Once Upon a Blog....

Well we decided to take the plunge and enter into the Blogging World. Since I'm not on any other social networking site I decided this would be the best way for our friends to see recent pictures and see what we've been up to...especially since I live a four hour drive from some of my closest friends. Also, being home a lot this summer I'm going to try to take more pictures of our growing girls.

Summers are when I really appreciate what a great job I have. I coach tennis at Georgia Southern University. Its a great set up. I'm basically on the job when school is in session, but when the students are off I kinda am too. On my down time I go recruiting and try to find players for the next year. Its a never ending cycle but it does make for more flexible hours. I'm so blessed to have a job where I can spend so much time with Kate and Caroline. Caroline was born in December, during Christmas break, which was nice, but I really never took any time off to be with her. I was about start up our spring tennis season so I was traveling alot and up at GSU every day. Now that its summer I can finally catch my breath and feel like I'm not in a rat race...well at least not quite as much..

Kate turned 2 in March and she is such a fireball. She is very observant and keeps me on my toes...even when I don't think she is listening or watching I find out that she really was...She repeats the funniest things and seems to be really "with it" for a two year old. She can do all kinds of things that just amaze me every day. I can carry on a real conversation with her, she can dress herself, she can say many words in spanish and even count in spanish..not to mention English. She has been able to say her alphabet for months now and even can tell you who our President is and what purpose our Military serves! She seems to know what everything is from household items to electric work being done on the side of the road...we don't know where she gets all of her information.

Caroline has been the sweetest, most easygoing baby. She smiles constantly and her days revolve around watching Kate and jumping in her jumping swing. At first I thought she and Kate looked a lot like, now she has developed her own little look...well, I say her own look but its her Daddys look!

Here is a recent picture of Eric and I with Kate and Caroline.
