The Dawning

So, I've decided that it's time for me to start blogging. I'm going to try to post something everyday, or at the very least, 3-4 times a week. I just want to keep everybody updated on my family's day to day life.
My family consists of my husband, Jeff, me (Lesley), and our two gorgeous boys, Jackson (4 1/2), and Grayson (1). We live in Rolla, MO, which is a small town of about 17,000 people. My husband works for a healthcare company, Apria, and I work for the University of Missouri system at Missouri University of Science and Technology. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in English and am working towards my Masters in Education. We go to church at APC of Rolla and are very involved in music (I play the keyboard and sing and Jeff plays the drums) as well as children's and youth ministries. There. That is just some basic background info.
So, Grayson had developed a bad rash after his one-year check-up shots last week. Agh! He was miserable! But, I'm happy to let you all know that it is going away and the little guys is doing much better. He's such a ham! He loves music and he starts shaking his little booty as soon as he hears any kind of music being played. Actually, all you have to do is say, "Shake it baby", and he starts grooving to his own tune! LOL!
Jackson woke up this morning, saw all of the ice outside (which looks like snow) and thought that it meant that Christmas had arrived. I thought that was adorable! He's going to be thoroughly devastated if it does not actually snow on Christmas Day!
Our office Christmas Open House is today, so there is a lot of bustle and hustle going on around me. All of the departments are invited for refreshments and visiting. So, I have to plaster a permanent smile on my face for the next few hours! Blah! Well, I think this is all I'm going to write for my first blog. I hope you all enjoy my future blogs and the infinite wisdom that I plan to bestow upon all that gaze upon them. Ha! Now, that's funny right there...I don't care who you are! Much love!
