First Post 2009

Well...this is my very first post. I have just started back to school after two weeks of Christmas break. I forget how much I hate school until I start back and become extremely stressed out. Also, Mike just left yesterday to head back to school so I'm with the kids for the next 15 weeks except for the 8 weekends he's going to come home. He's gone to lineman school in Trenton, GA. I'm so excited for him because this is the job that he has been wanting to get since we have been married. Layne is 3 1/2 now and he is getting smarter by the minute. Emma Kate just turned one January 3rd and she is started to walk better each day. Tonight she walked from one side of the living room to the other. Layne has been "Peter Parker" for the past two weeks, and for those of you who don't know who that is, it is Spiderman when he's not in costume. And then we have Spiderman also, when Layne tears his shirt off that he wears over his costume.
Our friends Jana and Joey had their baby last Friday Jan. 2nd. I was so excited, but I was hoping she could have been born on Emma Kate's birthday, but I'll settle for 364 days apart instead. Her name is Kinsley Michelle Short and she is absolutely adorable. Deep down I hope that her and Layne end up together, I would be super excited, but I'm not going to push it.
