So today is my first time doing this blogging thing! I feel like I have finally entered the 21st century!
Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Meredith Southern, and I live in Greenville, NC with my family. I am a graduate of East Carolina University, with a bachelors and masters in Elementary Education. Go Pirates! I am a fifth grade teacher and a mommy of an adorable 2 and a half year old boy, Johnny, and a beautiful 3 month old girl, Sadie Grace. My husband, John, is also a graduate of ECU, with a bachelors and masters in Business Administartion. He works at East Carolina Bank. We love attending ECU baseball, football, and basketball games. During the summer we spend every weekend at the beach, either in Nags Head with my parents, or Atlantic beach with John's parents.
This is my third day of my summer vacation! I am loving every minute of it, being that I get to spend it with Sadie Grace. She has grown so much and so fast in the last 3 months. She surprised me Monday by rolling over from her belly to her back for the first time! I was so excited to share her new "trick" with Johnny. However, she got stage fright and wouldn't perform, until all of a sudden she rolled from her back to her belly! Johnny was very excited! He is such a good big brother, always wanting to love and hug on her. He even likes to feed her! We are looking forward to her sitting up and eating solid foods. There are so many joys to motherhood!
Johnny spends his days at Ms. Jo's house, our day care. I would love to have him at home with me, but being a 2 and a half year old boy, he needs a lot of activity. Plus we have to pay for him all summer in order not to lose his spot. I think he's going through a jealously stage right now, or just the terrible twos, because listening to mommy is the last thing he wants to do! He is all about his daddy right now, which is good because I can concentrate on caring for little Sadie Bird, but bad because I miss our cuddle times together!
Well I think we are up-to-date on everything thats going on in the Southern Family right now! I am going to try and post every day if not every week. The summer will be easy to stay current, but once school starts, it will be harder to post! I will try my best!
