Earth Day







We had a great time celebrating Earth Day yesterday. Casey and the kids picked me up from work and we went to the park to have a picnic. Then the kids got a chance to play a bit. It was nice to have some family time as we are always so rushed between work and Casey heading to school.

CJ was quite intrigued by all the big kids showing up for baseball and soccer practice. He can't wait to join a team. He is always asking us to coach while he kicks the soccer ball or shoots baskets with his basketball. He has also become an avid runner and has to have a race from the stop sign and back every time we walk out the door. He also spent a fair amount of time watching Ninja Warrior so he loves obstacle courses. He uses the playground equipment to create them and then asks us to time him. It's so fun to see him enjoying the sunshine and nature so much.

Ceirnan really enjoyed her first time at the park. She loved the swing and giggled every time it went back and forth. The slide didn't seem to impress her too much. It's funny because CJ has always loved slides even from when he was that small, but he never liked the swing. Still doesn't. Ceirnan just seems to like being out when the wind is blowing and the birds are singing. She listens intently and smiles every time the wind kisses her skin.

It was a great Earth Day. We wish we could hit the Earth Day celebration in Columbia this weekend. It was always such a great time, but we will get a chance to be outside. UD's AG Day is on Saturday. We're looking forward to seeing the animals, hearing some bluegrass, and eating UD's own ice cream.

Our boys hated the swings when they were little. Now they are ok on them, in fact it was a little startling when one day they hopped on and started swinging. Riley thinks it's great. It's fun seeing her be her own little person. And it's soooooo great to get out in the spring air! Bring on the Clariton! ;)

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...
