Lets start with Emmilyne. She is 3! I hear it is the "old 2" as in the "terrible 2's " and I think that I would have to agree..... she can not seem to calm down on anything. She is running, talking, hiding, singing and I know.... being a kid... but she is always waking Beckam up. The boy never gets any sleep with her around.
She is in a pre-school called Whistle Stop. It is a private school and she is excelling at it.... she talks about her new friends: Hunter, Gracie, and Lizzie (all girls) but also talks about Jake... the two of them run on the playground. Don't get boy crazy yet... I think he just likes to run and hop and so does Emmilyne. But Carson had a birhtday this past week.... she has sung happy birthday to him all weekend. She is so sweet. She is hugging Chris and I. She also has this new thing that everytime she kisses us... well... she kisses both cheeks, our forehead and then our lips. Not sure if I did that a few times but now it is our thing... there could be worse habbits.
Beckam. Well he is 5 months old and was baptized earlier this month (the 12th). My sister and brother in law were here from Chicago, my parents from Kansas and Chris's family too. Julie, Jason, Cathy and Rick are all Godparents.
It was great to have everyone here and Chris and I are glad that it has been done. He, of course, was a beautiful baby. He is getting so big....he too just melts my heart.
He has started a day school program. He is attending the First Baptist Church day school. I really like it for him. The ratio is very low... 7:2 which makes me feel really good too. I like the ladies that have him in the morning but I LOVE the ladies that have him in the afternoon. They spoil him rotten....he is always in a great mood when I go and get him in the afternoon after work. He did wonderful at his 5 month check up. Growing like a weed. 14 pounds 12 ounces and 26 3/4 inches long... that is the 40% for weight and 75% for height.
He will be tall and slender. That is what a mama always wants for her boy.
Chris and I... well.. I wen back to work in late September. A job sorta fell into my lap and Chris and I could not pass up the opportunities that it would give us. I work at the corporate level of Marketing for three nursing homes in Dallas. I get to be at in my car all day long... (sometimes not a good thing) traveling to and from hospitals.. marketing and doing clinical assessments. Anyway it is never the same day twice and it keeps me busy. I think that working makes me a better wife and mom. It seems to "balance" me. I have more time... actually to be with the kids. The house is not as clean on the weekdays but it all gets caught up by Monday. Chris and I will celebrate 5 years of marriage on the 15th. Seems like yesterday we got married. he never ceases to amazing me in the things that he thinks of for me or the kids. I love him more today than I did the day we got married and I never thought that was possible. He has always stood beside me and held my hand and given me the two best presents a wife could ever ask for.
