My Babies and Me: Fun in the Sun

We have been travelers the past few weeks. We made a trip to Dallas for PawPaw to go to a seminar. We made a trip to Florida so I could take the media specialist exam. And we made a trip to Grandbury for my sister-in-law Joslin's baby shower. It is good to be home! Both girls did great! I was suprised how well they travel. I hope this continues as they grown up.

Cecelia is still growing like a weed! I cannot believe she will be 2 in less than a month. Her birthday party will be July 10th. If you can come please let me know so I can have enough food. :o) I am amazed everyday at what she knows. She is extremely verbal. She loves to talk. She is also a great big sister. She loves to hold her. She is better at being gentle with Rebekah who she calls "Baby Beck". Cecelia is starting to get into the terrible twos! Her favorite word most days is NO. Normally we don't have too many fits unless she is tired or hungry. Overall though she is a sweet loving little girl.

While we were in Granbury, Cecelia went with my dad, Aaron, and MeeHow (Mr. Howard, Joslin's dad) to an experimental airplane fly-in at the iar strip in their subdivision. She had a blast!!

Rebekah had her 2 month well baby check up today. She is well. :o) She weighed 13 pounds 6.3 ounces and is 22 3/4 inches long. She seems so big but the doctor said she is great. She is in the 89th percentile for her weight and 30th percentile for her height. She had to get 3 shots today. She was a trooper. She cried when they gave them to her but she stopped as soon as I picked her up. She is taking a nap now. Last week we had her cardiology check up. The hole between her top chambers has not closed all of the way and one of her valves is not opening all the way but it is minimal. The cardiologist said that he feels once the hole closes the valve should go ahead and open all the way. We go back in 6 months for a cardiology check up. Rebekah is smiling and cooing at us now. She even laughs some times. She is also sleeping a fairly long stretch at night so I am more rested than I was.

I passed the Florida media specialist exam which takes me one step closer to graduation which is still on track for December. I cannot wait to be done with school! I love it but I am ready to be done. I am applying for school library jobs so I am hoping I can find one. If not I am hoping to get a teaching job.

The girls and I are doing great. I am so blessed to have two wonderful, sweet, beautiful daughters!! They are my greatest joy in life!

Here are a few pictures from the past several weeks.
