And so we enter the World of Blogging

Hey family and friends. I am new to this whole blogging thing, but I'm gonna give it a shot. I follow so many other people's blogs, so I figure...why not join them! I thought that this would be an easy way for everyone to keep up with The White Family. My hope and expectation would be to update this weekly to keep everyone up-to-date. We'll see what happens!

So...let's get started then. What is going on now? What isn't going on?! Life seems more hectic and busy than ever. I guess that comes with having a child! I can only imagine how busy and hectic things may be with more than one child, school, homework, hobbies, athletic activities, etc...makes me tired just thinking about it. I haven't been up to anything interesting lately. Still working night shift on the weekends (waiting to get off that shift to go to day shift). And as many of you know, I stay home with my little stinky man during the week. Ohhh...I did just start painting and decorating Little Morris' bathroom...it is sooo cute. I'll post pictures on here when I finish it completely and when I figure out how to post pictures ;) Morris is still working at Palmetto Paint Specialties (with dad and Tommy) and he works part-time at the Country Club of Charleston. He's been busy too with work and being a daddy...and my "honey-do" lists seem to keep him busy as well. And now for the one that everyone is most interested in hearing about...Tank Man! Little Morris is in Florida right now with his grandparents visiting with MG's (Morris' mom) sister Lydia. I miss him like CRAZY. They left on Friday and will be home on Tuesday. I knew going into it that I would miss him...and probably cry at some point...but I didn't know that as soon as they pulled away that I would burst into tears sobbing hysterically! Morris must have thought that I lost a limb by the way that I was sobbing into the phone with him! I know that he is safe and will be well taken care of...and VERY SPOILED...but just knowing that he is sooo far away breaks my heart. I miss his little sweet hugs and kisses, his chubby little legs and cheeks, his sweet voice that calls "mamamamama" and our cuddle time! I keep reminding myself that this is good. He needs time away from mommy, as much as I hate it, so that he can learn to trust and be around others more. He is definitely a "momma's boy." And for those of you who don't have the priviledge (LOL) of seeing him often, let me tell you a little something about him! He is VERY busy! Sometimes I am exhausted and wonder how he is still going! He is a typical boy...he has a new cut, bump, scrap, bruise everytime you turn around. He likes bugs (ewww he must get that from his daddy) and I understand that we will be adopting a new member to our family...a yucky, icky grasshopper that Lydia is sending home with him from Florida. Apparently he has taken a liking to this bug and carries it around with him (in it's jar of course). Little Morris loves to be outside. He LOVES the water. It can be the beach, pool, sprinkler, bathtub...you name it, if it is wet...he loves it! If it makes a MESS...he loves it! He likes to climb over/under everything. He often gets stuck in places, like behind the headboard of my bed or under a bed, because he HAS to crawl/climb behind/under everything. He gets stuck under the cabinets at times as well...so Morris installed some nifty latches to keep him out! He LOVES Little Bit...and often calls for him "Billll Bit!" It is sooo cute. He always shares his food with him too...not always a good thing! He loves books...especially the "How Big is Baby Elmo" book. We must read it at least 3 times a day. I can actually recite the entire book, word for word, without looking! Sometimes when I am trying to get something done...I will start reading it out loud (without the book in front of me) just to entertain him long enough for me to finish something! Obviously, he really likes Elmo as well. But what does he LOVE the most? Ummmm, let me think about that one...he loves his mommy and daddy the most...OF COURSE!

So that is all I really have to update you all on for now. I promise to give this blog a whole hearted chance at survival! :) We'll see how it goes.

And PS - Mandy...this is the week to have baby Lorelei...it would be great if you could go into labor at the begining of the week...since I work weekends. Thanks! Pass that info along to baby Lorelei for me! :)

We Love you all!
