The Franks are bloggers!

Welcome to Franks 'n' Beans! This is my first attempt at blogging and am hopeful that it's a great way to share all of the new and exciting happenings in our lives- especially for all of the people who we don't get to see very often! So please check the blog often, and I promise to keep the updates and pictures coming. Also, soon I will include a link to our Mac Gallery so you can see TONS of pics!

The Franks (of Franks 'n' Beans) live in Wheaton, IL. Jeromy and I welcomed our first child, Reece, in October of 2007. Since then life has been filled with so much excitement and a million firsts! Reece is a fun-loving child who loves people, animals, balls, and sleeping! At 17 months of age, he's starting to amaze us with new words and abilities. His favorite words currently are "mama", "dada", "mom", "dad", "turtle", "deer", "geese", "ball", and "snack". Reece has also recently discovered that he loves running and climbing up and down stairs.

As a family, our days are filled (well other than with work) with trips to the zoo (GG works there!), the children's museum, the library, visits with friends and family, shopping, eating in restaurants (Reece's and my fav!), reading books, throwing balls, and exploring nature! As the weather warms up, you will often find either Jeromy or myself running the streets and paths of Wheaton with Reece in the BOB!

So now you have been brought up to speed on us! Since the blog is new- I'll be sure to include a lot more blogs quickly! As I get more familiar with this blog site I hope to "pretty up" the page and include tons of pictures!
