Ema's First Day of School

Today was Ema's first day of school at First Baptist Church of Griffin's Weekday program. She was so excited to go and meet all the new friends that she is going to make! It's amazing at just how fast she has grown up... When she got home, she had to tell me all about the kids, the playground and the painting that she painted. This program is going to be so good for her and for us as well. It will definitely get all of us prepared for when she starts "real" school. (pre-k is next year!) She loves to tell people about her experiences at school, so make sure you ask her when you talk to her.

TOBEY NICHOLAS MAXEDON

Well, you all know that Tobey's original date of arrival was September 6, but for some reason, he just couldn't wait for that. He was born on August 12, 2006 at 1:40am at Spalding Regional Hospital. His weight was 6 pounds 9 ounces and his length was 18 inches. Even though he was born at 35 weeks (5 weeks early) he was healthy as could be. There were no problems, other than the fact that we were not prepared for a birth this early at all... no bags were packed yet!
Oh, well! We are so excited that we have finally gotten to meet our son! He is beautiful and is such a good baby.

We are already on a pretty scheduled routine, and he never cries for no reason. Once we get used to the 3am feedings, we will stop crying too... :)

Ema is also really excited that he is here. She is his "little mommy" wanting to help with everything from feeding him a bottle to changing his diapers.

Thanks to all of you who visited us in the hospital and at our house. We definitely enjoyed the company and the help from all of you!
