Cooper almost 8 months old

Cooper has been such a blessing to our family! I know that I was in disbelief for quite some time that I was even pregnant, but after he got here, I really got to see God's gifts and His timing.

Cooper has been sleeping through the night since 6 weeks old. He is growing like a weed and eating us out of house and home. This time around I am making my own baby food, and he is enjoying it. His favorite? Spinach.

December 2011

So my blogging days dwindled....how did that happen? Maybe adding Cooper Leyden to the mix....or new flooring throughout the house....maybe it was the need for all new appliances in the house, going back to work....I know work always gets the blame, but when you really want to stay home with your kids, it gets the blame.

What ever it was, it was never meant to let more than a year go by and not make a post.




Lets see 2011 was a Wonderful year!
January, February and March were spent teaching my class that almost did me in. Literally. I never got to teach last year, the students really struggled with listening, following directions, keeping hands to themselves and not bringing GUNS to school...yes you read that right, guns...anyways I survived and on March 30th we welcomed Cooper Leyden into the world. Now it was not the easiest labor story, but we survived and he is perfect. Love him dearly!

I got to stay home from work from March until August, and it was wonderful. We did get new flooring and then all the appliances went out. Thankfully my parents moved back to this area and we were able to stay at their house and use their refridgerator!

We are all excited for Christmas to be here in just a few weeks....we are also looking forward to getting the house back to normal without all of the decorations.
