Wont you be my Valentine??




























Hello everyone! Its been a few weeks since I sent out an update on Brayden so I figured I need to get something out. Brayden is growing like a weed, he nows weighs about 14.5 pounds, maybe even 15 pounds!!! He is packing the weight on day by day. Brayden is now a little bigger then his cousin Lila Ann who is 5 months old and it is pretty funny to see them side by side. We took Brayden to get his V-Day pictures done last week and it was an adventure. I think we had a total of 3 pictures with him smiling, even though he cheeses it up all the time! He was a little camera shy during his first official photo shoot, but who wouldn't be....he was only in his diaper and maybe was trying to play modest. I am sure you will all enjoy the end result of the pictures though. We have had a lot of things going on lately. Sue starts back to work tomorrow and Jen (nanny) will have her first full day with Brayden. I am sure they will all do just fine. We have secret agents who will pop in at random times during the day to make sure everything is going well. Arynne(Jeremy's sister) has been in the hospital with a misterious intestinal disorder which the doctors cant nail down yet, please say a few prayers for her. She just had a new baby a month ago and her husband is home taking care of all 3 boys until she gets well, so say a prayer for him as well. As for me, my new job is going well, I am getting settled in and learning the ropes of transitiong from a $100 billion company to a $1 billion dollar company, things run a bit slower but it is a great bank. For anyone who didn't know, Sue and I were awarded the franchise rights for a men's salon in Virginia. We are in the process of working out the final details of everything right now but we hope to have our first location up and running by the begining of Summer.....no wise cracks about me being bald and running a mens salon either!! Lets see.......if we dont already have enough things going on we decided to set our fish tank up again, and this time we made it salt water, it is one of the coolest tanks I have ever played around with. We went this weekend and busted the budget with new lights, sand, new stand, and real coral. We tried to get fish today but our water wasn't ready. I will send new pictures out when we get some fish. Also, we have our boat coming this Saturday.....I have been waiting about a month for it and it will finally be in this week...weather permiting.....right now they are calling for 6 foot seas on Saturday and I dont know if I want to run the boat from the marina back to our house since it is about 20 miles of bay and river.....everyone keep there eyes peeled for my emergency flares!!! The boat should be OK though, it is plenty big enough for those waves, not sure I would survive though. i am used to surfing big waves but not riding in a boat on them. Anyway.....hope everyone is doing well and enjoy the latest pictures!!



Love,


Jeremy, Susan, and Brayden
