First Update

Hey ya'll! Now that I have a little time to be on the computer....maybe we could all communicate a little easier:) Well, our lives have become so much fuller over the past few months with the addition of Miss Blakley Kate! She certainly adds excitement to everything we do. Being a mommy is the most rewarding thing in my life. Although tougher at times than I ever thought it would be, it's truly the "easiest" thing I have ever done. Blakley was born on November 4, 2008, which makes her 4 months old. She learned to roll over about two weeks ago, and now we can't keep her from it at the most inoppertune times (diaper changing, etc.)! She has already went to potty on both Mommy and Daddy prior to bath time! It's a lot funnier after the fact:) Her smile is the cutest thing in the world, and when she laughs we can't help but laugh with her. Recently she has discovered her own voice, and everyday while driving home I get to listen to her "sing" to me for 45 minutes or so. On our trips home we talk about our day, about life, about troubles, gossip about people we know, and we even talk about Daddy a lot! In the mornings, we say a prayer together (most of the time she sleeps through this)...and we listen to the radio. Daddy is learning so many new things and actually doing lots of things quite well! Her favorite thing to do with Jas is dance in the kitchen to the radio- and she normally falls to sleep. She has so much spirit and what an Irish temper!!! She is cutting teeth which makes life very, very interesting (LOL) and God has shown me much about the virtue of patience in this process to say the least! All in all, I love every minute of everyday and I wouldn't trade it for anything in this world. God has blessed us in so many ways and we are thankful for our little bundle of joy! We miss all of you and hope to see you very soon!!

Love, Amanda
