| Okay, I'm making the move. Xanga has been having issues, so I am switching. My posts and pics can now be found at www.mikahooper.blogspot.com. Thanks for being interested in our family. Hopefully it will be easier for me to update now. | | |
|     Happy Anniversary to Us! October 9th was our 9 year wedding anniversary. What an accomplishment! To celebrate, Saturday Jerr borrowed Glen's jeep and made me a cd of "driving" music. We drove up Rich Mt. and listened to music. The weather was perfect. We ate at the lodge (without children!!!) and then drove back down as the sun set. The moon and stars were out...it was amazing. For some reason I always thought of romantic as getting dressed up and being fancy. But this was by far the most romantic anniversary so far. Maybe that's just because we have 3 kids now and that changes my perspective. But it sure was nice to have some alone time...even if it was just 2 hours.
So, 9 years, 3 kids, 1 mini van, and 50 pounds later...I am still happy with my best friend. He is the love of my life and spoils me rotten...I wouldn't have it any other way. | | |
| The first week of school is over. Both kids did exceptionally well. We got great teachers, so that helps so much. Both Vivie and Gaven are learning and loving it. Vivie has been pretty tired, but her little body should get back on schedule pretty soon. Eden and I spent the week at home or running errands. I actually got quite a bit done. This week we're launching our business...Tidy Whities' Laundry Service. Hopefully it will be just enough work to help us get ahead in our finances, yet allow me to stay at home with my kidos. Jerr took Gaven to sign up for soccer today. He's been waiting all summer! We can't wait to see him play...he is so fast, now if he can just learn the rules.  | | |
|    So much excitement. Eden was born Thursday, June 19th at 2:58pm. She weighed 8 lbs.even (now she is 7 lbs. 10 oz.), and was 20 inches long. She has a full head of dark hair ( it looks like she has blonde highlights, so I'm sure she'll be a blondy), and beautiful skin. Just like Mary Poppins, she's "practically perfect in every way." It was such an amazing feeling to have Dr. Beckel come in with a big smile on his face to tell us that she was perfectly healthy...not even any jaundice. After having a doctor in Memphis tell us he was concerned about her eyes two weeks ago..it was a big relief. She is such a joy to our whole family. The kids can't get enough time holding her.
One of my favorite Viv sayings...after Eden was born and Viv was holding her for the first time she said "she's so cute...she's so cute...oh, she's so cute..(pause)..Mom, is she cute?" She thought for sure she was, but had to make sure she was right...too funny. I'll try to post more recent pics soon. I'm still trying to adjust to the crazy world of three kids right now. | | |
