Update on the Girls


The baby princess is growing so fast. I can't believe she's almost 12 weeks old. She's still sleeping like a champ, although I find myself reaching over to pop the pacifier in her mouth several times a night. But at least I don't have to get up to feed her! Presley's favorite activities include smiling, "talking," and "playing" on the floor with her toys. She's so close to rolling over!

Reagan is gearing up for a big change in her little life--the start of preschool. She has learned her teachers' names (Miss Roshawna and Miss Christy), and we've bought all her supplies. We found out her "boyfriend" Curry is in her class, so at least she'll have a friend from the start. Reagan has also learned her phone number. It will be fun to see what she learns in preschool.

Scott is making a big change too--starting a new job after 13 years at Thomas Nelson. He'll be at CHD Meridian, a health care company, doing about the same stuff he does now. The pay is better, but mostly he was just ready for a change. I'm sure the first few weeks will be busy, but I'm hoping it will be a good move for him.

I'm finally back to work, doing a writing project and a few proofing projects here and there. It's kinda tough to fit them in right now, but I'm hoping it will get easier once Reagan starts preschool. I do think it takes me longer to do things than it once did. Concentrating on work seems more challenging. I guess I still have hormone brain. Or maybe it's just that I have more to think about now.

Update for August '06

The last few weeks have flown by, with Presley growing so fast! Reagan is a great big sister. She loves to make Presley smile and wants to hold her constantly.

Reagan starts preschool next week. We visited her class and met her new teachers, Miss Roshawna and Miss Christy. (And Reagan has actually learned both their names.) Reagan's "boyfriend" Curry is in her class, too. It will be interesting to see how she adjusts to the structure of a classroom setting.

Reagan has learned her phone number. Her mind is like a little sponge these days. And she always seems to hear and repeat exactly the thing you hoped she would miss. I can't wait to see what she learns in preschool.

We're looking into dance class for our little tippy-toe walker. She seems like she would be a natural.
