A Great Summer

This summer Joey and I have both been very busy at work and little Liam has been very busy at school. We made it to the beach twice and enjoyed a few weekends away as well. Liam moved up to the 1 year old class in mid-August and is enjoying some really cool new classroom toys with his friends. I am amazed that last year this time I couldn't wait to see what Liam looked like as I waddled around feeling whalish. Now I've memorized every sweet crease of him and I'm planning his first birthday party. Liam is taking a few steps, eating anything we give him (including guacamole and hummus), pointing, drinking from a sippy cup, tickling Mommy's toes, and flashing a giant smile wherever he goes. We love this kid! God has blessed us in every way!

Finally...a new post

I don't think very many people read our blog, however I still feel bad for not updating. Since my last post, our Liam has grown into a handsome, busy 6 months old who is working on sitting up on his own and figuring out his voice. He is a wonderful son, and he brings smiles to people's faces wherever we go. 615 Summit is looking good these days! Joey worked very hard over Christmas break to install a new walkway from the driveway to the front porch. We had a new roof put on in late January and we're (mostly Joey) working on some new landscaping, hopefully a victory garden will be going in before summer.

In my last post I wrote about losing my job. I was blessed to find a new job rather quickly and started as the Regional Volunteer Cooridinator for Hospice Care of South Carolina on January 4. I really enjoy my new position and the company I work for is very well organized with well thought out goals and a mission. Coming from Girl Scouts with the ubiquitous after-merger growing pains, it is so refreshing to be where I am. Also, I am free on weekends with the exception of an occassional training, so I am able to spend valuable time with Joey and Liam. When one door closes, God always opens another with new opportunity for the better.

I will post pictures in the next couple of days to appease all of my loyal readers :).
