Cake

Jonah attended his first concert last weekend…a free Cake concert at the nation’s largest free arts festival in Baltimore. Here he is in his big boy outfit for the concert… (His little legs are so buff, he can hold up his own weight!)

This is how bad our seats were…but hey, it was free and that way at least it wasn’t too loud for Jonah.

And this is what Jonah thought of it all…

Yay for a day out! It is a lot harder to go places now that we have Jonah, but we are adjusting!

9 weeks old

Jonah had his two month shots today. I think I had as much fun as he did…as in not any fun at all! But thanks to Tylenol he is now peacefully sleeping it off.

He weighed in at 12 lbs 13 oz and 23.5 inches long. The doctor said he is a very well proportioned baby.

Eagle Scouts!

We were able to be there on Sunday for Cody’s farewell (Ukraine here he comes!) and also for Taylor’s eagle court of honor (CONGRATS Taylor! He’s only 14!). Now all the boys in the family are eagle scouts!

And yes, I did know that Nick was an eagle.

Baby shower in Idaho…


We all had to wear silly name tags and call each other by the names…my mom’s was “stretch marks”

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone who came!
And a BIG THANK YOU to my Mom and Sister for putting it all together…Nicole prepared some of the most creative baby shower games ever!
I don’t know enough people here in Maryland to be able have a baby shower so this meant a lot to me.

12 inches….

I recently lost twelve inches of hair…






It’s been on my list of things to do before I die for quite some time now and I finally got up the guts to part with my long hair and donate it to locks of love.
