Loving Little Levi!

Here are some pictures of our life so far with Levi. We are having a blast with him - and Jonah is adjusting pretty well. He wants to help take care of Levi and is so gentle with him! Levi is recovering after his bris and enjoying lots of attention from all 4 of his grandparents. He looks so much like Jonah did as a newborn! We'll see if they really wind up resembling each other or not. We have gotten out of the house a couple of times, and I included some photos from our music class Friday morning. Of course at a week old, Levi is only sleeping for a few hours at a time overnight... so we are tired, but happy!

June and July

I have finally stopped crying about the fact that in a computer transfer, I lost a ton of pictures, starting from my birthday and going through almost all of July. Here are the pictures from the past month or two that we didn't lose... and thankfully I was able to get a couple of pictures from Jill from my birthday/blessing way and a few from Jessica from her visit. I was so lucky to have 2 wonderful friends visit from NY in the same month! Jess came with her mom and kids and spent a fun-filled weekend, and then Alyssa came also and I got to see her in between her concerts! There are a few random phone photos and other pictures... but stay tuned for a baby blog - hopefully VERY soon!

Late Spring and Early Summer!

After Jonah and Daniel got back from NJ, one of the first things we did was convince Jonah it was time to be a big boy and say goodbye to Abby, his beloved pacifier. He did relatively well with this (hindsight is wonderful!) and he has a fun train table to play with now :)
Lots of fun get togethers with friends and family - I think the captions explain everything for the most part! We've been keeping busy now that I'm on summer break - music and art classes are really fun, and Jonah is really enjoying doing more art at home, too. We've been finding a lot of fun things to do now that the weather is nice, like lots of outdoor concerts and fairs. Jonah loves to dance! Grandma Alice and Grandpa Bruce were here for a little visit and Jonah loved having them. They took him for a night so that Daniel and I could get away (we went to Blackhawk!) and then Jonah went on another overnight with his grandparents to Fort Collins which was a treat for ALL of us! We had a really nice Father's Day all back together in Tiny Town. This week and next are my last 2 weeks being off from school so we're trying to make the most of it by doing lots of fun things. I'm glad I'll only be going back in the afternoons so we'll still have some time for morning activities! Everything is going pretty well with my pregnancy - normal complaints that I won't bore you with here - it's hard to believe we only have 6 weeks or so until we're a family of 4!
More to come soon...

Jonah fun and some Girl Time!

As he gets older, Jonah is just more and more fun! We went for a few classes at Gymboree last month, and he just loved it there! Jonah played memory for the first time and that was a big hit, too. I read in a magazine at one point to pick up some paint swatches at Home Depot to play this easy game. What a great (and free) idea!
I included a couple of pictures from my kindergarten classes' Authors' Tea... we invited the parents in to hear the kids sing a few songs and share their writing. Always a big day at school! A big treat in Jonah's life recently was going to see Sesame Street Live with Kathy, Leah, Andrew, Zoe and Quinn. All the kids had a blast!
Straight from there I drove up to the mountains to meet my friends in Breckenridge for a girls' weekend. What a relaxing, amazing couple of days!
Next blog to come will be Jonah and Daniel's trip to NJ. I've been home alone since last Tuesday.... I can't wait for them to come back on Wednesday afternoon!

Lots of Blue and Lake Havasu

So we decided spur of the moment to find out our baby's sex at the ultrasound... and we're having another BOY!

Thought we'd take this fun picture while we were in Lake Havasu in order to share the news.

I have to admit that Daniel was psyched right away and for me it took a little while... but now I am getting really excited for Jonah to have a little brother!! If he is anything like Jonah I will be the luckiest mommy in the world :)

Below is a slideshow of some random pics from earlier this month and then our trip to Lake Havasu to visit my parents. Jonah had a blast with his Grandma Andrea and Grandpa Stan. He is still talking about everything we did. Daniel and I escaped for a night to Las Vegas. We stayed in this really cool hotel called Red Rock and I even won over $100 in roulette! Woo hoo!

Winter Fun

I have been absolutely terrible about taking pictures lately! I've got to get back into the swing of things. Here are a few though from the past couple of months... of course mostly of Jonah. He's so fun - just talking up a storm and doing great with the potty. Playdoh is his newest obsession, and I have to take some pictures of him playing with it!
