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.

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!
