Long time no blog...I'll be the first to admit I'm not a consistant blogger but 2 months...where does the time go?! I keep waiting for a "break" to catch up on missed blogs but then I thought - I'm a mother of a two year old, wife of a work-aholic-sports-fanatic and a serious control freak so odds are I won't be getting any kind of "break" for the next 20+ years. I am {starting} to realize that.
With that said, we have had a great summer! I'm working full time and love it! Love my job; love my co-workers; love it all! My sister kept Reese all summer and they had an absolute blast! She and Cabe took Reese on her fist trip to Chuckie Cheese, went to the water park, the children's measum and the zoo. If you have ever seen Cabe and Reese together they are a handful! I'm not sure quite how Nicole did it. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful sister. But as sweet as she is, she wouldn't quit her job to keep Reese full time - which I am still upset about ;) but luckily, when she started back to school this fall, we found a sweet lady to watch Reese. She is as kind hearted and patient as they come. As a mom there is nothing harder than leaving your baby with an uneasy feeling. I can honestly say that we all love Mrs. Candy {Reese's sitter} and think this school year will be great!
Reese, oh Reese...has really turned into a little lady this summer. She amazes me everyday! Here's the run down:
- Potty Trained!!! (and has been for a while)
- Eats a frozen pancake every morning for breakfast
- Loves music more and more!
-Thinks every toy is musical and if not makes her own music noises {as in the tennis raquet that she thinks is a guitar.}
- Requests songs and sings along at bed time. Some of her favorties - Twinkle, Twinkle and Mr. Froggie
- Talks, talks, talks! The crazy thing about this is we know what she is saying! In the spring it was still crazy jibber-jabber. Then, early in the summer, we could communicate but for the most part she just repeated everything we said. And now, she tells her own stories! And boy are they entertaining!
- Um, loves to throw stuff out the window. Thinks a "litter-bug" is a good thing?
- Is such a daddy's girl :)
She is so enjoyable we just love her to peices! This fall has already started in high-gear. Robert is now working in Memphis - as of last Monday- so we are all together, working and living in the same time zone. We have already been to Knoxville once and have one, possibly two more trips planned this season. One of my best friends from college is getting married!! And we have to move. I see many oppurtunities for blogging in my very near future and promise I'll try my best to keep up!
After two crazy years, three cities and four moves I finally feel like I am right where I need to be. I'm really looking forward to the fall and all that is in store.
p.s. I'll be posting pictures and videos very soon!!
July 4th is one of my favorite holidays in Atlanta. There are probably about 5 or 6 big firework shows, lots of day festivals...so much to do! One of our favorites is the Lenox Mall firework show. People put out lawn chairs or blankets on any open spot for miles in every direction. We like to pack a cooler and snacks and just take it all in! This year we strolled to a ColdStone Creamery close to the show...apparently everyone else had the same genius idea. Poor Robert stood in the ice cream line during the entire firework display and about 20 minutes afterwards. BUT we got free ice cream!! Reese loves ice cream and Robert loves Free so we were a happy family :)
