Our celebration started on Thursday: the big day! I woke JT up with a song, just like last year… Then his very first birthday present was watching the garbage truck come down the street. 🙂 We did errands in the morning and I tried to get a picture of him after lunch, but he wasContinue reading “Turning Two”

As you may have noticed, we do the same thing every Tuesday: we ski on Long Lake. This past Tuesday we invited our friends the Skagens to boat with us. Of course, we had a wonderful time! A common sight on the lake Adam gets in a good ski run Jim and Aly go forContinue reading “Tuesday Tradition”

On Monday, we moved JT into his new room. He says it “new oom!” which is kind of funny. It used to be our guest room, and it is much bigger than his old room. I didn’t paint… but I did assemble a new toy shelf and a toy box and hang wall art andContinue reading “New Oom”

We’ve been planning this weekend with friends since December, and it finally arrived! We spent last weekend at the Macaleers’ house on Lake Whatcom with the Agledals, Mazzoncinis, Shucks, and Windhams. That’s 12 adults and 7 children, ages 4 and under… and four of the women are pregnant. Wow! We had a wonderful time andContinue reading “Lake Whatcom”

Some randoms… I got these Carhartt overalls at our kids’ consignment shop for $6. Score! We came home from a long, hot day on the river with friends and had stopped at the produce stand on our way in. When I came in from unloading the car, JT was helping himself to the fresh raspberries.Continue reading “Around”

We invited our friends the Bonnells down to Long Lake to hang out with us on the first official day of summer, July 6th. It was hot and we had an awesome time! The Bonnells brought their son Brady (1) and their niece Emily (2). We also invited Kelsey (almost 5, who lives there) toContinue reading “More fun on the Lake”

On July 5th, we went down to our friends’ lake cabin on Lake Tanwax. We had a great time and Jim was glad to have some relaxation time after working seven straight days in a row. JT loved hanging around Eli (“Ee-i”), who is old enough to teach JT some new things but young enoughContinue reading “Lake Tanwax”

Jim worked on the Fourth of July, and, typical for the Seattle area, it rained. But JT and I had a nice time at our neigborhood BBQ. I was surprised that not only did he love the fireworks and booms, he wanted more and it didn’t startle him one bit. The neighbors thought it wasContinue reading “Fourth of July”

I had a checkup for Haley today and everything looks great. My doctor commented that my belly is “just the right size” but that I might not make my “goal weight” at this rate. It was a little funny because when I got weighed by the nurse she was concerned that I’d lost weight thisContinue reading “Baby 2 Update”

JT picked up a little cold this week. Either that or his teeth are really bothering him… or both. It’s tough to tell because he’s drooling all over and saying “teeth, teeth” but then again he’s got an icky cough and some major snot issues. Anyway, he loves the suction bulb for his nose. IContinue reading “A Little Congestion”
