What's happin' with the Morris-Seales family?

Here are a few pictures of Meredith eating her first Funnel Cake last week at the KY State Fair.

Ok what could this mean?? It came from Becky so I at first thought it was for Meredith to wear. But the note inside the package said: "Roses are Red , Violets are Blue , Your baby sister is going to be a mommie just like YOU!!!" That's right Becky is pregnant YYYYIIIIPPPPEEEEE a playmate for Meredith! What a great surprise!!! The baby is due on April 9th one day before Becky's birthday, maybe she can hold out for a few more hours and they can share the same birthday. Apparently Becky thinks she is having a boy according to some Chinese ring test or something, I don't know. I think she should find out what she is having so we can start shopping, but she doesn't want to know PPPOOOHHH!!! I think the suspense will finally get to her and she will find out.

The call finally came, I have been waiting for this call for 3 weeks now. But being a new company there were a lot of details that had to be ironed out before they could offically hire new employees. I'm very excited about my new job, even though it is a lot like the current one I have. Plus they have tuition reimburstment so I can finish up my MBA without having to pay for it, YIIPPEE Plus we are looking into purchasing another vehicle. So anyone that has recommendations please post a comment. I'm looking at possible a Mini Van or Mid size sedan. Anyone own a Kia Sedona?

Here are a couple of pictures from Meredith's weekend at the family farm. Meredith and Papaw mowing grass. Meredith loves her piano. ALL SMILES!!

That's the question I've been asking myself the past couple of days. It is hard to believe that we brought Meredith home 3 months ago, man how time flies. So you may be asking what's new with the Seales family. Well, I went back to work in the office full time on July 4th, it sucks by the way, I never knew how nice it was to work in my PJ's. Todd is gearing up for his busy season, State Fair, Quartet Convention, Rodeo, & Farm Machinery Show. Busy busy busy, oh well we like the paycheck he brings home. Meredith started going to the daycare last week and it has been challenging, but each day is getting better. She hasn't cried when we dropped her off the last few days. She is now crawling and boy o boy can she MOVE! She can also pull herself up to stand, so we know it will only be a matter of time before she is off and running. She can say dada, mama, dora, pizza, who is it, and dog. Well that's all I have for now, it's almost time to quit for the day. I p...

Day two went pretty good. She didn't cry when Todd dropped her off, but when she saw me there to pick her up she started crying. Not sure if she just realized we were gone or that she didn't want to leave? She also came home on day 2 with a cold. I aggravated Todd all night counting the times Meredith sneezed. I got up to 25 and quit. I don't know if Meredith had sneezed 25 times since we brought her home. Needless to say the sleep was in limited supply that night because her nose was stuffy and she couldn't breath when she laid down. Day 3 Meredith got up with a nose running like a faucet. We were afraid that they wouldn't let her stay if they saw she was sick, but they did. I handed her off to Ms. Liz and she cried and reached for me. But as soon as I walked away she was fine. I picked her up during nap time and she was the only one not napping. She still couldn't breath out of her nose when she laid down. We got home and took some medicine and she w...

Today was Meredith's first day at daycare. Todd and I both went to drop her off and as soon as we got to her room Ms. Liz took her and Meredith turned to me and Todd and gave us the cheesy face, as to say you can leave now. That was 7:45 am. Todd and I headed off to work just waiting for our cell phones to ring being the daycare telling us to come and get her. But as we wait the call never came. I finally couldn't wait any longer and at 9:53am I called to check on her. The director said that she hadn't cried at all and she ran to the room to look in on her and she just started crying because someone took her block. At 1:00pm I leave work so that I can pick up Meredith sparing her from a full day her first day. I got to the daycare and Meredith is asleep on her cot. Ms. Liz asked me to come back at 2 because that is when nap time is over. So off I head to the house to load the dishwasher and eat some lunch. At 2:00pm I returned and there she sat all smiles and ready for snac...

This past week was the Taylor County Fair, my home town. Saturday night was the Miss & Mr Toddler pageant. Aunt Becky, great aunt Lib, and I have been running all over Louisville, E-town, and Bowling Green looking for an outfit to wear. We finally decided on a very cute capri outfit and off we went to the pageant. Meredith was contestant #10, even though we didn't win we still had a great time, beside she is our little princess anyway! Mom are you sure this bow matches my outfit? Aunt Becky is it our turn yet? Meredith scoping out the competition. Uncle Brian are you ready to go to the Reds game?

