After my 9/11 remembrance, I also want to do a blog updating on the regular happenings of our lives.
Zach and I celebrated our birthdays a few days ago. Zach turned 28 on the 7th and the next day I turned 29. Pete, thought it'd be funny to make a joke, asking me how it felt to be 30. Ha ha brother...you think you're funny. We didn't really do anything special. I got Zach a new GPS for work.
My gift was a piano. We had been planning on getting one, but decided to spend a little more on one and it'd be part of my anniversary and birthday gifts. So, I am so happy with my piano! If you saw the one I used to have, you'd appreciate this one so much more too! It's beautiful and I LOVE playing!
A few weeks ago I decided that because Lylah had learned how to climb out of her crib, I would take the rail off and transition her to a big girl bed. I did not have very high expectations because she usually wasn't very consistent with bedtime. Some nights in her crib she'd go right to sleep; Other nights she'd cry and climb out to go get into mommy and daddy's bed. But, I decided that if she was going to get out of bed, I'd rather her not do so by climbing over the rail of her crib. So... night one I take the rail off and put her to bed, tucking her in and walking out. She stayed in bed and went right to sleep! Not once since then have I had any problems getting her to go to bed! No crying- no wanting to get in my bed- no getting up. (knocking on wood I don't jinx myself here!) The most she'll do is tell me she has to go potty, and wants to make sure she has her cup and bunny, Jazzy. She's growing up so fast and talking more and more every day. (She gets her love of talking from her mommy!) 
Oh- and here is a picture of her wearing her new favorite PJ's her Mamaw bought for her. And... lastly... I'm sure you've been wondering what on earth could I possibly have to say about cantaloupes?! Well- it's silly, but then again, I'm silly- so there you go! My neighbor brought over a home-grown cantaloupe for us yesterday. She didn't mean to grow cantaloupes- she was composting into her rose garden, and had mixed in cantaloupe seeds, not expecting them to actually grow. Well, here's the result:
The cantaloupe on the left side of the picture is one I just bought at the store. The HUGE volleyball sized one on the right is from my neighbor! I just wanted to share my amazement!
Some other quick updates:
Carter is still liking Kindergarten so far. They're just reviewing things now, but will start reading homework soon. He doesn't really have much to say about it, but I'm learning that's a guy thing. I guess I was hoping he'd have my detail telling skills- guess not. lol
Nathan is making progress in speech class. He goes every Monday for 30 mins. Right now he's working on correcting his beginning 'K' and hard 'C' words. He uses a 't' sound instead. He loves practicing saying them correctly because his speech teacher gave him cherry and grape flavored tongue depressors to practice holding his tongue down with! I've been working on teaching Lylah her colors. She's learned red- well- the word red anyway! To her, everything is red right now- whether it's a tomato or a cucumber- she says it's red!
Anyway! That's all the update for now. I need go get to learning time! But, before I forget... for those of you that received this update through your email: I have this program automatically send you an email notification whenever I update this blog. If you'd rather not receive this email and you just want to check the blog on your own when you get a chance, let me know and I'll remove your email from this setting. (no hard feelings) If you didn't receive an email update and would like to, let me know and I'll add you. =)
