Not a "PREEMIE" anymore!

Daddy and Kazer @ the Woodland Art Fair

On our first golf outing as a family....

Sometimes he really likes being on his tummy...this was one of those days:)

Checking out one of his favorite entertainment pieces in the house....the ceiling fan

Church'n it up

When people say "babies grow fast" they are talking specifically about my child! Mr. Kaz is large and in charge these days. He is a whopping 14 lbs. and hasn't even reached the 4 month mark. We have had a wonderful summer together and although there has been many hoops to jump through I can honestly say I have enjoyed every second. (Yes, even the nights when I had absolutely ZERO sleep because his monitor was going off non-stop).

We have really been enjoying Kazer the past couple of weeks with the entertainment of his coos and giggles. He is smiling always and even on-command. He also seems to enjoy receiving and giving kisses...opening his mouth as wide as possible:)

With school in full swing, I am (as every mommy) afraid of missing out on the "big milestones" while I'm at work. The pictures from Miss Jess (Kaz's keeper:) keep me going through the day and we are so thankful to have been fortunate enough to have such a patient, loving lady keeping our little man.

I am looking forward to the next few months coming up...I love the holiday season! Family, food, and fun are in store for us and I'm so excited that we get Kaz to enjoy it with us. As always, everyday, I thank God that he loved us so much to give us such a wonderful blessing, our son.

Hanging with his Uncle Logan....

and getting some love from Grandpa Clay.....

Leaving "Stay-at-home mom" status

This week begins my first official days back at work since having Mr. Kaz. The thought of it all is very bittersweet. For 1 - I love being a mommy and to be separated from my son will be very hard. However, I do look forward to a little normalcy and sticking to a more consistent schedule as well as meeting all my new students at RSMS. Whoever labeled the job of "Stay-at-home mom" as "easy" got it ALL wrong. It is by far the hardest job that I have ever been assigned. That being said, I admire you all who take on the challenge daily. Preston and I are fortunate enough to have a friend keep Kaz in our home through the week once I'm back in the swing of things. This makes our jobs as working parents much easier getting to keep him at home base and with someone we are very comfortable. This summer by far tops the charts as my "Most memorable summer"! It is amazing to look back just 3 months ago and think of how far Kaz has come. We continue to be thankful for every blessing and yearn to serve such an amazing God.
