What we've been up to

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been a while since we updated this blog. We've been super busy around here. V has so many projects going on around the house, and A keeps us on our toes 24/7. We go to the doctor tomorrow for A's 3 week checkup. Wow, 3 weeks!! We can't wait to see how much he weighs. It's crazy how time passes by so fast when you're busy. A is doing great these days, aside from some gas pains now and then. C is doing great being a full time mommy, which is a lot of work! V went back to work after being off for two weeks, but he'd rather win the lottery and retire early. Nothing beats being home with the family! :)

We're planning to go to St. Louis this weekend, and it was funny when we booked the hotel - we had to specify 2 adults, 1 child on the hotel booking website. It's the little things like that, that make you think "whoa, that's strange!", but strange in a neat sort of way. Anyway, we can't wait to see St. Louis and hang out with M, B, and JJ! It will be neat to see what A thinks of JJ, and vice versa. I think A will just grunt and make some weird faces, as usual. :)

Here are some pics of A and other things we've been up to lately...


A takin' it easy in the boppy...


A's reaction to the St. Louis Cardinals losing to the Detroit Tigers (he was mimicing daddy)




V built a new aquarium stand for the new tank (sold the old one). Almost finished, like a lot of projects around here!! :)

The three generations! Very cool!

Hanging out w/ V's parents

A likes the outdoors - loves to look around at the contrast between the sky and the house

A hot air balloon passed very close by...it was much closer than this photo shows:

A talking to grandma...kids these days have too many high-tech toys!

A looks older in this photo!

And much older in this photo! Mommy bought him that cute little outfit.

We're trying to not kill some new tomato plants. It's not going so well so far. They're out of sight while we're indoors, so they're out of mind and don't get watered enough.

Hangin' with A on the bed...

Mommy loves to kiss A a LOT! We think he likes it. Can't help it anyway...we love him SO MUCH!

The three generations again at V's parents' house in Van Buren. Should have used Photoshop to put a tan on V's legs. They're so white, A is squinting! :)

V makes some killer pancakes! They are super thick and taste great, but not as great as Uncle Bill's pancakes in St. Louis, which we get to have this weekend!!!! WOOHOO!!!

The new office is coming along. Just a little more sheetrock to go. This photo was taken with a wide angle lens, so the room looks really narrow and curved.


the end.
