Jenna's Visitors

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has taken time to visit with Ms. Jenna over the last couple of weeks. The photos are priceless to me!!

My Babies

Jake was helping me get Jenna ready this morning by talking to her and telling her "it otay" when she started to fuss.

Welcome, Jenna Lynn

After another amazing birth experience at St Luke's Hospital, Jenna Lynn was born on 7/14/11 at 3:06 AM weighing 8lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long. She is absolutely amazing. Her face was a little bruised from arriving so quickly, but it has faded already. Jake visited last night and couldn't get enough of her. He watched very closely every time the nurses checked on me or Jenna.

Playset Project 2011

One of the things that I wanted done before baby #2 is born was to have a nice backyard playset for Jake. Between the chain link fence and the slide/swing/sandbox, I am hoping that I can put him out back and not worry too much about the trouble he will find. Given that I am married to Mr. Do-It-The-Hard-Way, we didn't just buy a kit from the store. The design for this playset went straight from Scott's imagination to our backyard. It was pretty awesome to watch it come together. Jake was also quite the helper. They both really enjoyed their time building together.

Playset Project - 2011

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all of the wonderful Dads out there!

I would like to take time to honor the best dad that Jake could possibly have.

Stunt Dog

Scott and Jake are making slow progress with the playset (I have a ton of pictures to post when it is finished). Once the ladder was built, Josie joined in the fun. It took her a couple of days to learn that the slide is the fastest way to the bottom. Then she got to the point where she was making her own fun by dragging her ball to the top and dropping it down herself. Crazy little dog!!

ABC's

For you frequent viewers of PBS cartoons, this video needs no introduction. For everyone else...Jacob loves Super Why (which he calls Super Readers) and one of the characters is Alpha-Pig that "hammers out" the alphabet in nearly every episode. Last night, Jacob performed his best rendition.

Wriggy Ride

I think this is the roughest that Jake has ever played with Wrigley. Usually, Wrigley gets all of the hugs and "nice pets" while Josie gets the rambunctiousness.
