October







I guess I'm officially blogging once a month now. Life just continues to get crazier and crazier as we deal with work, school, preschool, church, etc. That being said the McGinnis family is still finding time to have a good time.

Most of you know that the month started off with a trip down to Disney. The pics above are from breakfast at Chef Mickey's. We had a wonderful time meeting all the characters. Ceirnan found Donald a bit suspect though and proceed to cry any time he came by. Overall though, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it for anyone who brings their kids to Disney World. You have to get reservations far in advance though unless you are really lucky (like we were thank goodness). We spent time at Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot. I wish we had more time available, but I had a conference so we had to limit our time a bit.

We came back to celebrate Casey's birthday and had a wonderful time doing it. Case received some fun gifts and got to host a true Kansas City BBQ. His favorite activity. The night was filled with food, friends, and fall weather. We felt blessed to have such a wonderful group with us to celebrate.

Sunday we spent the afternoon running errands and playing at the pumpkin patch. We picked out our family of pumpkins. CJ ran through all three mazes (corn, hay, sorghum) like a pro and really enjoyed going on the hay ride. It was a beautiful day. Ceirnan loved the pumpkins and the cool breeze on her face.

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'...

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.
