Hello all! I decided I would try and give this blogging another try. We'll see if I can keep it up this time. SOOOO much has changed since I last blogged. We obviously found out we were having a boy! Mason Kenneth was born on September 24th at 12:44 pm weighing in at 9 lbs 8oz! Yes, WOW! :-) He has been a BLESSING to our lives and changed every little bit of it. But all for the better. Mason is 6 months now and growing fast....already at 22 lbs. He has been rolling over, cooing a ton, just started sitting up by himself and loves to laugh! He is very entertaining.
I started back to work two weeks ago. I took a contract at HealthSpring to try and help get the IT department staffed up before CIGNA takes over. It has been a blast and other then the really long commute I just love it. Of course my going back to work meant daycare for Mason. I cried the first day I dropped him off....cried hard! Almost all day. When I went to pick him up I did see how much he liked it, and he seems to like it more and more every time he goes. He has definitely warmed up to his teacher Bettie Ann. I think the interaction with other children has been good for Mason. Chad picked him up yesterday and his teacher said he had fun playing with Alerra. When Chad asked about it she said she wasn't sure if they were talking close or open mouth kissing. Lovely! HA! Things have definitely been a little crazy around here trying to adjust to me being back to work, daycare, Chad's travels, etc but I think we are finally getting into a good groove. As two people who were never ones for schedules we are learning quickly that we need to have a good one and stick to it everyday.
We are amazed at how fast our family is growing and so excited to meet a new family member in two weeks. Chad, Mason and I are headed to my cousin's house in Austin for a quick weekend. My cousin Shannon from Hawaii, his wife Fran, and their daughter Sabine are going to be in Austin for the week so we are flying over to visit and meet Sabine. Brandon, Shellie and Collins are making the trip as well. It is going to be so fun to see Bella (4), Brody (3), Collins (21 months), Sabine (8 months) and Mason (6 months) all playing. And the best part is that their Great Grandmother is coming from San Augustine to see them as well. She hasn't had a chance to meet Mason yet so I am really excited. It will definitely be different from our usual cousin gatherings that included staying up late (by choice) and bottles of beer and wine instead of bottles of milk and formula! :-) But we are really, really excited to see everyone!
Okay, hopefully I can keep this post going! I'll post some pictures of Mason over the months as soon as I figure out how. Be back soon! May your days be filled with love and happiness!
XOXO - Courtney
