Harder than Law School


This week is potty training week! So far CJ is off to a great start. In fact, he just called me to say he's pottied again. We're very proud. It's a lot of work for him (and us). The first day he looked so tired by the end of the day, but at dinner that night he said very loudly "Oh no! I am going potty!" Luckily, he wasn't yet and he made it on time. We thought the candy reward would be the best part, but he seems to like pouring and flushing best. He says, "good-bye pee!" as it goes down. The second day we hit the potty more times than we missed and today we've only had one accident so far. We are really, really proud of him. I have to say though that he seems really relieved when he gets to put his diaper on for bed. He hasn't been asking for one during the day though. I think he likes the feeling of not having one on even if its hard to remember to go. He's a bit sad about being a big boy too, I think. He's been asking to be held a lot this week- at least more than normal it seems.
Another quick funny story...Saturday night, Mama went out with her friends and our friend Sami came over for a boys night. When I asked CJ what the boys did he cocked his head to one side and said, "aww, we just hung out." It was hilarous. I guess I'll be hearing that for the next 20 years.
P.S. The picture was from October when we took CJ to pick out a pumpkin.

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...

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.

School Days

I honestly couldn't say what happened this summer in terms of updating the blog.  I suppose my excuse is that we were extremely busy at work, but still you would think I would have managed to add at least one update.  Anyway, I am going to try and get better at this and Case says he'd like to update ya'll once in awhile, too. Here are some pics of the kids during their first days of school.  It's hard to believe that CJ and Ceirnan are both in school this year.  They have grown so big and so smart.  Casey and I are constantly amazed at how much they continue to change and yet how their personalities are really the same as the first day they were born. CJ is loving kindergarten at his big school.  His favorites right now are Math ("even though it's not real Math"), Library, and Computer Lab.  He is making friends and his teachers really seem to love seeing him so that makes me happy.  He is currently working on printing his letter...
