He's still growing away. Yesterday was Scott's "2-month" check-up. He's now 14lbs 11oz and 24". He rather did NOT enjoy the immunizations, but otherwise didn't mind the doctor's office. I was very pleased with the doctor we met yesterday and certainly hope we'll get to see him again.
Cullen has been busy with work, though we got a special treat yesterday when he came early with tickets to the Wachovia Championship. Neither of us like golf- but it was nice to walk around and spend time together.
That hardly covers half of it... but Scott is finished with being at the library!

Speed Post
We're visiting Cullen's office today, so I'm taking advantage of an internet opportunity. Cullen's parents are in town and wanted to see what he does. Maybe someday I'll finally get the 3 projects in PA straight... I always get confused which is which.
This past week was a good one for us, Cullen only traveled one night. Next week will be very chaotic on the other hand... we're all traveling with Cullen to Charleston for a conference Monday to Wednesday, then Cullen will be flying out to PA on Wednesday shortly after we get home. He'll be home Friday night and hopefully we'll have a very restful weekend. The busyness at work is starting to wear on him and he's been rather exhausted lately. We went to bed at the same time as Scott on Thursday. I'm hoping it will pass as the PA projects all pass their peaks.
Scott is growing fast. It's hard to believe he's over 2 months old now. He's starting to want to do things a lot more and that seems to be frustrating him some. I think his hair is getting a bit thicker, though a couple of people have mentioned they think it's thinner... who knows. This past week we got to have some friends from church over for an afternoon. Maddie is almost 3 months older than Scott, so it was interesting to let them "play" together. They laid on a blanket and stared at each other... well Scott stared at Maddie and smiled like crazy at her. Maddie mostly tried to turn away, but when she did face him she grabbed his arm. Julie and I said they were holding hands. It was cute. Maddie obviously has quite a bit more large motor control than Scott does, since she's a bit older.
I'm donig good. Feeling better after I had an infection a couple of weeks ago and another rather painful nursing problem last week. I also managed to get back to running this week. Jogging strollers are a pain in the arms/shoulders. (Yes, Scott is still too young to run... but I wedged his head with a towel, so he was fine and rather enjoyed the ride.)
Well... time to get going as I think the tour is over.

One-Handed
Long time, no post. And of course today Scott has decided to try to be awake at the library, so I only have one hand... slows things down a bit.
We have had several good visits with various out of town family over the past few weeks. It's been fun "meeting" everyone, but I think Scott and I are both glad to be back to just us. On the other hand we wouldn't mind if the Daddy man didn't have to travel so much. At least this week he'll be home in the am- tomorrow. Yeah.
Scott is still growing fast. It's fun to watch him everyday as he's so observant- always watching. He also likes to talk and is fun to listen to. He gets a little fussy now and then and like every baby he loves being to me and being held. He also doesn't like to fall asleep, but once he does he's a great sleeper.
Tomorrow morning I go in for my 6-week appt. Which means that I will be "allowed" to exercise again. We'll see how long it takes me to get back into running... I do have a really nice jogging stroller!
Cullen is 27 now. I like to say he's 2 years older than me now. Haha. He had a good birthday. Enjoyed a meal at Outback and Hot Fudge Sundae cake later in the week. He's planning to get a new tent with his birthday money. We can't wait to take Scott camping - though we'll probably buy us a pack of disposable diapers for that adventure... hopefully sometime in May or June. Anyway, Cullen is traveling a lot for work now. We're looking forward to late April, because we'll get to go with him to Charleston! He has his performance review tomorrow, so we're hoping for good things out of that...
Patience is the same... but we're not sure that's good enough. :(

Last Day at Duke
The end is in sight... very close sight. I'm actually just waiting for my supervisor to get out of a meeting to sign something. Then I'll be meeting with HR and turning in my badge to security and leaving Catawba forever. I wonder what next week will be like. I signed up to bring a dish for Wednesday night dinner at church, since I'll be home rather than racing from work to home to let Patience out and feed her and back to church.
We are about ready for Leapfrog to get here too. Ready- can you ever really be ready for a new baby? At any rate, the carseat is in the van, the hospital bags are packed, and the anticipation is building. (Hm, guess I still need to type up instructions for the doggy sitter, but at least if I forget I can just call them or have Cullen call them and fill them in.)
Cullen is still busy at work. Looks like there might be a conference in Charleston that we'll all be able to travel with him for in April. He's working hard trying to keep all his work organized enough for his coworkers to be able to pick it up when he's out for a week starting any day now.
Earlier this month we enjoyed a visit from Jessica, while she was job-hunting. Or maybe job-thinking is a better way to describe. She is in our prayers now as she tries to figure out where to go from here after graduating in December. During her stay, she did note several times how annoying it is that we don't have internet at our house. I'm sure job-hunting would be somewhat easier if we did have internet, but I'm glad we don't have such ready access to the www from home. Now to see if I can keep saying that next week. It will be interesting to note if my posts get more frequent or less frequent as I am forced to go to the library to use the internet and as I start my new job as a SAHM.
Onward to outprocessing world...

Family Journal
There are different kinds of online journals. At least that's what I've read in a friends journal and I think she's right. Some people use them for political purposes, others to share the Gospel, others for random thoughts, and a few people actually use them as a journal. I have a blog that I use for random thoughts, if you want to you can read there I'll add a link. It's the journal thing that has my attention right now though.
Over the past year I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to read about the happenings in the lives of family and friends through their journals. Plus, I think it's a good thing to record memories like that and for some reason I can type faster than I can write by hand. So, I'm starting this journal to share the happenings in the life of our growing family and for myself when I want to walk down memory lane in a few months, or even years. I'll try and keep it updated, but we'll see how that goes after I don't have daily access to the internet anymore.
Lately, the current happenings in the life of our family have revolved around the bathroom. We are renovating the guest bathroom. Yay for no more green! My dad has been in town since last Thursday to help out and my brother came by some over the weekend too, so between Dad, Mike and Cullen they've made a lot of progress. There is plenty left to do, but I think the most miserable parts (besides the finishing touches) are done. Meaning, all the green fixtures have been removed and the new *white* tub is in place. We'll see how much more we can get done before Dad leaves on Saturday morning.
Leapfrog is doing well, kicking and moving around more and getting stronger. Dad got to feel some kicks on Tuesday night and Cullen feels them probably everyday now. I'm feeling good, most of the time... except when I do too much. I know- I never do too much!
Work is going reasonably well for both of us. My work has been more interesting and a bit busier lately, which helps me to enjoy it some. Cullen has been very busy. He's got a meetings in Raleigh today and might be traveling to Denver before Thanksgiving. He still enjoys his job and is excited that he is getting to work on some elderly living projects lately.
Patience is still going... she's actually had a very good week. We finally had to start keeping her in the kitchen when we aren't home and she's accepted it quite well. And she's still very loud. Leapfrog doesn't seem to care though. I've heard of some babies who will startle from the sound of dogs barking, even in utero, but this baby doesn't seem to mind at all.
