The Morgan's

Thursday, September 11, 2008

I received one of the best phone calls today. My little brother, Dustin, has been in Iraq for what seems like an eternity, he's missed our grandmom's funeral and our oldest brothers wedding. He called today and he is officially out of Iraq and on his way home. He said that he is Kuwait now and will be leaving on the 14th to come back to the states...

Ann said...: That's exciting news. I'm happy for your family. I think that would be one of the hardest things to have to go through as a family, worrying about a loved one in a war. Glad he is ok and coming home finally!; Sep 12, 2008, 7:48:00 AM

Beckett's Boyisms

A whole entire year since this has been updated A LOT has happened in the last year.

Here are a few of my favorite things:
- He loves to dress himself. He is persistent. And he has his own very unique style. I tried to fight it and make him wear what I wanted him to wear but it was exhausting and frnakly not worth it. Our first 2 months in our new ward he picked out his shoes. 2 lefts. 2 rights. 1 church 1 sneaker....He has worn every combination of everyone of his shoes.
- His favorite movie is his bat-ball movie.
- He loves his snacks, he is basically a bottomless pit, but the first thing in the morning is snack, the first thing when I pick him up...SNACK. He is a snacker.

Sayings:
-Fuit nacks
-Yes Sir
-Baby WoBee

Beckett is officially 2 years old. He is quite the little boy. He has no fear!!! NONE! Unfortunately I can't say the same for myself. He scares the daylight out of me atleast once a day. He loves the word NO. I say love because it is probably he most used word in his vocabulary, second only to mom & dad, maybe. He loves his little sister and is a great big brother.

Monroe

Monroe is 7 weeks old and is growing in leaps and bounds. It is bitter sweet. I am ready for her to be bigger and less fragile. Beckett loves her too hard sometimes and I think we will all be better if she could fend a little better, but it is sad that she is getting so big. She is aware of her surroundings now and will smile when she hears my voice. She makes and holds eye contact and is really starting to develop good conotrol of her head. She is still not sleeping through the night, I hope that is coming soon, but I am not olding my breath....She is A LOT bigger than Beckett was at this age. She is in the 70% for her height and 50% for her weight...10lbs, she's a moose. A really cute moose, but a moose none the less.
