September







Here we are almost to the end of September. The time just continues to fly by so quickly. The first two weeks of the month were certainly crazy as we adjusted to new schedules. I think we've all finally hit our stride though. Here are a few milestones for the month.

CJ started pre-school again.
He is now adding simple numbers like 5+1.
He can write most of his numbers and about half of his letters.
He knows the names of his soccer skills (passing, dribbling, and shooting) and is getting really good at all of them.

Ceirnan is pulling herself up to stand.
She will take several steps holding onto our fingers.
She's even beginning to climb. (We are not that excited about this one. LOL!)
She's saying Mama on a regular basis now and is really trying to get out Dada (come out Baba).
She's picking up and eating Cheerios like a pro.

Casey is doing great in school.
He's keeping up with all of his school work and has received excellent grades on the few things he's had to turn in so far.
He is also doing an amazing job being stay-at-home Super Dad.

Courtney's article was published in the e-zine Academic Advising Today.
She's taking on more responsibilities at work.
She's official lost over 75 lbs and counting.

Now we are just getting ready to get down to Disney World for Mama's conference. CJ is so excited to see Mickey!

You've got a couple of cuties there!! Congrats on having your article published and the weight loss. I know how tough it can be to do something for yourself in the midst of all you do for your family and for work. Crazy times!! Keep it up pretty lady! :)

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...
