Connett Chatter

I haven't blogged in a sweet forever! But, this was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up. I had to introduce you to our friend Jeremy.

Jeremy is 32 years old and lives in Bradenton, Florida. He is a teacher and a head basketball coach at a local high school.



I first met Jeremy when Mark and I were dating. Over 10 years ago! He went to high school with Mark and they have stayed great friends. That is mostly on Jeremy's part because Mark is terrible at keeping in touch with friends. But Jeremy has always been great about getting together with us when we are in town visiting.



Family is very important to Jeremy. He is always taking his grandma out to lunch and doing things to help her.  He is great with kids and I know he will make a great dad one day. He is always the first one to play with our kids and lend a helping hand when needed.

Jeremy is a GREAT friend and he has lots of close friends. He is willing to go out of his way for his friends and is a friend you can always count on.  When I asked him what his favorite things to do were his reply was hanging out with friends and family.  I pushed him a little more, "but what do you like to do with them?"  His reply describes him perfectly, "I'm more of a who I am with, then what I am doing."  Those words are so true to Jeremy.  He is a go with the flow and have fun no matter what we are doing kind of guy!

We had a good friend take Kinley's 10 month pictures. It was our first outdoor photo shoot. We had a lot of fun and got some really sweet pictures. Thank you Kayleigh! You did a great job!

Well, we have been pretty busy lately. Last weekend we traveled up to St. Louis to visit our good friends Jamie, Morgan, and J. David Trotter. We had an awesome time while we were there. We couldn't have asked for better weather and we enjoyed some wonderful outdoor activities. Of course, the guys had to play some golf. And while they were golfing Jamie and I took the kids to the St. Louis Zoo. We had a great time and the kids did so good! We also went to the Botanical Garden while we were there. It was so nice and we enjoyed spending time all together. (It is so crazy to think that we have families now! It seems like just yesterday Jamie and I were sitting at a baseball game watching Mark and Morgan play!) On Saturday, Mark traveled over to Indianapolis to do some "work." He had a golf tournament that he had to be at for work. And Kinley and I stayed in St. Louis and enjoyed a few more days with the Trotters. We were sad to leave them and we hate that we live so far away. But, we had a wonderful trip! And we hope to see them again soon. Here are some pictures from our trip. J. David and Kinley were so cute together. We think that they would make a really cute couple!

Sorry that I haven't updated in forever! Here are some of the most recent pictures of Kinley! This week she will be 3 months old! It is so hard to believe! She just gets sweeter and cuter everday!

Sorry that it has been a while since I have added anything to the blog. I still haven't quite gotten used to the idea of writing whats going on and updating it often. Anyway, we have just been trying to get back into the swing of things since we were out of town for such a long time. I took Kinley to the doctor on Monday and everything is going great! She weighed 11lbs. and 6oz. And she was 23 inches long. She is the 75th percentile in height and weight. So, you can see that she is growing like a weed! And she is still sleeping good...(Knock on wood!) Yesterday she slept for 9 hours through the night and I had to wake her up because I had to leave! She is just wonderful! Every morning when you go into to get her, she has the biggest smile on her face. It is the sweetest thing! My grandparents came to visit this week and it was a good thing because I have been having back problems and I can use all the help!! Here are a few pictures I have taken recently. There will be more to come soon, I promise!
