An Update On Our Crazy Lives

Things have been a little crazy around here, hence the 7+ weeks without posting a blog. Emily has started classes again, taking 9 credits this semester. She contacted all of her professors before the semester began and let them all know of our special circumstances with her being pregnant. All of the professors seem willing to work with Emily once the baby arrives in a month or so. Emily is trying hard to get as much done as possible before the baby arrives, all while I am working about 45 hours a week between the two jobs. We are going to have a lot of help once the baby comes as Emily's mom has volunteered to come for two weeks (of which Emily's dad will come for a few days as well). Then a few days later my parents will be coming for 5 days to help out, as well as celebrate Halloween, my birthday, and another Gator victory over Georgia.
Here is a little taste of what life has been like for us over the past month or so.

Here is Emily at 7 months pregnant. Beautiful as always.
Our good friends, the Hills, had their first baby about 8 weeks ago. Emily watches her twice a week while they are both in class. Here is some precious video of Cole and Honey Cate.


Another one of Cole's buddies is Samuel, who is about 10 months older than him. Here they are enjoying a nice, summer day in the pool.


Cole is a kid who just does better when he gets his naps in. On one particular day, he didn't take any nap at all. Here is the result:


Samuel and Cole have decided to start a band. They aren't very good, but it is a constructive activity that keeps them out of trouble.

We still need to post some pics and videos of when Emily's family came to town in July, as well as some pics from our adventurous camping trip. We'll get those up next time we have a spare minute.

We would also like to share our excitement in knowing that Cole and baby girl are going to be getting a new cousin in April! My little, baby sister Colleen is expecting! Congrats Chris & Colleen! Woo Hoooo!!!
