Last night… we headed upstairs to do some chores, and JT decided to read me his book. Keep in mind that he says apple “aaaaaa” and it’s repeated on every page so it gets a little repetitive. Maybe he feels like it’s repetitive when we read it, too. Notice showing the audience the pictures… heContinue reading “An Evening at Home”

This week I worked on a little art project for JT’s new room. He will have a bigger room with more wall space and a nice big dresser that needs some wall art over it. I had this idea to buy canvas and acrylics and paint something to match his quilt, curtain, and pillow. (ThanksContinue reading “A New Art Project”

JT and I invited Jen, Asher, and Abby to go to the KidsQuest Children’s Museum in Bellevue today. It was awesome! I have to say, this one is way better than the Seattle Children’s Museum for my kid. There were more things that he loves to do, and the layout is really nice. I thinkContinue reading “KidsQuest”

I have a family baby shower in a few weeks, so today JT and I went to Target before church and Babies R Us after church and hammered out two small registries. (I almost coughed when the woman at BRUs told me to register for at least 200 items. Seriously?) I’ve been working on anContinue reading “Registered!”

JT will be 21 months old this week. Wow! In a few short months, he will have the awesome reponsibility of being a big brother. So we’ve been working on a few things… Like riding his tricycle to the park, riding his bicycle in the back yard, going down the slide all by himself, andContinue reading “Big Brother in Training”

Lucky us – we have friends with a membership to the new YMCA, who invited us to go swimming with them! So today we got to enjoy the warm, clear water of the pool with our friends Carrie and Emi. I got a quick picture of the two kids before they got in, but (ugh)Continue reading “Fun with Emi”

Sixteen weeks already! It is flying by. I had a checkup this week, which also flew by. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s my second and everything seems fine, but I was in and out in fifteen minutes. (That’s total time on the premises!) Baby 2 had a great heart rate (155 bpm) andContinue reading “Baby 2 Update”

My sister-in-law (finally) sent the pictures off her camera from our February North Carolina trip, and I’m (finally) getting around to posting my favorites. 🙂 JT wakes up in North Carolina to three happy cousins. All blondes. 🙂 Helping Preston make breakfast. Sitting with Uncle Jeff (both boys look bored!) Playing tractor… trademark tongue pokingContinue reading “North Carolina Repost”

It all started at the community Easter egg hunt on Saturday morning. (How come people get all upset about Christmas trees, but no one gets upset about Easter egg hunts?) JT did a great job picking up his share of the under-two-group’s eggs. After about 15 eggs were in his bucket, he realized he didn’tContinue reading “Easter Weekend”

We’re back in swimming! This time, we’re at the local pool. It’s colder, more crowded, and noisy… but way less expensive and closer to home. Plus I suppose it will get JT ready for lake swimming this summer. Since we got our new camera, I was able to get some great pictures from all theContinue reading “Swimming Again”
