My baby is growing too fast! He is starting to hold his head up! In this picture he is looking at himself in a mirror & smiling. Just like his Daddy!

Texas Trip

I am putting myself up for an award, or at least applying to join a mental institution. I flew to TX by myself with 2 small children. Luckily, my children we good, but that did not stop the stares & I even got asked once what seat we were sitting in & an "oh good, not by me" when I told her. On the other hand, there were some very nice people that helped us out & said sweet things to Morgan which made her be especially good knowing people were watching her. But once we got there, we had a great time with all our family. Morgan has never had so much fun! Cousins, Cousins, Cousins, 8 of them!!! Cooper was an angel & I think came back with a few of his aunts' hearts. I do appreciate all of you who spoiled him rotten & I am now working very hard to undo it! My biggest highlight was the Texas tradition of taking the kids pictures in the bluebonnets, I have been trying to time my trips home around Bluebonnet season for 4 years and this is the first time it has worked. Thanks Dad for showing us a very "Texas Day" filled with bluebonnets, BBQ and even an armadillo crossing the road.

Charleston

We took our first trip since little man was born & went with Stephen on a business trip to Charleston. Wonderful time. Morgan loved going to the Aquarium & the beach. Cooper could have cared less, he slept the whole time, which made it a nice trip for me.

I'm Back

OK, so a little has gone on since the last time I did this. You know, having those dang kids just sucks the time & energy out of you. But I am just patting myself on the back for doing this & Cooper is just 3 months old. So I will share photos from birth on... Cooper is healthy and doing fine. The C-Section went as well as it can, never any fun, but the prize at the end is worth it. Morgan is being a huge help, although we have gotten into some issues of her wanting to be a baby. But I say, if she isn't trying to hurt the child, I can handle it. She just makes sure that she gets her fair share of one on one everyday. Other than that, we have just been trying to figure it all out. But WOW how your perspective changes as you go through life. After Morgan I thought that the world was divided into people who had kids & those that didn't. Just because my thoughts about everything changed the minute I had her. Everything looked different, and selfishness went right out the window, along with sleep. And then I had Cooper. And now I am convinced, that I know nothing. I am just sure of the fact that the world is made up of many different types of people, those with no children, those with one, with 2, with 3 because I feel totally different with him here now. Your time gets split in half and your love doubles. It is the strangest and most wonderful feeling all at the same time. But we are slowly starting to figure out how to make it all work, and are having a blast doing it. Bring on the third kid! Just kidding.
