KISSING and PACKING!

KISSING
I just had to share how Memphis gives kisses right now cause it is too cute. I will say, "Can you give Mommy a kiss?" and then he will place his finger on my cheek and make a kissing sound. Not really a kiss but sure creative.

PACKING

We have been busy packing to move into our new house tomorrow. Memphis sure loves the

mazes of boxes in our house and especially loves the empty ones to play in. I have been trying to get Memphis to help me pack and put things in the boxes but ya right! All he wants to do is take the stuff out!

THE TINIEST TOUCH:)

I was sitting on the couch today CRYING because I was stressing about everything going on (strep throat, school musical performances all week, packing to move sat, sick baby, being pregnant, 1,000 health papers to grade...)


Well, Memphis came over, climbed into my lap, said "Momma" and then with his tiny little finger he WIPED AWAY MY TEARS.  The TINIEST TOUCH cures all even if it is just for a MOMENT it is a moment to REMEMBER.  I love you Memphis!!!

BABY #2 and NEW HOME!!!

Just had my first Dr. appointment for baby #2.   Expected arrival date is Sept 12.  Bad planning on my part with my teaching job but oh well we are excited:)  The baby is already measuring a week bigger so maybe it will come early like Memphis.

Had our home inspection on Monday and it went really well.  There were no major concerns and the home inspector says it looks like a great house:)  That made us feel better about our decision and we will probably be moving in on Feb 27!!!  Now to packing...

ONE YEAR CHECK-UP!

Memphis had his well-baby check-up on Monday and he is one healthy little boy.  He now weighs 23 lbs. which actually is average for his age and he is 31 1/2 in. tall which is above-average.  He may be tall but he got the short Royer legs (yes I blame his dad:) so he wears a size smaller in pants than his shirts.  The doctor cleared him to eat anything now so we let him try fish and peanut butter yesterday and he LOVES them!!!  He has had a rough couple of days and nights because he got some new shots but he is just getting smarter and cuter everyday!  I am trying to wean him off the bottle and I thought it would be easy like the binky but no.  It is harder than I thought.  Any ideas?  Here Memphis is riding his first four-wheeler-all by himself:)

We got the call today that everything with the house we were under contract with is ready to go so we are getting the inspection done and hopefully it clears and we can move in the 27th of this month!!!  Can't wait!

I am busy with teaching and finishing the final touches on our school musical "Willy Wonka."  It is a lot of work and I hope the kids get into gear so we are ready for performances at the end of this month.

Danny had his last church basketball game tonight before the tournament.  He is also going to start working every Fri in Price.  I am sure Memphis will miss hanging out with his daddy all day but it is what is needed at this time to pay off Danny's kidney stone emergency room bills and his new tool box.

I find out on Tue what the due date for our baby is going to be so I will update you soon:)

Miss our families!!!
