The New Year

A new year has come and things are going well so far. Copeland is growing each day and it is so awesome to see how much he is learning. He says a new word everyday it seems like. He is also very good about making sure you know what he likes and dislikes. Right now he is in a very lovey mood so whatever you do for him you get a big kiss for it. I'll enjoy that for a little while longer before he decides that not the "cool" thing to do.

I have started back to school and am already somewhat overwhelmed by all there is to do and get done in such a little time. Four books to read in 8 weeks, and that's only one of my two classes for now. It's amazing how you can find time to read when you have to. I never seem to have time to read just for pleasure. I will say the first book for my class is an easy read in that I don't' have to stop and think about what I've read. Now the other three I'm not sure that will be the case. I just keep thinking 12 more months and this master's program will be complete! Luckily I have a wonderful friend that I am working with on the Capstone and we get along really well.

Adam is doing good. Doing little jobs here and there. I know that a big job is waiting out there for him somewhere, we just have to be patient. He's been busy around the house working outside, painting our bathroom, and now is currently working on getting the garage painted. I have to go and pick out a color for Copeland's bathroom so he can do that next. After that the whole house will look new with all the pretty paint!

The day after Christmas our hard drive went out in our computer so I have not downloaded any pictures for a while. I was so made at my self at first because I had only put the pictures until August 1st on CD's. The rest of the pictures, including Copeland's 1st birthday were on our old computer. My mom suggested I take a look at the Kodak website to see if my pictures were saved on there. I hadn't gone there before and didn't think anything about my albums that I send out were actually stored somewhere. All of Copeland's birthday photos are on there and all the albums I have sent since then are on there too. I know there are more that I won't get back, but if I sent them out then most likely those are ones I really liked. Below you will find some pictures that were taken recently.

Playing Wii like daddy!

Mommy and Daddy took me to this cool new place called Imaginations at Play. I think it would be really neat if I could have my birthday party there this year!

Having fun in my cousin Melody's playhouse!

Look at what Santa brought me! A new wagon. (By the way I eat in this thing, watch tv, take a stroll around the house when it's cold, and if mom would let me I would sleep in it too!)

Oh yeah, and Santa also gave me these cool new shades in my stocking!

I love to eat the big carrots just like a bunny rabbit!
