On, on U of K

Warning! Update! Exciting News! James' baby dedication is going to be Oct 28th at the 10:30 service. You need to be there. Also, Adam's deacon ordination is going to be that night on the 28th at either 6 or 7pm. You need to be there too. So, the 28th is going to be an extra exciting day. You know that James will have the perfect outfit for both events!

So, the Cats play tomorrow. Too bad it is only on p-p-v. Oh well. Adam needs to be writing lesson plans anyway. I am trying to finish up last minute details around the house, although I am not really in a bind, I only go back to work for one week and then I am back home for two. Then life really gets wacky. My peeps from eminence gave me a wonderful shower. It was good to see everyone, especially K$. James and I got some good loot, including teething rings, slippers, blocks, a massage (for guess who), hooded towel, walmart card, clothes and the coolests little diaper garbage bag dispenser so that I can put the dirty diapers in something that smells good before I throw them in some unsuspecting person's trash can. James' halloween costume is official, he is going to be a lobster. For those that know, I have a crustacean (spelling) thing so this costume was perfect. You know that there will be lots of pictures and video of that. I am working on getting video clips on the site, I bought the cable from best buy, I just have to have the time to do it. That is it for now.

It is true! We have childcare! Yee-Haw! No, it is not Uncle Rende as pictured, it is a daycare/preschool called Great Beginnings. A friend at church takes her son there and told me they had one spot in their infant room. Adam and I went to see it and really liked it. It is very well organized and has been in operation for 8 years. They moved into their current location b/c they just keep growing. It costs $120/wk, which is standard for Frankfort. So, good news! Adam is being observed by his g-town professor next week. Pray that he can get his lesson plans written and revised. Adam said that she is nice, so even if she doesn't like his lesson plans or what he does, she won't be like the mean man that observed me from g-town. Well, James and I are going to be off later to Eminence for our baby shower. He is looking forward to having a bunch of women oooh and aaah over him. He enjoys it for sure!

Monday Monday

Happy Monday from Kari and James. Actually James is sleeping in his swing right now, giving me a chance to post a new item and possible take a shower. We'll see how long this nap lasts! We are going today to visit Peaks Mill, the school that I worked at two years ago. A special happy birthday goes out to April, whe had a birthday yesterday that we celebrated at o'charleys. James slept thru the party. I am not sure what all James and I are going to do this week, our last week alone together. We do have a baby shower to attend in Eminence, but other than that, who knows. James and I will keep you updated about our adventures of course. BTW, way to go CATS!

yesterday

Yes, yesterday James turned 5 weeks old. He is such an old man! I sent the birth announcement into the paper so it should be appearing sometime. It will be in the Frankfort State Journal. James attended his first soccer game last night. Western Hills, Adam's alma mater, played Woodford Co, Adam's student teaching assignment. We had fun. My Eminence people are throwing us a shower this Wednesday. It will be good to see everyone. I am thinking of going up there early because at the early release the staff is looking at the state test scores from last year. I am sure that no one will mind if the baby is there.

lullaby and goodnight

Sundays are still nap time!

If You Could Only See

More pictures have been added to shutterfly! Another collection has been created. The address is http://hyattfamily2.shutterfly.com . The password is Adam. FYI, shutterfly is a reliable tool to order pictures, so if you like the prints online you can order them and have them mailed to you. Just don't let your dog eat the package. (Rufus) No, he didn't eat the picture package, the ate the birth certificate package. James' birth certificate has a big tooth hole in the middle of it! Oh well. Peace out.

Happy Birthday to James

Well, it is James' one month birthday tomorrow. We are happy to announce that he is "chunking up" as the cardiologist said yesterday. In the month since he was born he has gained over two pounds. You heard me, James now weighs approximately 8 lbs and 10 oz! I knew he would make a comeback. Speaking of cardiologist, many of you know that James was born with a heart murmur or however you spell it. It was examined by ultrasound in the hospital and we were told it was no big deal and would heal itself in a year. Well, when we went to see the cardiologist from UK, he thinks that it is bigger than we have been told, but don't panic. He said that since James is gaining so much weight so quickly, the hole in the heart obviously is not affecting him. We go back in one month for another check-up and then we will go every 6 months for checkups. The cardiologist did think that it would take longer for the hole to close up than we had been told. He thinks it will close by itself when James is in early adolescence. So, the moral of the story is that weight gain can sometimes be very beneficial! Other than that, James and I have been working out. We go walk at the capital, especially since it has been much nicer weather. James has also started to sleep in his crib in his nursery. We have a very nice mobile and waterfall soother that help him relax. On the subject of a sitter, we are still looking. I have some names and places to call this week to ask about openings. Enjoy the pictures. I will be posting another album on shutterfly for all to view soon. BTW, GO CATS! BEAT L-VILLE! Go VOLS!
