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!

Christmas in Kansas City

CJ is having a wonderful time in Kansas City despite a rough start. Midwest airlines wasn't able to get the family into Kansas City the way they were supposed to do. Instead they got Mama, Daddy, and a very sleepy CJ to St. Louis on Monday morning about 2:30am and to a Days Inn by the airport. His Grandpa and Uncle Eric had to come and rescue him from St. Louis the next morning. Once he arrived in Blue Springs though the fun really started. He was blessed beyond measure and spoiled completely by all his Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles. He even got his own ride on battery operated bike that he instantly new how to run. He also had his first real opportunity to run out and play in the snow with Grandpa and boy did he love it. He had been trying to get out for days and convinced Mommy to let him go. I'll post some pictures of it later. All in all he's having a great time.

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...
