To All,
GO COCKS! Wow, what a game. I wasn't quite sure we were going to pull that one off. I proud of our boys. We really had a chance to have a magical season. Had four of the close games swung our way, we could have been booking rooms in Atlanta. I know, as a Gamecock fan, I've been saying this for years, but this time I mean it, "Wait till next year". Spurrier has got something good going on in Columbia.
As for the McCoy's, we've had better days. Our house has been filled with sickness lately. Jeremiah has had congestion and cold issues. I had Mono for about two weeks, followed by a sinus infection, and topped off with a nice juicy stomach virus. Keely is not feeling so hot either. She too caught Mono and has had an icky stomach lately. The only one seeming to dodge all of this is Caleb.
Speaking of Caleb, his football season ended 7-1 with a loss in the semifinals of the playoffs. He also made Beaufort county all-stars this year! They made it to the championship game but fell 12-6. I am so proud of him. He has improved 100% since last year and has found his inner toughness. He laid out some people this year as well as putting points on the board. We are saving up to send him to Steve Spurrier's football camp this coming summer. Hopefully the visored mastermind can mold my boy into an unparalleled football phenom.
Jeremiah is STILL GROWING. He's HUGE! He is so cute. His cooing is intinsifying as he is trying his hardest to communicate. I also think that he'll be crawling soon. When we lay him on the bed, he does this little "worm shuffle". Unfortunately, we were downstairs one night while he was napping and we heard this loud THUD. He had wiggled his big old fanny right off the side of the bed. Luckily after a little crying he was back to his old self. Needless to say, we are having to keep a closer eye on him these days.
Keely and I keep on keeping on. We are stretched extremely thin, but through the overwhelming joy of parenthood, our marriage has gotten that much stronger. It's funny how much retrospect you get as you age and mature. I've begun to realize just how special my childhood was. No responsibilities, no hardships, no worries. I only hope that I can give my boys the same thing.
We hope all of you are doing well. I can't wait for the holidays. I'm pretty bummed that I won't get to see Robert and Ai this Christmas, but if everything works out the way we plan, we'll be able to come visit in Febuary after the little McCoy princess is born. Take care, enjoy the pictures, and God bless.
With love,
Brad, Keely, Caleb, and Jeremiah
