Aloha Summer Weather




Yes, Jacob is naked. It's been warm around here and I'd rather him be too cold than too warm. Soon we'll be saying goodbye to our shorts and slippers weather. That makes me a bit sad but excited. Cooler weather brings trick-or-treating, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I can't believe how quickly time goes by!

3+ months



Jacob is such a little cutie! He looks EXACTLY like Joseph did when he was a baby; it's so strange! He is just as hesitant to smile and laugh. He often has a furrowed brow and it's a bit discouraging. I know that when he DOES start to have greater command of his facial muscles it will be even more special!

He had his 2-month shots and it was so hard to be in the same room. I thought I could be stronger but as soon as he started to cry I was OUT OF THERE! Thank goodness I waited for Joe to come home so he could be the calm, collected adult.

We're still getting used to having another child. It's an adjustment but I'm especially proud of Joseph. He's an ideal big brother and I'm so relieved everything worked out!

First Day of First Grade

Here is Joseph on the morning of his first day back to school. Thanks to Shylo and Jon for his fancy Gymboree outfit. We met his teacher, Mrs. Emmons, the day before. She seems very nice and we're excited for another year of learning!

Noa Turning One!




I'm super excited because I get to plan my cutie-pie nephew, Noa's, first birthday! Patrick and Sondra decided that the theme for the party is Tigers because Noa was born in the year of the Tiger! It's so smart because the colors of a tiger are black and orange and that totally fits with the October 30th date! His due date was actually on Halloween so it's very fitting. I'm very excited!
