Our Special Little Girl

Deven Ashley is doing great after coming home from the hospital. She is sleeping less and becoming more and more active as the days go by.


Mommy loves to take naps with her.

Her hair continues to get longer and longer. Mommy is going to have to learn how to do babys hair sooner than she thought.

Monica and I celebrate 1 year of wedded bliss!

Monica and I celebrated our one year anniversary on May 19th. We had sushi at our favorite sushi place and then hurried home so we could spend time with the kids.

For desert we ate some of our wedding cake. We could only stomach a few bites. It was much better the first time around.
Here are the flowers I brought home for Monica. They are almost as pretty as Monica, but not quite.

Movin' On!

Monica, Mason, Deven and I moved into our new house on May 15th. We were running out of room in a hurry in the townhome. Our new house will give us the space we need in a neighborhood that we love.

Here is our TV Room. Monica picked out the colors and the furniture. It had to be nice because we will most likely spend the majority of our time in here.
Here is the back of our house. The yard is big enough for the kids to play and the house even came with the trampoline (only two kids at a time please.) Mason can't wait to learn how to mow the lawn.

Our new arrival is here! Here is Monica shortly after arriving at the hospital at 6:30 AM on April 25th.
Monica and I were up all night timing contractions in order to determine when the right time was to leave for the hospital. Monica was a trooper and opted to not have an epidural which was for the best as it was too late for her to have one by the time we arrived at the hospital. Introducing Deven Ashley Townsend - 7 lbs 10 oz. and 20 inches long
Deven showed off her crying skills until the nurse let her see her Mom for the first time.
Mom and Dad are happy their little girl has finally arrived.
Take a look at all of that hair!Deven appears tired but she is really trying to hold her excitement in at meeting her Big Brother Mason.

The Roselle Townsends are on the move! Due to our upcoming new addition we have found the need for more room. We will be moving from our two bedroom condo to a 4 bedroom house in Roselle on May 16th.

Here is Mason's new bedroom. There will be plenty of room for a desk so that he can do homework. The new house is much closer to the park that Mason and his friends skateboard at as well.
Here is the kid's bathroom. The tub has jets in it as well so Mason and Deven will not have to "create" their own bubbles like I did when I was a kid.

Here is the master bedroom. I don't think I need all of those mirrors.
Our basement is going to come furnished with a pool table. The previous owners did not feel like moving it up the stairs so they are going to leave it.
And......here was Angel's reaction when we told her we were moving. Hopefully she gets over it and decides to give the new house a chance.


Kraft Foods throws Monica and I a baby shower!

Cake, punch, and a very generous gift! We couldn't ask for a more thoughtful group of co-workers and friends!



Jayden Joseph Zorbaugh was born on April 6th to Monica's Sister Nancy and her husband Brian.







Here is Jayden at home. He is wondering when his Aunt Monica is going to have her baby.















Nancy shows off her new addition.













Jayden does not appear to be a fan of foot tickling.
