New Beginnings

I realize that is has been over a month since updating, but we have had a lot of things going on here, both good and bad. May 27th my grandfather passed away. To me, it seemed so fast. I know he was sick, but I thought we had a few more months. However, I do know that he is happy with God and waiting anxioulsy for all of us.

A couple of weeks after the funeral Jason graduated from The Memphis Police Academy. It was such an exciting time for us and I couldn't be more proud of him. He graduated second in his class and received a leadership award. He has enjoyed every minute being out on the streets of Memphis. I truly feel that this is his calling.

This past weekend Jason and I traveled to New Orleans. My sister is getting married and we threw her an engagement party. It was beautiful!! Kinda surreal that my little sister is getting married, but she's not a kid anymore. She is an amazing woman and I am so glad that she is my sister. As usual growing up we fought a lot. I don't think the 5 year age difference helped either! However, as we have aged she and I have become real close and I cherish our relationship. She is a wonderful godmother to Jay and she will be a wonderful aunt to this new baby. Her fiancee' is pretty great too. He will be a wonderful addition to the family!!

We also spent time in LaPlace this past weekend. Our nephew turned 2 and we were able to see Jimmy, Liz and the kids. It is so awesome to watch Jay and Little Jimmy play together. Jimmy just recently got stationed in LA, so we are looking forward to seeing them more often!

Also this past month Little Jason has made some leaps and bounds!! He is starting to put multiple words together to make sentences. The other day he asked Jason, "where my shoes Daddy?" We were shocked!! I have been working with him this summer on his letters, colors and shapes. He actually told me this morning, "Good job Momma" as I was sweeping the floor!! We are working on his big boy room right now. I hope to get that done before I go back to work in 4 weeks.

Baby C is doing fine also. He/she is doing a lot of moving around and keeping me up at night. I am at the point now that I am not sleeping well at all. I have about 90 days left! Ha! I promise to try and update more. Once we get started on the big boy room I will take pictures and post them!!
