Changes



Here we are in May. Life has been crazy, busy, and to be honest a bit stressful. We just sold the jeep this week, which was a much bigger project than we expected. We are hoping to sign the lease on a new house this weekend if all goes well. Then we have 6 weeks to get our old house cleaned out and packed up. Case is facing the end of the semester, papers, projects, and finals! Not to mention he is coaching soccer and the Vice-President of a student organization on campus.


CJ is doing great. I know he'll face some sadness at the end of the preschool year. All of his friends are moving on to various preschools. We have plans to keep the dynamic four (Nick, Avery, Sophia, and CJ) getting together for play dates as much as possible, but it will be hard for him to adjust to all new students. As far as learning and growing goes, he amazes us more each day. He's a great runner and just so smart. Moreover, he's developing an extremely witty sense of humor!


Ceirnan...no longer a baby. She actually said a whole sentence to me the other night. "Brother has water." She also says "I love you". Such a sweet girl. She's a lot more mischievous that CJ was though. She loves to climb. Perhaps the cutest thing of all though is her love for dance. When she is out walking she stops every so often to throw in a twirl. She's extremely independent and has no problem letting you know when you are cramping her style.



We were so lucky to have Pop Pop come out for two whole weeks. The picture above is from the Blue Rocks game. The Blue Rocks are one of Kansas City's farm teams. The kids had a blast and were spoiled with batting helmets and ball caps.

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!
