Also- in case you don't already know- in the next few months we are going to start the process of finding new jobs (even though I LOVE mine sooo soo much), and putting our house on the market so that we can move to be closer to our families. I know... Shocker.
In the last 12 weeks, we have realized that raising our children so they can see their grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins whenever they want is more of a priority than living in the "big" city... AND that 3-1/2 hour drive is even more brutal with an infant (and it won't get much better with a toddler)!!
We want Brynn to have the same type of upbringing that we both had, which means we have to make a lot of sacrifices and move down to the Evansville area.
Even though it is going to be beyond difficult to give up my beloved job and our wonderful house, I know in my heart that this is the right decision for us.
I never pictured myself as a "hometown" girl, but when I realized how it would affect my children, I knew that it wasn't fair for them to be raised without family.
So going back to work is going to be even harder now, knowing that I need to cherish every moment with my fabulous co-workers because I don't know how much longer we will be here... It could be anywhere from a few months to a year! Time will tell.
With that, all I really have left to say is... Merry Christmas and Happy 2011!
God Bless,
The Weinzapfels

This just made me cry!! I love you guys and I am super excited for you 3. I know that it will be hard to move away from your friends and your job but being surrounded by family is priceless. I missed a lot of wonderful memories being so far away from Gramps and I would have given anything to have been closer to him!!
Love you guys and the blog is looking amazing!!
