We Survived


We all made it through my first week back to work (ok, it's not a full week but still) and Cole's first week in "school". I could not have made it without God carrying me through each day. Donny had to deal with a very emotional wife. He did a great job giving me lots of support. I'm not sure I've ever cried so much in my life. This week was by far the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. Cole seemed to adjust pretty easily, but by Thursday, he was ready for a day with just him and mommy (I was too). He loves his new teachers. He gives them smiles each morning when I drop him off (and doesn't even look at me). On his first day of school he scratched his cheek but that was the only battle scar he came out with for the whole week. On his second day of school they had school pictures. I was told he was a real ham. He likes having his picture taken. And on the third day of school they had a fire drill. This scared him (and all the other babies) half to death. Needless to say, he was crying when I picked him up from school that day. I can be very thankful that I only have to work Tuesday through Thursday. Cole and I get to have Mommy & Me time on Mondays and Fridays. Thank you Lord! I couldn't take much more time away from him. I just love Cole so much. He's my bud. Well, Cole and I are off to go early vote and do some grocery shopping. Chao.

First visit at PawPaw & Nanny's House


We went to visit with PawPaw and Nanny this weekend. Cole was such a good boy and soaked up all of the attention. Cole fished off the deck with Daddy and PawPaw. I guess they will have to wait for spring or summer to catch that "big one".


Cole also got to drive the boat (ok not really but he looks so cute behind the wheel.....minus the pink life vest....we're going to have to work on that.)

He enjoyed the fresh air and great conversation on the deck with Nanny.



With all the new things to experience he had his first real laugh this weekend when Donny was playing itsy-bitsy-spider with him. So cute. Cole lights up my heart with his smiles.

Hangin' Out with Teddy


Since it has been so nasty outside the past couple of days, Cole and I are getting our inside chores behind us. Cole sat on his big boy bed (a twin bed in his room that he will get to sleep in when he out grows his crib) and talked to me while I folded and put away his laundry. He was sitting there just taking in all in. I don't think he realized that he has so many teddy bears (six to be exact). I just thought he was so cute sitting there. He is such a joy to be with all day. Oh how I love this little boy.

Working Hard or Hardly Working?


Cole and I (and April) had a very busy day today. Cole started off his day by having tummy time with April. She is a great coach and is an expert at being on her tummy. I thought the two of them made quite the team. :)



After Cole's morning workout we had some time to talk before getting the rest of our day started. Each morning we talk about what we're going to be doing for the day. He is a little chatter box. I love talking with him; he holds a great conversation.


After lunch we decided to tackle our over-grown, weed infested flower bed. Cole was a very encouraging "Supervisor". While he sat under the shade of our oak tree and kicked his heels up, he let me know I was doing a great job and even pointed out any weeds I may have missed. With a couple more hours of work (and Daddy's help) we should have the task completed.

First Day in CBC Nursery

Cole went to the nursery at church yesterday for the very first time. I was so nervous but he did great. He didn't even miss me. (I was kind of sad about that.) The care givers were grandparent-esque so it was right up his alley. He got rocked, held, and got to ride in the swing. He is such a good boy; I just thought I'd brag on him a bit.

Valentine's Day Lunch



Today Cole and I met with Marianne, Jasmine and Anne for lunch at La'Madaline. It was so much fun. Jasmine showed up Hollywood style in the dress Cole gave her for Valentine's Day and her matching sun glasses. Such a cute little girl.

Our Valentine





Happy Valentine's Day!!!



We have the best little Valentine ever (a.k.a. The Cuteness).
We love him more and more everyday. We thought we'd share him with you.



Love to all.

Donny and Jody
