A Much Needed Update!

All I can say is "God is Good"!  Addison and Ethan are growing up so fast.  Addison's vocabulary has expanded to multiple sentences.  She is incredibly smart and is already asking "why".  It is super exciting!  Ethan is also growing up fast.  He is sitting up on his own, eating stage 2 foods, giggling at Addison, and doing the funniest things with his paci.  I can't even begin to try to explain it.  Its one of those things you just have to see for yourself.  He currently weighs 17lbs and is wearing 3-9month clothing. 

Paul started his new job this past week.  He is Account Executive for Roper Staffing.  He loves his job so far and is excited to be back in the work field.  We sold our house this week!  We are excited about moving into a bigger house the end of November.  Please pray with us that the inspection goes well this week. 

Ready for football Season

Go Gamecocks!!!

Ethan is 5 months old

Ethan continues to grow quickly.  Within the past couple of weeks he has started sitting up on his own, rolling over from side to side, eating vegetables and rice cereal, reaching for everything, interacting with other children at daycare, he still LOVES his Addison, he loves watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, got his first tooth (9-2-10)...I could go on and on.  During the week he goes to bed around 6:30pm and wakes up at 6am.  He is such a wonderful baby.  Here are some pictures of him in his Halloween costume that just came in the mail.  We have been calling him our little dinosaur, so it only made sense that he would be a dinosaur for Halloween.

Brother and Sister love!

Addison wrapped her arms around Ethan and his arm fell right behind her.  It was so precious!  They are so lucky to have each other!

20 Weeks Old

Ethan is growing up so fast and I feel that I owe everyone a little update...
1. Ethan is sitting up with a little assistance which is really fun for play time
2. He has been eating rice ceral for about a month and we just started introducing peas...which he likes!
3. He is drooling like crazy!  I would not be surprised if we saw some teeth soon :)
4. He weighs close to 16 lbs and is in 3-6 month clothing
5. His eyes change colors from blue to green depending on what he wears
6. He has the cutest smile and the cutest laugh
7. Unlike Addison, he has been sleeping in his bedroom for a couple of months already and is sleeping from 8pm to about 5:30am...we are not complaining!
8. He LOVES his big sister and loves when she plays with him
9. He loves hanging out in his "stand-up" toy while watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
10.  ...most importantly...he LOVES his momma and is not ashamed to be a Momma's Boy!

My Classroom

I have been working really hard in my classroom this summer.  Our school combined with another school and we moved into a new building.  This is the before picture of my room.
