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.

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...
