Put Me in Coach...




Spring is starting to roar into Delaware. We had an extremely mild winter with only one good snow storm. We still have cold nights, but most days warm up pretty quickly. This has allowed the kids much play time (as you see above).

So, what is going on this week. LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL! Wow! I had no idea how complicated it is to get a kid enrolled and to be involved. We haven't even been assigned to a team, but there are two mandatory meetings and a field clean-up day. Not that I mind, but it must be hard for some families to make that kind of commitment. We are required to volunteer in the concession stand, which again is likely fine for us since there are two of us. If you were a single parent with more than one child, I am not sure how you could do it. Many of the games and practices are when Case is in school. During those times, I'll have Ceirnan by myself and will be unable to help out. It just really makes you think about how hard it is for those parents that never have a partner to help them especially when we are told it is mandatory. The positive side- CJ IS SO EXCITED! He can hardly wait. He can't help smiling every time we drive by a baseball field. Once we meet the coach and get settled in, I'm sure a lot of my nervousness will vanish as well. We're ready for opening day- APRIL 14!

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...
