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! :)

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...

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!

Spring

Newest update. We're all upside. No, things are going okay. Casey and CJ seem to be doing well together. They are quite the little travelers and come out on the train twice a week to meet Mommy. CJ is missing his Grandma Dee and his Uncle Johnny though. When he gets in the care he often goes Dee...Dee...Dee... Hopefully, we'll head over there this weekend. The picture was taken by Laurie at Grandma Dee's house. He is doing great though. He's talking a lot more and he loves to dance. He's got some great moves too. I'll try to catch some thing weekend and post the pictures. He loves Sesame Street and will give you the evil eye if you interrupt him. What else? Mommy is madly trying to finish up her semester and is dreading summer classes. However, she is quite excited that she will be finished in December. CJ is too. He's taken to being really mad at Mommy being gone during the day. It seems like it made sense that both Mama and Daddy were gon...
