December/Christmas 08

Its finally December and Im excited to have our first Christmas at our house. I finally finished up all my shopping since I just found out that Davids brother will be coming in for Christmas and David and his friend will be coming down from VA a little after Christmas. It stinks that David wont be here for Christmas Day but we are just going to go to my familys house and then we will do ours when David comes in. I cant wait to see how much James enjoys opening up presents and spending time with family and friends.

Those are a few pictures of the kids they really enjoyed it. Nathan liked playing with all the tissue paper and trying to rip off the wrapping paper. James loved the his train that his G.G and LP got him and Nathan. He was mad when I told him we had to put it up so that we could take it home and once we got home that him and daddy could set it up. Im glad that David was able to come and spend time with the kids and help them open all the their presents.

Halloween 2008

We have been in our house now for a little over a week and finally got everything put away and just in time for Halloween. James is so excited about going out trick or treating (this will be his first real year). He helped me pick out his costume this year he is going to be batman and Nathan is going to be Tigger. Im really excited bc David gets to be home to help take the kids around the block and my best friend is coming over with her daughter, and my dad is stoping by.

Our First House

After Nathan was born we started house hunting for our first house. I cant believe how many houses we looked at and I cant believe that we finally found a house in the Summerville/Jedburg area and we bought it. It has three bedrooms, a bathroom and an open loft upstairs, the master bedroom down stairs with the living a nice size kitchen, and a nice dining room that will more than likely be turned into the kids play room. Its kinda farther out than I wanted to be but it def was nice I cant wait til we can move in. I have so much that I want to do to it but its going to take alot of time since for a while its only going to be the boys and myself while we wait for david to get orders here. But im going to go now since we are going to do a walk through of the house again and then later this week we will be signing papers and moving our stuff in.

Nathan Edward

My son is here! His name is Nathan Edward he is named after my grandfather that passed away with cancer Edward Wayne(my dads and brother were named after him), my dad, brother, my great grandfather Lee Edward and my husband Davids grandfather Hubert Edward who died while he was in Basic Training(boot camp). He was born on Friday July 28th at 2:35 am and was 20 1/4ins long and weight 6lbs 9oz.

Moved back home

So this weekend I moved back home with my mom since Im 35 weeks pregnant. My husband and I thought that it would be better to have my family close by when I have this baby since he is on shift work. Its going to be hard leaving my husband but he will be down to visit and after I have this baby I can take our two boys and go visit him. I think that it is going to be hard on our two year old son who loves to play with his dad. But hopefully since most of my family is here it will be ok and my son will keep busy and just enjoy the time that he will have with his father when he comes to visit. Im just hoping that I cant deal with it because we have never been apart for a long time the longest time was less than a week. I guess we will just enjoy the time we have together more and make it worth it when he comes to visit.

RIP Papaw
