Trip








Well, we made it. We took our first across country car trip. The kids were amazing. I was so impressed. We actually had a really great time traveling with them. We drove from Delaware to Kansas City via Kentucky on the way out and then Kansas City to Delaware via Ohio on the way back. We really had a good time. It was our best Kansas City trip ever except that Grandma was sick so we didn't get to spend nearly enough time with her.

We just had so many fun adventures. On the first day we stopped at a state park in West Virginia and CJ got to feed some huge carp. The next day we got to stop and see Michael, Sarah, Abby, and Evan on the way to Kansas City. Evan and CJ had a wonderful time. Poor Abby was too sick to play, but I did get a chance to read her a few books. Then we got to stop at Shakespeare's for pizza. YEAH!!!!! We got to Kansas City and had a wonderful picnic with family and friends. We visited the Kansas City Zoo with PopPop and cousin Nevaeh. I was amazed by the changes. We had a mother/daughter tea and the boys had a father/son day too! We spent some time shopping and of course went to Chuck-E-Cheese. CJ has decided it's a tradition to go to Chuck-E-Chese when in Kansas City. On the way home, we stopped by Loami to see some of Casey's family that we had not seen in years. It was a very special day.

Here are some pics! We hope you enjoy them.

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...
