Well, it's been awhile, mostly because I forget about this until someone reminds me. I've started selling Creative Memories, Chris goes TDY to England later this week for two weeks, Mimi has started talking-finally! Andrew has learned that he can get where he wants if he rolls, so he rolls everywhere! He received his first self-inflicted "owie" by rolling head-first into the entertainment center. I'm not able to load pictures on this right now, java doesn't like my internet browser. I do however, have all the latest pictures up on myspace, facebook & photobucket. Photobucket has mostly cell phone pictures, though. I'm going to start downloading pictures from the computer onto my photobucket site tonight, because it takes it FOREVER. Anyway, the information for the websites above is as follows:

myspace- www.myspace.com/crazysouthernblonde

facebook- Look for me as Sarah Morey in the Honolulu, Hi network. There's a picture of Mimi instead of me.

photobucket- My username is mrssarahmorey. You can look it up by people, it's the last option in the search engine.

Love to all!

Here are some of our newest pictures. Enjoy, and of course, more are on Facebook and Myspace!

April

April was a fun month for us. Andrew can now roll over from back to tummy, either direction, though he seems to favour his left side. He hates getting buckled into his carseat, and has to be in the mood to enjoy the ride. He has already outgrown his newborn clothing and his 0-3 months is getting snug. 3 months seems to fit right, though. Thankfully.

Emileigh can say "manatee", "gutter" and said two phrases this past week "Be quiet, Andrew" (he was crying in his car seat and evidently she was tired of it) and "Wear watch" (she saw her watch in her dresser and wanted to wear it) Her two favourite movies are Sleeping Beauty and Little Mermaid. She now has a Little Mermaid nightgown and jacket...and we have to sneak them into the wash. She has been such a big help with Andrew (most of the time). She loves to burp him, hold him, carry him around (with help!), change his diaper and rock his carseat when he's fussy. Emileigh was sick twice this morning, so we're skipping church. 

We've decided to fly into Texas this summer and spend a weekend at Schlitterbahn. We'll probably only be on the mainland for a week, maybe a little more. We can do the entire trip for around $1300. We're also talking about doing a cruise this winter. If nobody wants to go with us, then we'll do a Disney cruise; we think Emileigh would enjoy that more so than a regular cruise. We found a regular cruise for $419 a person, $180 for both kids. We'll see. It's a 7-night cruise of the Mexican Riveria. Anyway, that's all we know for now!

Updates

Andrew hits a month tomorrow, and is still alive! Yea! Joking aside, he's turning over, from his back to his tummy, both directions. He started, as of last night (and I've tested it several times today!) returning smiles. No longer are they from gas! He has such a pretty smile. He weighs 10 lbs, 3 oz (that is 1 lb 4 oz gain from his birth weight) and is just over 22 inches long. He starts sleeping in his own bed (hopefully) Sunday night. I'm scared, I'll admit it. Emileigh can say over 100 words, though she chooses not to, much to her parents' dismay. And frustration. Extreme frustration. She still thinks she's a cavegirl. *sigh* Beyond that, her favourite book is "I'll Love You Forever" a very good book. I always cry at the end. But, I highly recommend it, especially if you have children of your own. Favourite TV shows are still Little Einsteins and Dora the Explorer. She loves to talk on the phone to her Nonnie and "help" take care of her baby brother. She's become quite proficient at burping him, even though it seems to disgust her. She'll be 19 months old at the end of this month, and the child is (finally!) close to 18 months in her clothing. The doctors are still threatening to call CPS on us because her weight is so low (but it follows the curve...she's just not 50% or higher) but she eats like a horse. I'm guessing she has mine and my father's metabolism. Her favourite movie is a toss-up between Heroes (The Incredibles) and Princess (Sleeping Beauty)...and she says those words. Chris' TDY to England was canceled for this month (I'm grateful) and rescheduled for August. He was disappointed, but is now looking forward to the Summer. He MAY possibly be able to test for Staff (E-5) this year, but most likely it will be next May. If he DOES test this year, I don't think he'll pass. He didn't have a lot of study time...nor inclination, even now. *rolls eyes* 3 1/2 years together and I still don't follow his thinking.

"Nadroo"

Emileigh surprised us all this evening after our trip to the park by going up to my mother (Nonnie) and asking to see "Nadroo". This is the first time she's said his name, or at least, as far as we know. She has since said it several different times tonight. She also started saying her name when you ask her what her's is. She refers to herself as Mimi. Do I have cute kids, or what?

New Addition

On Wednesday, 18Mar09, at 1745 in the evening, Sarah gave birth via C-Section to our first son. Charles Andrew Stockton Morey weighs in at 8 lbs 15 oz, 19.5 inches with the fattest cheeks that we've ever seen. The doctor delivering him called him a "Chunky Monkey" before she even had him out. He has all his fingers and all his toes and every other body part necessary for a boy. Here are some pictures; hope ya'll enjoy them.

The Moreys

P.s. Even though Emileigh cried the first time she saw him, she's very possessive and loving on him now.
