28 Weeks 4 Days

Hi Friends!

Somehow time just sneaks out the door and takes off running. This has been a busy time for us as a family. We have made a few trips to Vancouver, Wa... both to see family and on business. It is such a relief to catch up with my family. I treasure every chance I get!



Trav is no longer doing so much "hands on" work at our new house, so he has been home more often, keeping me company and helping with Jett. I absolutely love him for it. When the rain holds off, my guys spend as much time outside as possible. Jett is all boy... delighting in things like bonfires (burning boxes), playing in the dirt/mud/sand/gravel, and watching cars, trucks, and buses drive by in the distance. At the same time, he has a sweet side that snuggles his stuffed animals, and gives hugs and kisses.



"Coloring" on the driveway with Daddy's work pencil.



Don't be fooled.. this grin is only because he burped loudly and was quite impressed with himself.



We didn't have to tell Jett that these were outlets. The minute he saw one, he touched it saying "No No No No".



Several times a day he drags his teddy (and Pedrito) to this seat in the bookcase... just to sit.

Baby Boy #2 is getting stronger and biiiiiiiiiigger every week. His movements are more pronounced, more direct, and quite frequent. My last appointment got postponed so I am still waiting on the GD test. I have no reason to think there will be a problem! I am starting to dream of life with 2 boys. It may be crazy at times, but I will be thankful to have my full range of motion back. Poor Jett is doing a lot of walking on his own these days. It's just too much of a chore to carry him!

What an awesome weekend! The sun was shining so Travis decided it was a good day to take off from work. He and I drove to Beaverton, OR and met up with Connie, Sontia, Taelynn and Lindee. Jett had fun playing with his cousins, even if it was in a store =)

It was refreshing for both Travis and I to set aside all talk of work and future plans. Our goal was to relax and treasure time together.

We had a laugh comparing spouses to investments in the stock market: your spouse, like any investment in the stock market, will have up moments and down moments, but in the long run... the hope is that they go up in value =) Mine sure has!

Here are a few pictures from Jett & Noah's (okay, Elizabeth and my) playdate at the Port of Play. The boys make pretty good emergency teammates, doncha think?

Not in TOO much of a hurry..

Here is a brief-not-super-exciting video clip of Jett, and some photos from our Sunday afternoon at home. I am THRILLED when the weather is dry and we can hang out in the great outdoors!
