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.

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...

Home Again

Well, we made it back to Philly! Its been a crazy few weeks though. CJ came back with an ear infection and brocholitis. Then he and Mama ended up with the flu on top of that. Poor Casey had to take care of both of us. I started classes the Monday we got back and so we're back into the swing of a semester. Thank goodness I'm almost done- only one more semester after this one. We had a great time in Kansas City visiting with all of our friends aned family. CJ misses everyone and loves to look through the photo album and point out his family. He also misses his friends Ian and Eli who he absolutely loved to tag after when we visited The Menzies- Spangie, Drew, Sierra, Ian, and Eli. He had a great Christmas full of suprises and travels. He is definitely one spoiled little boy, but we don't mind. Thank you all so much. His favorite thing seems to be his quad bike that his Aunt Dawn and Uncle Eric gave him. He loves zipping around our living room with it. We are still waiting to ...

Update

No major news to update. We're all on pins and needles waiting for the baby to arrive. At this point, it looks like we will definitely have a little one sometime next week if not earlier. Today is my last day of work. I'm definitely ready as I am starting to need more rest and am feeling some major shifting in the baby. Last night Pop Pop arrived though so it definitely brought some excitement to the house. CJ was showered with gifts from Aunt Cherie and Aunt CeCe, which he has been certain to remind us are the gifts for big brothers! He is getting excited at the thought that the baby is coming home soon. Of course, he's even more excited that Pop Pop is here for a long time and that his Nana and Grandma will be out soon too. We will try to keep you all updated when things start progressing. Just wish us luck!
