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?

Christmas in Kansas City

CJ is having a wonderful time in Kansas City despite a rough start. Midwest airlines wasn't able to get the family into Kansas City the way they were supposed to do. Instead they got Mama, Daddy, and a very sleepy CJ to St. Louis on Monday morning about 2:30am and to a Days Inn by the airport. His Grandpa and Uncle Eric had to come and rescue him from St. Louis the next morning. Once he arrived in Blue Springs though the fun really started. He was blessed beyond measure and spoiled completely by all his Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles. He even got his own ride on battery operated bike that he instantly new how to run. He also had his first real opportunity to run out and play in the snow with Grandpa and boy did he love it. He had been trying to get out for days and convinced Mommy to let him go. I'll post some pictures of it later. All in all he's having a great time.

Then There Were Three

After a two year hiatus, we are going to try and keep up with this blog again.  We hope you will enjoy reading about some of our adventures again and sharing in our joys and sorrows. We are adjusting to life with three little ones.  Of course, CJ's not really little anymore and Ceirnan has grown up so much, too.  Cooper is doing great.  He's gaining weight and really starting to recognize the faces around him.   CJ and Ceirnan love being older siblings and are such great helpers for Casey and I.  Summer is moving by quickly so we're just trying to have as much fun and family time as possible.  Casey and I just feel so blessed to have these amazing children in our lives. Life is not always easy, but we are some of the lucky ones. For now, here are some recent pictures of the kids.

Global Baby

He's getting so big!  It's hard to believe that Cooper is 2 1/2 months old.  We've been home for 2 whole months and he is just growing like a weed.  The first month he gained just over a pound and was still very small.  This last month he gained over 2 pounds.  He looks huge to us, although, he's still only in the 20th percentile for his age. What's more noticeable than his size is how social he is becoming.  While he is still a Mama's boy, he is delighted to be a little brother and grins from ear-to-ear at the sight of his brother and sister.  His other favorite activity is hanging onto Daddy's beard.  It's funny, but when he cries it sounds just like he's saying Mama. Speaking of being social, we've discovered two of Cooper's favorite things- music and reading.  He bounces along and gets so excited when Ceirnan sings to him or plays the kiddie CD player.  CJ found Cooper's favorite book, Global Babies.  Cooper coos to the...
