Happy Father's Day


Father's Day is just around the corner and CJ and I decided to get Case his gift a little early. So this morning the three of us set off in the jeep to the Dick's Sporting Goods where Daddy got to pick out his very own canoe. Yep, we city kids now have a huge canoe sitting in our living room. Case is out with some friends so he hasn't had a chance to put it away yet. CJ doesn't mind he's sitting in it watching Elmo. Both of them love the canoe and I think they will be very happy taking it out this week. I think we have another little camper on our hands too as he did not want to get out of the tent set up in the store when it was time to leave. He's ready to go for his first camping trip.

He'll have to wait a bit though because our adventure for next week is to head to Mystic, CT. Pizza anyone? We're off to the aquarium, the seaport, and a beautiful park on the shore. We're quite excited and can't wait for this week to hurry up.

We're especially ready to get toward water because we've hit a hit wave. Yes, the normally temperate weather out here has surprised us this week with tornado watches (a rarity here) and a heat wave. We're talking 99 degrees on Monday. Ridiculous if you ask me. We're fine though. Just enjoying the warm air (and the cool air conditioning).

That's about it for now! Talk to you all soon.

OK, so I talk to you four times and you never mention that you have a canoe in your house?

Hello from Philly

Hello and Happy Holidays from the City of Brotherly Love! Its almost New Year's resolution time and one of mine is to maintain a blog for all our of friends and family who don't get to see our little guy on a daily basis (and for those of you that do too). CJ is ready for Christmas- although Santa is not his favorite as you can see. I'm not sure who is worse at peeking at packages though, CJ or Casey. We were too excited to wait so we've had a Christmas tree up since the weekend after Thanksgiving. We kept the unbreakable ornaments on the lower part of the tree, which has been good since he likes to take them off and throw them to his daddy. He's so smart and observant. I'm just amazed by him. He loves to learn and seems (to me) to be very mechanically minded since he can unscrew or take apart anything you put in front of him. He has an infectious grin and a laugh that reminds you what living is about. He likes to talk all time and he LOVES to dance. He's ju...

Home Again

Well, we made it back to Philly! Its been a crazy few weeks though. CJ came back with an ear infection and brocholitis. Then he and Mama ended up with the flu on top of that. Poor Casey had to take care of both of us. I started classes the Monday we got back and so we're back into the swing of a semester. Thank goodness I'm almost done- only one more semester after this one. We had a great time in Kansas City visiting with all of our friends aned family. CJ misses everyone and loves to look through the photo album and point out his family. He also misses his friends Ian and Eli who he absolutely loved to tag after when we visited The Menzies- Spangie, Drew, Sierra, Ian, and Eli. He had a great Christmas full of suprises and travels. He is definitely one spoiled little boy, but we don't mind. Thank you all so much. His favorite thing seems to be his quad bike that his Aunt Dawn and Uncle Eric gave him. He loves zipping around our living room with it. We are still waiting to ...

Update

No major news to update. We're all on pins and needles waiting for the baby to arrive. At this point, it looks like we will definitely have a little one sometime next week if not earlier. Today is my last day of work. I'm definitely ready as I am starting to need more rest and am feeling some major shifting in the baby. Last night Pop Pop arrived though so it definitely brought some excitement to the house. CJ was showered with gifts from Aunt Cherie and Aunt CeCe, which he has been certain to remind us are the gifts for big brothers! He is getting excited at the thought that the baby is coming home soon. Of course, he's even more excited that Pop Pop is here for a long time and that his Nana and Grandma will be out soon too. We will try to keep you all updated when things start progressing. Just wish us luck!
