Better late than never...

I have got to keep up with this blog!! Walker turned 1 on 8-22. I can't believe that my baby boy is already a year old!! He is the life of the party in this house!!

We have been battling ear infections since his 1st Birthday. A total of 6 since the end of August.. He is scheduled to see the ENT next week. We are hoping for a solution :)

Andrew is 15 now and is wrapping up the marching season of band at school. He is also still active at our church, Oasis. He has started playing drums on Sunday mornings. I am so pleased that he is using his talents to praise Jesus! Makes this mom proud.

Adam is 14 now and has completed his last football season of Middle School. His banquet is tonight at the Senior Center here in town. He did very well and was noticed by the High School Head coach during one of the games and  was awarded Player of the Week by Coach Sims. He tried out for the middle school soccer team and made it! His position will be Goalie. After soccer is over, its on to baseball.

William will be 10 Monday and is in the midst of Pee Wee football. He is doing great! He is such a great big brother to Walker.

All the older boys have gotten braces placed. AHH $$$$$$$$.... I am hoping that it wasn't a dumb move to place them all in braces at the same time!! We shall see!!

Shawn and I are coming up on our 16th Wedding Anniversary. Life gets a little cray cray most everyday, but I couldn't imagine living it with someone else! Theres a funny story for another blog post that will be coming soon, so stay tuned..

Thats all for now..

Catching up...

So needless to say we have one busy bunch of people!! Shawn is full time with the Pascagoula Police Department. I took a full time position with Singing River Health Systems in June of 2012. I work at Ocean Springs Hospital on the GI/GYN/PEDS floor. I absolutely love what I do and I am so glad that I followed my dreams :) 

Andrew (2.5) , Adam (1.5)

Andrew is 14 years old now. Wow how time flies!!! Seems like yesterday he was Walkers age!! Andrew is in 8th grade. He is an AWESOME drummer. Currently he is involved in the school band and plays drums at our church on Wednesday nights for the youth band. 

Adam is 13 years old. He is just a smidge taller than myself. Adam is in 7th grade. He is involved in IDEAS (gifted program) at school. He is involved in so many sports that I can't keep the straight half of the time! HAHA. Between Jujitsu, Football, Track and Baseball its enough to keep me on my toes!! 

William. Ole William is a 3rd grader now. He is 9 yrs old. He is also involved in football and baseball. He loves school and is an A/B student. William has adjusted well to being a big brother!! Not a moment goes by that he doesn't kiss his little brother on the cheek and check to make sure he is ok ;) That is truly an answered prayer!!

The Panni Boys 

I can't close this blog post without recommending one of the finest OB/GYN's in the Hattiesburg area. Now I had A LOT of people ask me "Why are you driving 1 1/2 hrs to see the doctor?", while pregnant with Walker. Now, let me add... that while I work with some pretty awesome physicians, nothing compares to being at ease while you are pregnant. Well if you are in the Hattiesburg or surrounding areas... let me just tell you about Dr. Jeff Hudson. I have been through 3 pregnancies with him as my MD. With each and everyone of them, I was always at ease. I couldn't have asked for more!! Now while Walker wasn't up to the challenge of waiting on Dr. Hudson for his delivery, I was always in good hands at Forrest General Hospital. More on Walkers exciting and FAST delivery on another date.
