So, I'm going to try to quickly update you guys on our happenings over the last month. As I stated in my last post, the boys and I got moved back to Georgia. While we're excited, it's harder than I anticipated to be without my sweet, sweet hubby. After only two weeks of him being gone, we headed up for two weeks to visit. We also got him moved to another apartment, and we brought the love of his life, Shelby home with us.
Shelby has adjusted quite well to life on the farm. She visits the pond at least twice a day and swims after Miles, our goose. He is none too pleased and he honks his disapproval, but that doesn't seem to phase her. Though it just cracks me up that when our catfish swim around her feet, she freaks out and heads back to shore! She also sticks her head under the water constantly. (Think Old Yeller in the water hole with Arlice when he catches the fish). She comes up sputtering and gasping for air and then goes back under again. It's become a great source of entertainment for us.
Let's see, oh, also, as I mentioned before, we're having a baby. "The baby" is it's name for now as we don't yet know if it's a boy or girl. When people hear that we have two boys, they say "Oh, are you hoping for a girl this time?" And honestly, I really wouldn't mind either. As I've said before, a girl would be nice, but I know how to do boys now! I know what to expect with my guys, a girl would totally throw me for a loop. Oh, and for the record, Joey and I have made a bet, he's betting on a girl, and I'm leaning towards a boy. So, we'll see who is right. Boy or girl, we're excited!
Both the boys started school the last week of August. Bae is in first grade and Brek started Pre-K. Though, Brek says he should be in first grade too since he's "smart too!" Ahh, the constant competition that is all things brothers! Both of them are doing really well and though it's always a challenge getting Bae up and going in the morning, he's pleasant by the time we've made our way out to our schoolhouse. He got his daddy's sleep habits and let's just say he's NOT a morning person. Brek on the other hand is up no later than 7:00 am usually and he's "starving" for breakfast.
We've signed both the boys up for flag football this year. They'll be playing for the Hilliard YMCA. I was wondering if it would be as hilarious as soccer was to watch, and now that we're in our second week of practice I can tell you. . . IT IS!! Yesterday at practice, they were playing three on three. The coach was letting each kid have a turn running the ball. So, Bae went first and scored a touchdown, (he later told me there was no way they could've caught him since he's "the fastest guy on the team". No self-confidence problems there.) Then, each of the other boys took a turn, and finally it was time for Brek to run the ball. The other boys would get the ball and run down the sidelines to the endzone, but not Brek. Nope. He took it right up the middle. He's about a head shorter than the next smallest kid on the team, so it's pretty hilarious to watch him running as fast as he can down the field with everyone else making a mad dash for his flags. But, surprisingly, Brek won out and made it to the endzone, scoring his first touchdown. All I could think was how Joey would be so proud. Brek jumped up and down and wooped a few times, then he threw the ball to the ground and screamed, "I scored a touchdown. . . . and now I'm doing the hula!" That's right. The star football player is shaking his hips just like a cute hawaiian hula girl, moving his arms and everything. At that moment, I thought, I'm glad Joey's not here to see this!