Holly took this picture a few weeks ago when we went to the zoo. I've also added a new slide show with some of our recent pictures.

This past weekend was very busy. Meredith had 2 parties this weekend, one in Campbellsville and one here in Louisville. Here are a few pictures: Hey everyone welcome to my birthday party!!! Mamaw are you sure that cake is just for me? I'm not sure this is how a lady is supposed to eat cake? Mom said it was OK we can even make the same face!!!! Uh Oh here comes daddy I better eat fast!!! I bet you can't play the piano and maracas at the same time. Is there something you wanted mom, I'm practicing on my piano. Giddy up zebra!!!!

Yiippee today is Meredith's 1st birthday. A lot of people say the first year goes so fast, but for us it went extremely slow. All the waiting seemed to make time stand still. HAPPY BIRTHDAY baby girl, we love you.

Yeah I know that's a silly title, but I didn't know what else to name it. As many if not all of you know June in the Seales house is BIRTHDAY month. We all celebrate our birthdays in June, mine was the 9th, Todd's is tomorrow the 13th, and Meredith's is next week on the 21st. So we just party all month. For my birthday Todd and I spent the day doing whatever "I" wanted to do hehehehe. After we met Meredith's chauffeur we headed to Huber's Orchard to pick Strawberries. We had a fun time, we love going to Hubers to pick Strawberries, Apples, and Peaches!!! After we left the orchard we went to Caesars Riverboat and played the one armed bandit for a little while. Don't worry I only lost $8. We were more interested in eating the buffet, but it wasn't as good as it was in the past, so that was kind of a dud. Later that night we went to the movies to see Shrek the Third, that is one funny movie. As my birthday was coming to an end we decided that we...

Meredith and I went to the Zoo today with Holly and Brooke. We had a great time. Meredith seemed to really enjoy looking at the animals. This trip was much better than our first trip on "Earth Day" there were far less people to navigate around today. Here are a few pictures from today. WOW Mom look at that Tiger!!!! Mom did you see that BIG TURTLE?????? WOW we get to see the baby Elephant finally!!! Mom do we really have to leave???

We decided to try Sunday School again today. The last time we tried to go, Meredith got up with a 102 fever. But today she was great. We signed her in, took our pager and "parent sticker" (it's a 2 part sticker that has a number on it, we wear one half and Meredith wears the other half on her back, no one can pick up Meredith without the other half). We hung around her room for a few minutes and after we saw that she was content playing we slipped out. Apparently she never missed us, the ladies in the nursery said she didn't cry one time, WHHHOOHHOOOO!!!!! When it was time to pick her up we went back to her room and there she was just a scooting around on the floor and when she saw us she gave us that big cheese. Here are a couple of pictures, one is before we left and she was ready to go, and the other one is after, I'd say she had a good time playing with the others, she is pooped out! Before Sunday School, anxious to go. After Sunday School, oh I played to much...

Here are a few pictues from this weekend. Meredith and I went to Campbellsville Saturday evening and got home last night. We had a very nice weekend. We went to the park and played on the swings for a while and had lots of visitors while we were there. We also had an "Open House" at Grandma Seales house on Saturday afternoon, so it has been a full weekend.

We put the bed up on Saturday and that night after rocking Meredith to sleep we laid her down in her new bed. All was well for exactly 1 hour. She slept and didn't make a sound. But at 11 pm she woke up screaming and Todd laid with his had on the bed for the next few hours. Around 4 am Meredith sat up in the bed screaming her head off and for good reason. I went to pick her up and she was burning up. I ran for the thermometer and sure enough she had a big fever, 102. Off I head for the baby Tylenol, (now here's just a thought, if a DR recommends that you give an infant Tylenol, why in the world does every bottle of medication say under 24 months consult a doctor?) Anyway back to the story. I read on the bottle of Tylenol (not the one I bought in Guatemala, trying to figure out Spanish at 4 am didn't go so well.) and we gave her a small dose and it worked almost instantly. What a relief. We kept a check on the fever for the rest of the day Sunday and it would spike up every ...
