Santa

just a few pics. when we were waiting for santa and when we finally saw him

doc visit

well went to the doctors today for my 1 month check up. everything went well. i finally ended up gaining weight back. only 4 pounds which is what i want to start gaining. just happy i did not lose anymore weight than i did. i had lost a total of 11 pounds until now. so i am very happy to get the good news. the heart was in the 154's which makes it hard for me to guess what i will be having. the month before the heart rate was in the 163's so we will just have to wait to see what the baby is when he or she is born. because i will not be finding out during the pregnancy this time around. but other than that everything is well......

great news in the copeland home

well, yesterday we got the for sure, that mike (my hubby) got a job with secret service. and we will be moving to Washington DC. we applied for this job back in Feb. and he had to go Thur so many different things to be able to get the job, but what took the longest was the background check. which is normal. but he will be leaving to start everything next week. i am so happy for him because this is a great job for him. and for the family. he will be training down in Brunswick for 11 weeks then be going to DC for the rest of his training which is also where his job is so we wont have to move any where else. but for me i don't know if i am moving around march when his training finishes down here or wait until after the baby is born, which would be around June.... so this is very hard for me but in a good way. it think. learning a new place is going to be fun but scary at the same time. and up for the challenge.... but leaving mom , dad, Phillip will be one of the hardest things because the kids love them so much. but just because we will be learning in a different state here soon does not mean anything will change, because no matter what the kids will know their mama, papa, and unlce Phillip. and i will try as much as i can to come down to visit. since i don't work it will be easier hopefully....... i am doing to be home sick for a while i know that and will miss everything , but this is something that will be great for the family, and we can not pass it up...... thank you everyone that has beared with me thru all of this. i will always need and love you with all my heart....

Happy Birthday Dad/ Papa!!!!

pumpkin boy

alexander at first did not want to put his hands in the pumpkin but he ended up coming around and play with the pumpkin stuff.

this and that

alexander is talking to mama on the phone, well more so just pushing buttons on her.....

i showed her that she can use the walking toy to help her walk around the house. and off she went. she was getting mad everytime she ran into something and could not go any more. but when she fell she picked herself right back up all by herself and off she went again. she keeps this up she will be walking to dad when he gets home.

little li girl and papa

well mom sent dad some pictures of the kids and dad made this one of Lilly girl. in her little bubble at the top it says, " i said i am going a whack you in the toes if you don't tell me where my papa is lady." how cute is that. he uses this picture as his background for his computer while he is over there. just like last time he was there he had a picture of Alex. he loves these kids just as those babies love him. what a great papa he is.

lilly girl crawling better now.

lilly is crawling better now but still commando crawls, and she is also pulling herself up onto her feet. when she holds onto the couch. i am so proud of her. she is doing good all around. and alex is being a almost 2 year old.lol... getting into everything and learning new things everyday. i am proud of him.

her own way of crawling

Lilly girl is crawling her own way now. she is a commando crawler. she gets around good though. it just looks like it is so much work. but as long as she is happy that is fine with me.. she may even go from that to walking. who knows. i am so proud of her. she definitely has her own way of doing things.
