Visitors

The month of October is going to be a busy one for us! Work for me is going to be slammed, which is great, Darrell is keeping busy his job and Easton is keeping both of us busy at home. He literally never stops going...even while he sleeps. Good thing he is cute! We also have some family coming to visit.

In 2 weeks we have Grandma and Grandpa Springer coming to visit and 3 weeks after that we have Aunt Nicolette, Uncle Jon and Emmerson coming for Halloween.

We cannot wait. We are going to try to coordinate the kids costumes so they match. Who knows what they will be? We are hoping to go to Octoberfest, visit the Pumpkin Patch and maybe go to Cheekwood and see the Scarecrow exhibit.

I always say this, but afterward, I will post some pictures. That is my new year resolution, ha.

"Surprise" or Not!

For those of you blog followers, friends and family, some of you may or may not know this, but in the Spring, Easton is going to have a sibling. Surprise! We are very excited and are happy to share the news with you if you do not already know.
We know that it may be difficult at first with two tiny tots, but we are very optimistic that things we be will great and they will good buddies!

I know that this is super late, but better late than never!

Cheekwood

So today, Easton started his new school, Cheekwood Child Development. I called to check on him and he is doing great. He is playing well, loved the playground, ate a great lunch and took a long nap. Good job buddy! They even said that he has a new BFF. I was so worried about how he would adjust and come to find out, he is such a big boy that he doesn't even need mom or dad to worry about him. It sounded like they were surprised at how well he was doing too. It has been a couple of weeks of Easton playing alone and not at school, that I bet he was just happy to have some friends to play with. I would say let's hope this continues, but I know it will. He loves being around other children, my little social bug.

Do we ever stop going?

Sometimes I feel that we never stop going and life passes by so quickly. Sometimes I think about how my life was so different before kids. Not necessarily a bad different, just changed or modified. When we moved to Nashville, it happened so quickly that before we really got settled in the apartment and our jobs, things were already changing. We bought our house, which is great, but next time we will do a little more planning and research. Then 3 months later we got married and moved into our house. 8 months later we were pregnant and 10 months later we had a beautiful baby boy. Now 1 year later, I wonder, where did the time go? So many good things have happened along with so many challenges. Every day I wonder how much more we can be stretched. And believe it or not, we are very bendy. It definitely surprises me, both mentally and physically. Having children is challenging and no one can ever really tell you the degree of difficulty that you will have.
Despite having said that, things are great! We love where we are in life and can't wait to see what comes next.

Birthday Party

On Sunday we had a birthday party for Easton. We celebrated with our family and a few friends. It was nice and quiet but Easton loved every minute of it.
I will post a pic from his birthday with him LOVING the cake. Let's just say he slept very well that night. He was such a good boy and got tons gifts. Thank you to everyone!

Almost "1"

In one week, Easton will be "1". I cannot believe it. Time has gone by so fast and there is so much that has happened.
Family will be here soon. Grandma Cindy will be here tomorrow and the rest of the family will be here Thursday. Yay! That is super exciting. We always seem to get a break when family comes in town....thanks!
Sad to say that Jon, Nicolette and Emmerson and Sarah and Ian will not be able to make it. We will miss them but will have to send them pictures.
So happy to say that we are going to Chattanooga for a night. Just the two of us, no babies allowed! It is just for one night but we are excited. I would be lying if I said that I am a little sad to leave Easton. He will be with Grandma Cindy but I have never left him alone. It will be fine!
