The Newest 'Lil Bulldog Fan

BOO!!!

Happy Halloween 2008!! We went trick-or-treating tonight with some friends from church who invited us to go....thanks Jen and James!!! We had a great time, and the neighborhood we went in was AMAZING!!!!! The people who live in this neighborhood decorate their houses for Halloween more than they do for Christmas.... there were thousands of people trick-or-treating in this one neighborhood. People were parked for miles away and there were cops directing traffic, etc. Tegan had a blast and was so stinkin' cute in her duck costume. Terrel & I were able to take Tegan by herself and spend some quality time with just her....thanks Mom & Dad for keeping Carley. We had a blast and hope you all had a very safe and happy Halloween as well!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!!!

My dad's birthday was October 22. He turned the BIG 50!!! We took him to brunch the day before b/c he was going to be out of town on his actual birthday. When he got back in on Saturday, we had him a small surprise party(pics coming soon). I can't believe he's 50....still looks so young though!! Happy Birthday to a wonderful father and PaPa!!!!

Aquarium with Daddy

We went to the GA Aquarium again..but this time Terrel went too!!! Tegan had an extremely good time again and we were so happy to enjoy a fun day as a family!!! It's so fun to see Tegan's face when she sees something so exciting... it makes us so happy to see her so happy and enjoying herself. We wanted to spend the day and do something fun for Tegan, b/c she was having a little bit of a hard time adjusting to Carley, so we took her to the aquarium. We had a great time and can't wait to go back again!!!

One Month!!

Carley is now a month old. She is getting so big, so fast. Her little legs are really filling out. She is a very good baby, she sleeps really well(thank goodness) :):) Tegan is really loving her, and wants to hold her a lot. This month has gone by really really fast, we've really enjoyed ourselves in Atlanta so far and look forward to being here for a long time. Tegan and Carley keep us on our feet constantly....there's never a dull moment in our house. Tegan's "2's" are really coming out now, but we get through each day---some days easier than others. She is a very sweet big sister and can be a lot of help most of the time. Parenting to 1 is a lot different than parenting to 2, but we wouldn't change it for the world. It is a wonderful blessing to know our Heavenly Father trusts us to be parents, and we are so very grateful that He has given us two healthy beautiful girls to love and teach and be an example to.

Carley Jordan Hood

She's FINALLY here!!! Carley Jordan Hood arrived on 9/25/08 at 3:23 p.m. She weighed 8 lbs. 6 oz and is 20 inches long. She is such a pleasant baby and we are so grateful to have her here!! Tegan loves her and wants to hold her all the time, but doesn't want to give her kisses or anything else.

WE'RE HERE!!!

We are finally moved to Atlanta. We've been here for over a week, but we are finally in our new apartment. We are really excited. We love it so far. We stayed at Morgan's parent's for the first week, which was nice to have that help with Tegan, as Morgan is getting so far along in her pregnancy. Terrel is loving his job as an Outside Sales Rep. He has to get up really early to get to work by 7:30, but it is all worth it. Morgan is stil pregnant....almost 38 weeks.....we hope this baby comes SOON!!! She was able to find a good doctor up here and we are really excited for this new little one to come. Tegan's world has been totally rocked. Her Nana(Morgan's mom) was in JAX for our last week there helping pack up things, etc. Then we all left the same day which was Thursday, Sept 11.. and Terrel, Morgan, & Tegan went to Waycross, GA--where Terrel's fam lives--- and we spent the day there, then left Friday the 12th and came up to Atlanta to stay with Morgan's parents.....Tegan has had lots of granparent loving for the past several weeks, which we wouldn't change for anything. We stayed at Morgan's parents for a week, and then Fri. and Sat. Sept 19 & 20 we moved into our new apartment, which for now is across from where Morgan's parents live(they are in temporary corporate housing---until they find a house to buy). I think poor little Tegan is so confused of where to sleep, who's car to ride in, etc. etc. We've had soo much going on, we are all exhausted, so we're happy to start getting settled in. Just as soon as we get settled, her little world will be rocked again by a new baby. We know she'll be fine, but we just feel bad for her having soo much going on in her little life at such a hard age(2). We miss our friends in Jacksonville, and we hope we can keep in touch with all of you!!! If you want our new address just leave me a comment or email me at morgan_hood@yahoo.com
