So much has happened since the last blog that I posted. I will begin with the kids. We just celebrated Luke's 3rd birthday this past Saturday. We had a small party at McDonald's with mainly family. It was fabulous because I didn't have to do anything but show up and enjoy watching Luke having fun at his party. I cannot believe my little boy is 3 years old. Time flies too quickly. I just found out today that he needs to have his tonsils removed. He had tubes put in last year, so hopefully after all of this he will feel better. He is alot of fun these days!
Carman turns 1 on April 1st. She is "Miss Personality" these days. She keeps a beautiful smile on her face all the time (by the way her top 4 teeth are coming in). She loves to say bye bye and wave while doing so. Her vocabulary also includes: momma, dada, quack quack and squeeeaaallllll!!! She is standing and taking a few steps. She wants so badly to keep up with her brother. Another update on Carman is.... She loves food! Don't try to eat around her and not share, because she will let you know what she thinks about that. I also found out today that she needs to get tubes in her ears due to consistent ear infections (so much for breastfeeding). She is an absolute joy to have around.
Our family just returned from Walt Disney World during the week of March 15th. We went with mom, John and his family and Joy and her family. We stayed at the Bonnet Creek resort on Disney property and it was very nice. We went down on Thursday and returned on Sunday, so it was a short trip, but so worth it. Luke absolutely LOVED it. At first he was a little overwhelmed all there was to see. It was pretty hard to get him off of the Buzz Lightyear ride. Everyday since we have returned Luke says "Mommy, I want to go back to Disneyworld". After working at Disney for the summer, I loved Disney. After going back to Disney as a guest, I loved it even more. After going to Disney with my children, there is nothing better!!
On to Christian, he is continuing to do well in graduate school. (Mr. Disappointed when he gets a 99) He stays busy with working full time, school at night plus his calling at church. I am very proud of him! He also got a new Toyota Tundra truck. We all love it!
As for me, I just got a teaching instructor position at East Carolina University. In August of this year, I will be teaching "Fundamentals of Management" on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I feel so blessed to get this job because I have always wanted to do this and it will allow me to be at home with the kids for the majority of the week. Plus I love ECU!! I am continuing to work part time at the day care until I start in August.
