Christmas





















Umm...am I really just posting Christmas pictures. It's Jan. 21. The answer is yes. The kids were spoiled for Christmas, which is just as it should be I suppose. Christmas started out on 12/12 with an early visit to Santa. We had a lovely morning enjoying the kids and watching them play with all of their new toys. Then we welcomed the newest members of the family to the house- Goldie and Jelly. Goldie is CJ's goldfish and Jelly is his snail. On the following Friday, we were treated to an adorable Christmas program at CJ's school. We headed out to Kansas City where the festivities continued. We spent Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma Becky's where CJ got some real cowboy boots and Ceirnan became a little fashionista with a fun new outfit. We woke on Christmas day to see that Santa had come again to PopPop and Nana's. The morning was filled with fun as Aunt CeCe and Cherie arrived and Uncle Eric and Aunt Alycia came too. We even got to stick around to see what Santa brought Nevaeh. We then jetted off to Grandma's house for an amazing Christmas dinner and more presents to open. It was a whirlwind, but a great one!! The kids had so much fun and Casey and I were just so humbled by the amount of love that is in our family. Here are some pics of our holiday times.

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!
