Fall is Here


Okay...okay...I know I've been terrible about updating the blog. Thanks, Mike, for reminding me. LOL!

Things in Delaware are good. We are starting to settle into the new routine now that CJ and Casey are both in school. Case is facing midterms next week, but I'm confident that he will do great. He sure studies 10x harder than I ever did. CJ still loves school. He seems to be making a few friends and he really loves his teachers. I think Case and I both feel confident that this preschool was a good choice for him.

CJ has gone into full big brother mode and is really getting excited about the baby. He wasn't even jealous when we received the first present for the baby from Aunt Cherie. Two adorable outfits- one for Christmas and one Guess sweatsuit for everyday wear (with the cutest booties ever). He was actually excited and grew even more excited when I gave him the ribbon off the package to use for his finish line. He loves races right now. We play finish line at least 10 times a day.

I am really ready to have the baby even though we probably have 4-6 weeks to go. (Okay, so I'm hoping I go a bit early.) Casey and I still have lots of things to do to get ready though so it's probably good we've got a few weeks. We're taking it one day at a time.

This weekend we are hoping to hit the pumpkin patch on Sunday. CJ and Mama are going with Uncle Johnny to the Wilmington Train on Saturday so Daddy can study. It should be a great fall weekend. We are also counting the days until Aunt Cece and Uncle Nick arrive just in time for Halloween.

We miss you all and I will definitely get pics posted after this weekend. The pic above is Casey and CJ on a ferry ride out to Fort Delaware.

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...

Getting Ready for Baby

What a difference getting ready for a second baby is compared to the first. With CJ, we had things bought, washed, and put away 3-4 months before he was set to arrive. We had the nursery together and way too many things we would find out we really didn't need. This time around we're in week 37 and we just realized that I really could deliver any day now so we probably should at least pull out the car seat. We're not going with a crib as we tend to be co-sleepers plus there is not a lot of room in our bedroom. We got out the pack-n-play and added the bassinet function. It might get more use than with CJ who always slept with us just due to the fact that I expect CJ will want to climb into the bed too (at least at first). We have his old crib mattress ready to lay down on our floor in a ploy to keep him involved in a way that avoids 4 bodies in the bed. We had a few outfits for the baby that we bought along the way, but had not yet gone through CJ's old clothes. We finall...

Halloween Update

What a great Halloween! CJ had a wonderful time trick or treating and visiting with Aunt Cece and Uncle Nick. The pictures above show the three day fun. Thursday we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins and get some apples. CJ had a great time playing on all the fun wooden equipment. Trick or treating was definitely quiet here in Newark. As you can see from the photo CJ was a fireman and Daddy was a fire truck. It was quite funny. There were not that many kids trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. It really made me sad to see such an awesome community event begin to disappear. Maybe it's just where we are though. Anyway, CJ still had fun and got lots of candy because people were trying hard to give it away. He walked over to Uncle Sami and Aunt Vicky's house and received extra special treats that he was very proud of and excited to eat. The evening was gloomy and wet, which was just spooky enough to be fun. The rest of the weekend went great too. CJ...
