Life is good, I really can't complain. It is, however, super busy. Well, probably not-it's just not super unbusy like I'm used to. :) Here's a few pictures for a quick recap. I have lots of pictures I could post, but I'm not going to make any promises about posting again any time soon.
Us at our lot-notice the trampoline in the background. It belongs to our neighbors of course. Who happen to have a little boy 2 months older than Isaac. They're already great pals.
And the lot without us.
We started digging Thursday evening. They finished Saturday morning and the foundation will be started on Monday. We have really been blessed with beautiful weather. And, according the forecast, the blessings will continue. Hooray!
This is what our house will look like when it's done. Except the siding and stone will be different. And the top left window will match the others. This is the original house our plans were used for. I drive by this house about twice a month-luckily I haven't seen any suspscious neighbors giving me crazy looks for stopping and taking pictures.
We went to a pumpkin patch/apple orchard with my parents. Travis and Bri joined us a little later. We all had a grand time. And, as was mentioned above, we had some wonderful weather.
The kids and I made cookies one day for Jake since he was staying home with the kids while I went somewhere that night. Any guesses what makes this happen? 11 of these cookies were yummy-the other, well, I guess I can't say for sure because it went straight to the trash.
And Leah. Oh, Miss Leah how we love you. Even more when you sleep. At all. But more when it's in your own room. She's really given us a hard time this week with sleeping. Last night she finally went back to her own bed. All night. Ahh...rest without getting kicked (by a child not in utero). Here's to hoping she's back to her normal easy-sleeper self.
And a quick baby update. At my last appointment I was 28 weeks and measured 27. No surprise there. I'm sure this baby will be a teeny one like the last two. Not even close to having a name picked out. We're down to just over 2 months so time is a-tickin'!
As for the rest of us...
Jake-SUPER busy with the election being a little over a week away. Besides being President of our county Young Republicans, he's also the campaign manager for his dad who is running for County Supervisor. He's active with about 4 other campaigns as well. He'll be home sleeping Wednesday November 3 since he'll have to wait up late to see the results of all the west coast elections. Young Men's is treating him well and he always has a good time with his boys. And if he has a few spare moments, they go to spending time on our house since we (meaning Jake) are acting as general comtractors.
Jenn-I'm a mom. To two toddlers. With another on the way. What more can I say. Oh, I love it! I really haven't been crafting or sewing lately due to limited space and time, but hope to get in a few projects soon. I was called as the Gospel Doctrine teacher in July so I have a lesson to prepare every week, but I really love teaching.
Isaac-Growing like crazy. He really cracks us up every day. He loves to jump off anything (furniture, stairs, beds, etc.) and prefers to be pantsless. (He claims they make him run slow). He is still working with a speech therapist and is getting better. People other than me can understand him, which is nice-for me because I don't have to translate and nice for him because he doesn't get frustrated. He loves nursery at church is learning lots of things at home with. We opted to note send him to preschool this year. We may not send him next year. I have a teaching degree for crying outloud. :)
Leah-What a stinker. But a cute one. So she gets away with everything. She is a climber and a getter-intoer. She loves to take off her diaper and really wants to be potty-trained. I really think I'm going to try here in the next couple weeks. She is getting used to nursery at church and only cries for the first few minutes. She loves to copy her brother, but can also be quite the instigator. Coloring and baby dolls are her favorites these days. And milk. This girl loves her milk!
Alright, that's a really quick update without much detail. But there you have it. We're here. We're well. We're really well actually. :)
