa a few weeks ago...hmm....).
My family is having a big Christmas here on the beach, with lots of uncles and cousins and grandparents coming in at different times this week...we're looking forward to spending lots of time with them and maybe even putting them to work a little bit at the house!
The house is almost done. The wood floors are done, the tile is 95% done, the new HVAC system will be finished tomorrow. Lots of little things to do, and of course, a big cleaning day. We hope to be spending our first night in our new home by the end of the week.
Lots of pics and some video to share with you...but, this is going to be a fun and busy week, so I'll post again when I have the time...in the meantime, I have done some mass blogging today and have scheduled several blogs to publish over the next few days.
Thanks!
Nate

Everything with the house looks great Nate. Patricia and Gweneth must be so happy, and what a Christmas present. Hopefully we will be in our house by summertime, things are moving sooo slow. I hope it is ok, I want to let everyone know that I am gonna be publishing a cook book with lots of old fashioned recipes to sale to help pay for IVF. The idea came from Two Blessings From Above...thanks for the idea. So anyone who is interested please visit my site, I am gonna post pics of some of the recipes that will be in the book. The site is www.oursurrogatestory.blogspot.com.
Glad to hear you guys had a great week! Can't wait to see what you all pick out for Toys for Tots.
