Rice Nose


Life continues to move forward and things here are good. Casey is rocking the semester and just received two more As on exams and quizzes. He is so smart. I am enjoying a brief hiatus from traditional education, playing with CJ, and resting. CJ is frustrated that he doesn't have music school everyday, but luckily Miss Karen made us a CD so we can practice everyday.
We are getting excited for next weekend when Pop Pop, Nana, Uncle Eric, Uncle Nick, and Aunt Cece will arrive to help celebrate my law school graduation along with all of our other friends and Philly family here. CJ, of course, thinks they are only coming to visit him and has a list of games that he will expect to be played. He also plans on Nana swimming at the beach.
As far as CJ goes, he just continues to get brighter everyday. I am constantly amazed at how well he speaks and how good he is at drawing conclusions. However, he is still a typical almost three-year-old as was evidenced by his decision to place rice up his nose at lunch yesterday. Casey and I were laughing so hard. I was trying to keep it together so I could be stern, but it was quiet funny. After I removed it and explained that rice doesn't go up your nose. He continued to insist that he wanted a "rice nose". It was too much.
The pic is just an example of CJs favorite was to sit. He even waddles around the house like that when he is playing sometimes. I can't wait for everyone to see him again soon.

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...
