The War



Here is a picture of CJ last Halloween. It's amazing how much he has grown. We were in Blue Springs and he went trick or treating with his cousins Dakota and Cheyenne. He had so much fun. This weekend we are going to buy a Halloween costume. So far CJ has mentioned being a dog and a house. I'm not sure what he'll decide on. LOL! Casey wants CJ to be a fireman so that Casey can dress up as a fire engine. CJ doesn't seem to want to do that though.

Last weekend we didn't get to go to either of our planned destination. I ended up working on Saturday and Sunday Case really needed to study so our plans were delayed. It's cold and rainy this weekend so we may have to go to the pumpkin patch next week. I'm hoping that Sunday will warm up though. CJ is really excited to go.

Many of you may wonder why I entitled this the war. Well, it's because CJ and Casey have drawn lines over this new little boys name. Casey really wants to name him Cooper and CJ is having nothing of it. He loves the name Connall and has told me on more than one occasion that the baby coming out is Connall not Cooper. The two of them spend hours arguing back and forth about it. I keep saying we'll wait until this little guy gets here to see, but I think CJ will likely call him Connall no matter what. As you can see, we've add a poll specifically for your input into the matter.

Everything with Cooper/Connall is going well. With each passing week, I am more and more ready to just get in and get him here. We get to have another ultrasound next week so that will be fun. This weekend we're going to get out the baby things to really assess what else we need and then hit Target and Babies R Us to get items off the registry.

Anyhow, we miss you all and hope that things are good there.

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!
