Splish Splash


The second attempt with the baby pool went really well! Channing was having a good ol' time splashing around. Here's some pictures of our sweet boy!


Thankful

Some of you know this, but for the newbies...here's a little background. Gary got laid off his job in August 2008, when I was 6 months pregnant. At first it was a little like a well deserved vacation to be home...then days turned into weeks, weeks turned months, and he got tired of being "stuck" at home. He looked everywhere he could for a job but was getting no bites. I took 8 weeks of maternity leave after Channing was born, and it was great with Channing & me at home with him during the day. We had some fun times together! When I went back to work at the end of January, Gary became a stay at home dad. He has enjoyed being home with Channing, but I could just tell that he really wanted to be at work. I think it's just a man's state of mind...they feel like they need to be the provider. After 9 months of being out of work, he finally got a job last week! Woohoo! Gary has been in such a wonderful mood the past week and a half since starting work...his spirits have been lifted! Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers as he was looking for a job!

New tooth!


Aunts are the best!

It's been a while since I could get on the computer to post...sorry! We went to Grandmommy's house on Sunday, May 24 to cookout for Memorial Day and had a great time...despite the rain that came that afternoon. Meredith and Adam bought Channing a baby pool that is super cute! We tried to see if he'd like the lake water but it was too cold. Meredith brought some warm water down in a bucket and filled up the baby pool but he didn't want to sit in there either. Shannon ended up getting in the pool with him...it was hilarious! Aunts are the best!
