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! ;)

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...

Fall Fun

Did summer really happen? Has it really been 3 1/2months since I lasted posted? We cannot believe how fast it has gone. Moving just takes a lot out of us especially now that we have two. Time seems to march by more and more quickly. I try desperately to soak up every available minute I can because the kids are growing and changing so much. Most of you know that we decided to have CJ go to Pre -K this year. He loves it and is doing so well. Each night we do homework from workbooks that Aunt Cece sent. Just like his Mama, CJ begs for extra homework- particularly Math. He loves addition, puzzles, and mazes. It will be interesting to see if that stays with him as he grows. He is slowly starting to read on his own. I haven't been challenging him as much as I probably should since he's not in kindergarten yet. He's such a funny boy who likes to tell jokes. He's an avid runner and did great in his running club this Fall. Ceirnan is amazing. Just amazing. People who don'...

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...
