Summer Time







Well, we are still adjusting to being back in Delaware. Case has two more weeks of his summer class left and we are gearing up for CJ's third birthday. CJ is extremely excited about it and continues adding people to his list of invites that currently includes Mama, Daddy, PopPop, Uncle John John, Jess, the other Jess, Grandma Dee, and Caillou (for those that don't know he's a cartoon). He also wants his brother and sister to come (he doesn't understand or yet).

This week he has keyed in on the word dangerous and uses it to describe all kinds of activities especially the ones he doesn't to do such as cleaning up his toys. He was really excited to go to the doctor this week to see the baby. He was quite mad when Dr. Shawl didn't give him a picture to take home.

The baby is doing well. He or she was excited for the close up and managed to wave an arm or leg our way. We can't wait to go and get the real sonogram done at the end of July. For now, we're just happy that the baby looks healthy and is a wiggle worm. I'm enjoying the light kicks throughout the day. The most interesting part is that the baby is extremely active when CJ starts to talk. I guess even in utero they know that kids are more fun.

Here are some pics of CJ when we went to AG Day in May. The first is CJ eating a hot dog and jamming out to the music and the second is him in the maze (one of his favorite things to do).

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...

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...
