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”

We got a new camera as an early Mother’s Day/Father’s Day present, since it was on sale at Costco. Jim is busy reading all about digital SLR photography to take the perfect picture, and I am just happy that there aren’t any huge shadows when I take pictures inside anymore. 🙂 So over the weekend,Continue reading “A New Camera”

After the big birthday party (read post below if you missed it!), my real birthday was pretty low-key. We had planned to go to the zoo and see a movie, but neither one worked out! Instead, we started the day by going to a local bakery for breakfast. I got a whole wheat apple cinnamonContinue reading “The Real Deal”

Wow. That sums it up. Jim threw me the best birthday party I’ve ever had (sorry, Mom and Dad!). He told me that we were getting dressed up and needed to be in Seattle at 6:30. Beyond that, I had no idea… that he was hosting a private dinner party at a luxury hotel forContinue reading “Becky’s 30th Birthday Party”

Jim threw an amazing birthday party for me Friday night. But I don’t have the pictures yet from the photographer, so I’m waiting to post about it until then. You’ll just have to wait! Saturday, we went to pick up JT from my parents’ house. My grandma was there too, and we had a wonderfulContinue reading “Birthday Brunch”
