It's 2009? Where did the time go?

I have neglected the Lateur Chronicles blog. I admit it. You can accuse me of being lazy (you wouldn't be the first), but I have a really good excuse. I have been feverishly working to start up my Real Estate Company, Lateur Realty. As of January 2009, Lateur Realty is open for business!! I am excited and optimistic. I realize the economy is in the crapper, but the way I see it, if you start out at zero, your business can only increase.... And my plan is to grow exponentially....

Probably the MOST important recent event in our lives was the announcement that out sister-in-law Jenn is pregnant!! We know Mike is going to be a proud poppa, and Jenn is super excited as well. Amara and I are ecstatic. I cannot wait to be ol' Uncle Nick. And having Grandma Sally and Grandma Becky, this kid has a legitimate shot at being the most spoiled child on earth.

Other updates: Finnegan and Penelope are doing well. They are SO much bigger than the last time we posted. I call Penelope my "lil' rhino" because she is built like a tank. And Finnegan has grown up to be a wispy, long legged, snuggle puppy. We love them both so much. It seems like their only real flaw is that they are just too cute!

Our cat Earl is still chuggin' along. She will be 10 this summer. She spends her days sleeping and avoiding Finnegan and Penelope.

In closing, I promise to post more often, and keep you all up do date with the happenings of our family.

Much love to you all!
