The Coblentz Family: June 2009

My little boy is growing up

It's official... David turned ONE last Tuesday! I can't believe it has been one year since my little boy came into this world. It was crazy thinking about the days leading up to his birthday. I would reminisce about what was happening in our lives last year. Even after his birthday Matthew and I discussed the days he spent in the NICU. What an amazing God we have!!!! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family, husband, and little boy in my life. I don't deserve it, but I am so thankful for it all. The Lord has been so good to me and to look at my David and see his sweet, smiling face...I don't know how anyone could say "there is no God." I watch him take in so much and then turn around show me what he has learned. to think of what all his little mind takes in is simply amazing. He went from a tiny beating heart in my belly and has grown into a beautiful baby boy that smiles, calls my name, and gives me kisses. What more could I ask for?

I thank all of you who have followed our family over the last year. Alot has faced us, but we have embraced every bit of it... and I truly believe that it has been with all of your thoughts and prayers.

Now, enjoy some pictures from David's first birthday!

A few announcements...No, I am not pregnant! :)

Announcement #1:
You have to look at the picture and see if you can figure it out...

YES!!! Alex and Colin are expecting their first child! I am so happy! She won't mind me saying, but they have been trying for a pretty good while and we are so happy that the little "strawberry" decided to make an appearance!

Announcement #2:
Most of you probaby saw it on my Facebook page, but... I AM EMPLOYED! Yes, I am super excited. As many of you know I finished my internship in May and graduated with my Masters in Elementary Education. After I finished I had a couple of interviews. I was called to interview for a brand new school in Montgomery... Wilson Elementary. I interviewed on a Wednesday and was called Friday by the principal, Jason Bigham. He offered me a position!! I am really, really excited and a little nervous. He hasn't "officially" placed anyone in a grade level... only "penciled" us in. I am penciled in for fourth grade. I have never taught fourth grade before so if you are out there and have any wonderful ideas OR stuff you want to get rid of...please pass them on!

As you can probably imagine I am very busy taking care of things around the house, trying to enjoy my summer, and spending money for my classroom! My internship teacher, Melissa Deaton, another first grade teacher from Halycon, Melissa Cleondis, and Meagan Griffin (a good friend of mine)are all teaching at Wilson too. That makes it all so much more excitng! Please pray for me as I start on this new journey!

Announcement #3:
David started swimming lessons!! We are doing "Mommy and Me" swimming lessons at Wynlakes Country Club. We are in a class with Emily Foy and her son Pearce, Rachel Harrison and her son Wren, Jenah Wilson and her daughter Sarah. It has been fun, and he has actually done very well. He loves the water and all he wants to do is put his face in it!

Okay, so there were more than just a few...

Announcement #4:
David turns ONE in 14 days! I can't believe it has been one year since he was born... and one year of me blogging! Funny how fast it goes by. I am working on the party... I will say to you loyal friends of mine who love us dearly, I am only having a family party and a few local, close friends that David sees often. I just felt like he can't really "play" right now with "all his friends" and trust me, he has a ton! ;) I think we will wait until the next birthdays to invite a "crowd." We are doing a simple party here, at our house. I will post pictures!

Here are a good bit of pictures from our Memorial Day weekend.

David is not walking yet, but I really think he will soon. This is a video of him finally standing on his own. Yes, as usual, ignore my commentary.
