Running Our Race

Well...I am not sure what this baby is doing in my belly....but one thing I know is that my reflux has reached all new levels!!! I have reached for this bottle no less than 10 times today. It makes me not even want to eat for fear of the "afterburn"!! In the past day or two, my acid reflux has kicked into overdrive. I now have this precious bottle with me at all times...especially at work!!! Me and my new buddy! Lets hope this can help keep it under control! Here are some pics from Kate's soccer team and her game. She is doing great! On a "Life Lesson Learned" note--Kate tried out for student council this passed week but learned she did not win the votes...Brett and I were so proud of her though! She worked really hard on this poster. She also typed out on the computer her speech that she gave to the class. We couldn't be more proud of her effort! It is a hard lesson to learn - that sometimes things don't "fall" our way. She will bo...

This past weekend Brett and I flew to Houston because I was helping to host my best friend, Claire's, baby shower. She is due on October 31st!!!! We are so excited because we have been best friends since the age of 2 and are 1 day apart in age. So growing up, we have felt more like sisters than friends. We used to call each other the Bo Bo Jack Jack Twins (BBJJT)....so weird I know! We made that up probably around 12 years old because we thought Bo Jackson was super cool. Anyways we still bust it out every so often. Fun! And now, our kids will be super close in age too (2 months). What a blessing! She is having a girl but is keeping the name a secret. I can't wait!.... Here are a couple of pictures from the shower. About 9 of us helped to host so it turned out great. I, of course, left my camera with my sweet husband so these pictures are from Christine (hostess who had the shower at her house). She had the perfect place for a girls gathering! Here is Claire, her ...

WHEW!!!!! It has been way tooooo long since I have posted on the blog! We have has so much stuff going on at the Scullen House that the weeks just got away from me. The kids have started back to school and are doing great. They are involved in a bunch of after school activities that keep them busy! Both Emma Grace and Kate are taking piano lessons. Christopher is playing "fall ball" (baseball) and is doing awesome. At his game last week he pitched his first inning and got a ground rule double (He hit the ball just inside the outfield fence and then it bounced over). Kate is doing soccer again this year and she says she "loves playing defense the best". Emma Grace is trying tennis out for the first time this summer/fall and has improved so much in just 1 month. Brett has gotten back into playing tennis again too and so he is really enjoying watching her play and giving some good pointers. Brett has started his new job in Atlanta and "so far so good!...
