First off, we made an unexpected trip to IN last week. We were home wed-sat. We went home to cheer up Nana... my mom's brother had recently had a stroke (he's ok now) but at the time they really didn't know if he was going to make it and two or three days later, Johnathon left for Australia. I felt like I needed to be there for my mom while going through this rough time so we packed up and went home. (She would have done the same thing for me - and actually did this past Feb)
We had fun at home. Copeland got to ride the tractor with Papa, we got to see friends and family, we ate at all of our favorite restaurants, and we just hung out!
The friday we were home, (7/24) we went to Fat Boys to get some ice cream. It was supposed to be a quick stop because we had been out at the family lake and we were sweaty and dirty, but we ended up staying longer than planeed. Well we were getting ready to leave and Copeland hit his mouth on a chair and it chipped his tooth!!! I was so upset.... It's not terrible, but it's noticable (i'll post a pic)
We have also gotten rid of Copeland's pacifier aka te'te' or tey tey (sp??) that's what he called it, and it's french so who knows :) We had been wanting to get rid of it for a while, and I even tried the first of this year, but it just wasn't working so I came up with the idea of telling him we left it in IN!! It worked!! He will ask for it a couple tims a day and I just tell him it's at Nana and Papa's in IN and he's just smiles, and he threw one fit because of it, but he has done great!! He goes to sleep fine at night and at nap... we are finally rid of that darn thing!! YAY!!!
Copeland can also, open the fridge, open the house doors, climb on the bar and turn on the sink in the kitchen, ride his bike like crazy (seriously, he's good. i'll try to get a vido), climb in his carseat himslef, turn on the water hose, likes swimming in the "big pool" ( on base there is a big pool and a baby pool) and push a bar stool to any part of the counter or cabibet to get whatever he wants... he is keep us very busy! :) I am sure there is so much more that I am forgetting, those are just a few of the crazy things he does right now.
On another note, Beau and I are both in school!!! Beau started taking classes this week too! We had to buy another computer because we are both taking online classes and we both need the computer at night. It's pretty funny to see us sitting in bed with our computers on our laps typing away lol.
And last but not least, I wanted to give a little update on my bro. He's doing great and enjoying himself. He has started a blog and you can follow his journey at johnboyd9.blogspot.com Just remember to keep him in your prayers as he is serving. He has alreaday experienced a lot in just two weeks. I'm so proud of him!!
Here are some pics, enjoy and God bless!
