Happy Birthday Part 2

2 years ago today, I became a mommy thanks to Charlee Kate. We are truly blessed that God chose us to be her parents. She is such a blessing! Even the two year old, "I do it" stages, hitting because things are not quite going her way (this happens when she doesn't feel good for some reason), frustration in communication, and the millions of sweet things that melt my heart! She loves to communicate, talk to me, and remembers everything. Her hair is finally starting to grow more and she lets me pull it up. Yay! We are truly blessed to have that baby girl in our lives and I can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays! Happy Birthday Precious Girl!


Well I think I finally have my Charlee Kate back to normal. She ran a fever for a couple of days, but then she just wasn't herself! It has taken several days, but I have that sweet girl back! I was so afraid she was whining and hitting at school, but they assured me she was super sweet and it was like she had been in preschool all of her life. I really thought my child was going to go in and be the shy child or the one who sits back and takes it all in. Apparently, she gets right there in the middle of it all and wants all the attention. Kind of funny because not what I expected at all. Monday was a very hard day for her at preschool because I don't think she felt quite right and she just wanted her mommy. Tuesday was much better, morning was tough for a few minutes, but got better. Wednesday, morning was still rough, but the girl that works for me has a little girl in the same class and she walked in after me, then reported that CK was already playing and having fun before I was even out of the door. That makes for much better days for mommy too when I know my baby girl is happy. She must learn lots of cute songs and dances there because she comes home singing and dancing and I know it is not made up because she repeats the same thing and same movements together. Now my little priss pot loves to sing and dance so I bet she just "eats up her music class". Boy what I would GIVE to be a fly on the wall. I may have to be sometime. Her absolute favorite songs are the ABC's and Jesus Loves me. I need to record it and put it on her. My favorite part is the end of Jesus Loves me when she says "Oh Bible Tells me so". I love it!

Other than that, everything is going great and we are totally getting settled in. We don't get out of the bubble during the week but I have everything I need right here. No need to get out, it is nice and convenient. We are very much looking forward to the upcoming weekend. We are going to Charlotte to see K&K and the kids. Charlee Kate has been calling Ella and Hunter's name long enough. It is time she gets to see her cousins! Kelly and I try to get the girls together somewhat around their birthdays too so this will be a great time for that. We have tons of fun things planned so I am sure the short amount of time will fly by! Of course, I am sooo sooo sooo excited that Bama football starts this weekend. FINALLY!!! I think I have been telling Jeremy I was ready since March. Now it is finally here so the fall weather can come anyday. I will welcome it for sure!


So that is what is happening in our house. Basically ROUTINE, but settling into many, thousands, tons, and lots of new things over the last several months has taken time, but it feels good to almost be settled!!! Settled is much more than having the house in order. That is the easy part. It is getting to know the neighbors, the feel for all the places I LOVE to go (which I already knew lots) then NEED to go (doctors, cleaners, groomers, vet, etc...), new school for me and CK, new places for Jeremy with work, new adjustments, and the list goes on. Those are the things that take time but that time has come and each day gets better! Now... ready for a nice long exciting weekend!!
