I guess I'm in another blogging "funk," if you will. I don't have many new pictures - and that is usually what inspires me to post. So, boring as it may be, here is a re-cap of what each of us has been up to:
James: He got back last week from 6 days away from his girls! He was in the Virginia/D.C. area for a work conference. He really enjoyed it, and I think learned so much. He came back with lots of new ideas that he was excited about sharing with his co-workers. He was also able to visit Travis, Kelly and sweet baby Bennett while he was there. I was totally jealous!! We are so glad that Bennett has been doing so well. He is SUCH a fighter. And SO handsome!
James is also enjoying
ACU pledging right now. He is a Galaxy sponsor, so he has had a few late nights - and a few funny stories. He'll have to blog about that, though.
He's doing great coaching Kaitlyn's soccer team! They are really fun to watch. James gets a little too competitive though for little 4 year
olds. He usually has to seriously calm himself down after every game. And they don't even keep score!
Leslie: I got to enjoy some
fabulous "me" time this past weekend. I traveled to the
Metroplex all ALONE and loved it! I was able to have dinner with my sweet friend
Cortni, enjoy some time with my Grandmother, and then spend the rest of the weekend with my sweet friend Meredith! We got the greatest pedicures EVER, saw a great movie - The Kingdom, got to eat at
PeiWei, got
Braums lime sherbet, and had a relaxing afternoon on Sunday. Thanks Meredith!! :) I was very ready to get home and see my family though! As much fun as I had - there was this lingering "guilty" feeling the whole time I was gone.
Last Thursday I had
Bunko at my house. We haven't played in a really long time, and it was fun to catch up with those girls - and get to know a couple of new ones! I am so blessed with such great girl friends in Abilene.
Kaitlyn: She is still loving
PreK. They are learning so much and stay really busy! She is getting so good at writing letters and numbers, drawing creative pictures, learning sign language and a little bit more
spanish. She is always wiped out on Tuesday/Thursday afternoons though. I can't imagine how tired she will be when "real" school starts next year!
She is doing great at soccer! She really enjoys going to each practice and every game. I think she has scored at least one goal in each game. But, most importantly - she is having fun and getting some great exercise! Now, if the weather would just cool off a little bit!
Cora: She is finally crawling around everywhere! She loves to follow Kaitlyn around. She also loves to stand at the front or back door and look outside. Her four words are Daddy, Mama, Uh-oh, and Bye-Bye. She loves to wave and blow kisses. She pulls up on everything and has even stood on her own for a few seconds. She just can't wait to chase her sister around. She is a great sleeper at naps and night time. She is a CHUNK to say the least. I think she weighs around 25 pounds and she's 9 1/2 months old! She's so cuddly and loves being hugged and kissed on. She is truly a JOY!
Chandler: Yep - it's official. Thanks to all of your comments and lots of convincing from me and Kaitlyn - James finally decided that he liked it. I am so excited! So far, she is a very chill baby. I rarely feel her move at all. I go and get her heart rate checked fairly often (doctor's orders) just to make sure she is okay! Maybe she'll just be very laid back. A girl can wish right? !
So....there is the recap. I will try and take some new pictures soon!
