My poor dear blog, I seem to have neglected you over the past couple of weeks. No more! I have much to update!!So, here goes...
Since my last post so much has happened. Sara and Travis welcomed their new bundle of joy Carson on December 17th at 0443. Now mind you she was due to go in for induction that morning at 0500. So to keep it from getting into too many details we got a call at 4 from them saying its time and we are on our way. Now for some reason, I couldn't tell you why, but felt the need to get up, dressed, and freshened up.so then just as I got ready I got a call from Travis and they were going straight to the hospital. Needless to say that precious baby boy arrived just before I got there! So I scooped Cash up after a short visit and we were off for a day of fun!I am so happy I got to be apart of their special day!
So...in other news we had Charlie's Grandma and Grandpa Trisler in town for Christmas. Charlie had so much fun and did pretty good with the Christmas gifts! He was more interested in playing with the tissue paper but loved playing with all the new toys! So after a fun filled Christmas we relaxed and had some good friends over for dinner and drinks. Funny thing happened that night, I got so tired I literally passed out on the couch for about an hour and woke up with a ton of energy. Silly me, I didn't think anything of it until the next day I was on the computer while everyone was taking a nap and it dawned on me! I thought to myself "OMG I think I am pregnant!" I felt the exact same way that I felt with Charlie. So I went to the bathroom and took a test. Before I could even set it down it was positive! I got goosebumps all over! I wanted to scream so loud! I managed to keep my composure and call Sean (he was working at the Jaguars game) and have him bring home more tests. I said to him "Are you ready for some crazy news?" lol he reluctantly said "Okay" and I told him; "I'm pregnant!" It was quiet on the other end and he said "are you sure, how many tests did you take?" LOL We just don't seem to trust HPTs. Needless to say, 4 tests later we accepted it and are SOOO excited!! I had labs to follow it up today too.
In other news today, Charlie has been tugging at his left ear and not eating a bottle well over the past week so I took him in to get check. Poor guy, turns out mommy's instinct was right! He has an ear infection and we got some antibiotics. Thank goodness for drugs, the good ones!!
After a week filled with spoiling we are getting back to normal around here. I don't have the pics on this computer so I will do a photo catch up tomorrow!
Until then, sleep well my fellow bloggers!

Thoughts of the night...
I am truly amazed how fast time seems to be passing lately. By lately I mean over the past 5 years. I swear my excuse for a life before was stuck in molasses and never going anywhere. The times I wanted to fly would drag and drag and drag, only to get on the fast track once I found true happiness, meaning and fulfilment in my life. A small price to pay, I suppose. I love my life now, I just wish it would slow down a bit, or maybe I should slow down! :0)
Charlie, my sweet and helpless little angel is no longer a helpless little angel. Still an angel but has become Mr. Independent and 'don't hold me, I want to get into everything I am not supposed to.' I love that little boy so much I could cry tears of joy! I remember when I had Charlie and my friend told me she was going to have a baby and saying "Can you believe he is going to be almost nine months old when I have my baby?" Looking at Charlie I just giggled and said "No, I cannot." (I was still stuck in 'the new parent, is this what the rest of my life is going to consist of?, phase) Well, that time has come and Charlie is just over 8 months old and we are anxiously waiting on pins and needles for the exciting phone call!
With all the joyful things happening around us lately I can't help but think about my mother and how this Christmas makes 9 years that I will spend it motherless. I miss her so much it really does hurt and has forever left an emptiness in my heart. I have been blessed with so much and I am grateful but I miss her and I always get sad around this time. This year however, there is one amazing and exciting HUGE difference, I am a mother! Yes, this is Charlie's very first Christmas (outside of the womb) and we are unbelievably excited!
I never understood or could even come close to comprehending what it was like to be a mother. It really does change you. Too bad we weren't still in Maine when we had Charlie, what an awesome place to raise a child. If you get a chance to do it go for it, I promise you wont regret it. There is just something about a smaller more tight knit town that you can leave your car doors unlocked and go for a walk in the woods alone with your infant and feel completely at ease. Not to mention all the kid friendly attractions and events offered in small areas, definitely something I would go for!
Speaking of going for, we are going to be moving again in the Summer of 2012. Which, most of you know what that means......yep - you guessed it! It's time to start looking at PCS (permanent change of station, for those who don't know) orders. Now we always said we would go back to Fort Worth but now that we have a kid we look at the options completely different! Especially since we might be retiring at the next place. I can't believe Sean has been in almost 20 years! So anyway, do we go back to the fun and familiar area with our good and dear friends or do we chose a small town area that we know Charlie is going to have a good raising within the school system and be closely watched? So many decisions to make and only so many chances to jump on that decision....
Any who.....that is whats on my mind tonight!
Here is a quick photo catch up!
