What We've Been Up To

Jake has been keeping us pretty busy lately. He is very adventurous and loves to climb. He has figured out how to climb up the drawers to get on top of the counters.




He also loves climbing the fence into the garden to pick tomatoes and eat them.

Jake has started taking showers while I get ready in the morning. He loves to play in there and I can get ready while keeping an eye on him. But the other morning, he discovered a new way to be destructive. He had a few trains in the shower with him. He took the cover off the drain and started pushing his trains down the drain. So I quickly got him out and then proceeded to use a hanger and magnet to pull the trains out. While I was taking care of this disaster, I did not realize another one was being created for me.

Jake had climbed onto the counter and managed to make this enormous mess.

He also loves climbing into the bathroom sink, turning on the water, and having a nice bath while fully dressed and brushing his teeth.

Noah has just finished his flag football season and did a great job!

Lucy has been helping me with a few canning projects. I have loved having her home to help me and to play with Jake.

That kid is TROUBLE! I hope you survive him. Good thing he is so cute, and good thing you have Lucy to help!

You're not canning your famous tomato soup are you??? I'm going to have to come to Omaha just to have a bowl (if I'm worthy)...

Those are hilarious pictures of Jake. I can tell he and Brooklyn are quite a bit alike. Can't wait for all the adventures ahead!

Whoa, tornado in a little body! I love kids like that because they promise to be very fun and interesting kids...if you can keep up with them when they're two! Give him a hug from us for being so cool. Jacob's inspired by Noah and wants to play football, and I'm inspired by Lucy and I want to bottle tomatoes.
