Recent iPhone Pictures


Jack is has gotten so big!  He can finally reach the pedals and pedal pretty good on his tricycle.  Just gotta work on that steering now. 


I thought these were such sweet pictures.  Jack sat there the whole time Ran was mowing the back yard.


He always loves to watch Daddy mow and will run from window to window to see what all he is doing.  Jack has become quite the little mower with his lawn mowers too!


Eating at Chick-fil-A one day and Jack found the perfect "hat".


In my effort to start healthy habits with Jack, I thought I'd buy plain 'ole oats instant of the sugar filled instant packs and to my surprise, he actually liked them.  He was even eating them dry.  I did add a little cinnamon/sugar mixture and dried apples, but I know it has to be better than the packaged ones I've been giving him for so long.


Pretending to be sleeping in the kitchen (he brought the rug in there), but he was really waiting for Daddy to finish working.


No stroller at the mall will wear a little boy OUT!  He needed to rest at Stride Rite after getting some new tennis shoes.  How does a child's foot not grow for months, then 2 months after you buy a lot of new shoes, it grows a whole size?  Jack's now wearing a 10.5 in shoes.  I'm not sure how tall he is, but he weighs about 36 pounds.  I'll do a full Jack update when he turns 3 in a few short weeks!  I can't believe it!

Planting Our Roots

Ran and I have talked about planting a tree for a while, so the day after Memorial Day, we finally did it!  


We stopped at Home Depot on our way home from the lake and bought a Live Oak tree and I love it (and our pretty new grass)!


We were trying to get Jack to pose in front of our new tree so we can watch both the tree and Jack grow through the years, but he was in a silly mood that day and acting all crazy!


And, just for the record (and so I don't forget), as much as I would love to live in this house forever and watch this tree and Jack grow big and tall, I DO NOT want to live in this town forever...


While our neighborhood is nice and I love living and working in the same town, I have my sights set on a nice, very small neighboring town about 5 miles away...


So, if that little dream of mine does someday come true, we can plant another Live Oak tree in our backyard and watch it grow big and tall!


But until then, I'll be happy and content watching this little boy and this tree grow up right before my eyes in this happy home!
