First Blog-August 21, 2007

Happy 5 month birthday to my son Adam!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my first attempt at a blog entry! Here it goes.

Growing up "Cook."
This is often joked about around my house, of course Darren(husband) is a true believer that growing up Cook means you grow up being tough, funny, athletic..., and he is right. Of course the Burch shines through as well providing our kids with sensitivity, patience, more humor... We are both a little biased.

About the fam: We live in a small town (where I grew up). Obviously we have 3 children, a girl, Katy, and 2 boys, Mason and Adam! We have been married 9 years and have lived here for more than 6. D is building contractor and works with a Christian based organization and I am an Early Learning Specialist working with Stay-at-Home moms and thier kids. It's a wonderful job, I have the opportunity to be with my own kids as well as spend time working with other families, helping them prepare themselves and thier children for kindergarten.

Next week my Katy goes to Pre-K, it is a 5 day a week, 8-3 schedule. We are excited, but a little nervous, I know I am. She is really looking forward to being a part of her new class and making new friends. I am, as most parents, excited and a little worried with things like, will she get made fun of, will she have any friends, will she be able to open her milk carton in the cafeteria... Oh the things that clutter our mind. All in all, it will be a positive experience for all of us. However, I know Mason will miss her during the day when she is gone, and he won't understand why he can't go too. Hopefully it will give us a chance to spend a little more QT together!

Well, that is it for my first blog! Pretty neat!
