Intro to the "zoo"

After receiving a link from our friend's the Tillis' to their blog, we decided to start ours. Jeff and I had been talking about starting one for awhile and their blog gave us inspiration, so thank you Michelle. This is a great way of keeping our families and friends caught up.

If you are reading this, chances are you know all of the following, but here it goes. Jeff and I have been married for a little over 3 years. In that 3 years a lot has happened. Short version: Jeff and I had our daughter Reese in July of 2006 and our son Will in November of 2007. Jeff took a job with Pinnacle Airlines in April of 2007 and is flying jets (his dream) out of Atlanta. I still work as a RN at Kennestone and Cobb Children's ER on an as needed basis.

Reese is our precious 22 month old. She is all-girl, big on the drama with a huge personality. We have known all of this since the day she was born. She tests us every day, but she also makes us laugh hysterically every day too. We are potty-training right now. Good times.

Will is almost 6 months old and an easy baby. It did not start out that way. The first four months were rough with long nights of not sleeping, constant reflux, and non-st0p crying. Will, Jeff and myself were dependent on the Fisher-Price swing to get any sleep at all. Luckily, at four months he started sleeping all night. Will is so happy now and interested in the world around him, particularly his big sister.

Jeff and I are endlessly working on our house and yard while trying to wrangle our "monsters."
We are exhausted at the end of the day after taking care of those two, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Jeff and I find ourselves worn down so often, but we remind each other that we are so lucky to have each other and 2 beautiful, healthy children.
