Wow. It's been a while again. I know...as a primarily stay-at-home-mom, you would think that I would be better about posting, but as it turns out these kiddos are busy! :-)
Recently, my friend Caren and I started a playgroup with mothers of two year olds. We meet every other Wednesday at one of the mom's houses and let the kiddos play while the moms have coffee and chat. We have only had 1 meeting so far, and have to miss the meeting this week, but we really look forward to these sessions. It's especially fun to see the kiddos interact and learn to share. It will be a great day out during the upcoming winter months--which tend to get a little long. :-)
Carter continues to crack us up daily with his imagination and catch phrases. He has developed a huge love for football and frequently asks to watch it on tv, asks to watch papa play flag football, and asks to tackle us several times a day. He also has such abounding love for his sister, it's amazing! Every morning he says "Baby skeeze!" followed by "Baby mooch!", which translate into baby squeeze and baby smooch. He has also taken to playing with her on the floor and is quick to bring her toys or rub her back if she's upset. It melts our hearts!
Addy is our little ahead of the curve superstar. She is now crawling and going from her tummy to sitting up like it's nothing! She is very content and will sit and play in her pack 'n play for well over an hour while I work out. She started eating veggies this week and has conquered green beans thus far. She seems to be liking them pretty well. We just have to tackle that pesky getting up several times a night and this mama will be happy. :-)
Chris seems to be living at work in one way or another lately. Poor guy is constantly there for work, chief resident responsibilities, and various meetings. If he's not working, or babysitting while I work, he's moonlighting at a local ER. He works so hard and we are extraordinarily proud of him! He's also well into the "real" job interview process. In September he interviewed at the University of Iowa and may be offered a job. In the beginning of October he interviewed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha and has not received official word, but has gotten some hints that they may offer him a job. This week we trek to Ann Arbor, Michigan for an informal ER interview and an official sports medicine fellowship interview. It should be an interesting trip as it is 7.5 hours one way and we are bringing the kiddos!
Well, that's about all I have for now. My desktop computer is currently at the "dotter" (doctor) according to Carter as I seem to have broken it so I'm not going to post many pictures this time. Sorry...it takes too long on the netbook...and please excuse the upside down picture. It is not upside down in the file and I can't seem to flip it. As soon as I get my computer back I will post some long overdue pics of the brood.
Hugs and loves!
Amy
