McGinnis Family Fun









CJ and I have been having a great time at home when Daddy goes to school or goes out. We play pretend camping or dress-up or just spend time reading. Ceirnan likes to join in on the fun too. One of CJ's favorites is the "CJ and Ceirnan Show". CJ dances and Ceirnan bounces and Mama sings. He is just so cute.

CJ has grown like crazy in the last month. He's pants all became highwaters so we had to pick him up some new ones this weekend when we were out. His problem is he's really too skinny for 3Ts, but he needs the length. I'll probably be doing some tailoring this week. He has lost that last little bit of "toddlerhood" and has definitely moved into being a true kid.

Ceirnan is doing great. She is growing like a weed. We received some disappointing news this week at the elbow specialist. He said her radial dislocation cannot be fixed. Apparently, it's something that is more common than we knew and that she will just live with it. When she becomes an adult if it is painful, they can do surgery. We were more disappointed by the fact that we have wasted time working on her hand while we waited for this word from the elbow doctor.

We went down to the beach this weekend. (Beach is in Delaware. Shore is in Jersey. I don't know why I make this distinction in word choice, but I do.) It was a beautiful day and a beautiful ride. The beach was a bit cool, but CJ got to dig for awhile and Ceirnan got to see the ocean for the first time. It was a nice trip.

The pics above were just some I took with my phone. I'll send out some more soon. The one of CJ is especially funny for us because it reminds us of our friend Fuller.

I've been able to find toddler pants that have elastic strips in the waistband that you can cinch in or let out and hold in place with a button. It comes in handy for us because Lohgan has the same issue of long legs and skinny waist.

Sorry about the disappointing news. Have you looked into getting a second opinion? It's disheartening to be told there's nothing you can do.

Much Love!

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...
