July 2012

Well we started July off with a bang... literally... I made plans to take Reed to the fireworks show in downtown Montgomery... it happened earlier than normal and we MISSED IT! Reed was so disappointed. I felt horrible! So, to make up for it thankfully the Biscuits were playing that weekend with fireworks following the game! It was pretty hot but we had so much fun! The next big event in July came when we expanded our family by FOUR paws.... yes we went to the Humane Shelter and got a sweet kitten! She is a pretty good cat for the most part...she is tortoise shell (brown and black) so we ended up naming her Mocha. Luke was NOT sure about her at first and of course she was terrified of him as well! They play pretty well together now! July 12th we also set out on our very first vacation as a family of FOUR! We went to Ft. Walton beach with my mom, dad, brother, sister in law and niece! We had so much fun! Reed has asked on multiple occasions if we can go to the bank and get some money to go back and ride the go karts! He is a mess! We had a blast but I was glad to be home after 3 days away from home with two little ones. We celebrated Reed's FOURTH birthday on July 28th at Ace Bowling Center. Reed had sooo much fun and had a TON of his friends come! He had all but 2 friends from preschool to come bowling with him! He celebrated at his gran and granddaddy's on Sunday then we went out to eat at Sommer's Place on Monday the 30th (his actual birthday) with Flo and Jennifer. Reed had his 4 yr old check up and handled his one shot like a pro! I was so proud of him. He is also growing like a weed and was 30 lbs 8 ozs and was 38 1/4 inches tall! All in all July was a great month for us and we can't wait to see what August hold's for us! Oh and in case I forgot to mention it I accepted a job as one of the 4 year old teachers at Grace Pointe CDC. I am so excited to start working again and Colton will be right down the hall! We have truly been blessed!

May and June

Wow... May and June flew by. I can't believe how fast they went by. We are adjusting well to life with a three year old an infant. Reed adores his brother and is so glad to have him home. Colton had his 2 month check up and he is growing like a little weed. He weighed 11 lbs 3.9 ozs and was 23 inches long. We did have a rough May though. We had a phase of sickness travel through the house. Reed had bronchitis and at the exact same time Colton ended up having strep! Carl was under the weather as well. It was a rough couple of weeks! June was much better and we didn't have sickness wreaking any havoc but it seems like it was a fairly busy month!
