For Nana:

My mother-in-law called me up to tell me it has been a long time since I had pictures of Jake (and the kids). She begged me to get some pictures posted on my blog. So, here are just a few. I need to pull my camera out more, I just never have it with me. I am probably going to invest in a point and shot, so that I can take more pictures. It is hard to carry around a huge SLR with 3 kids, so it is time to downsize.

But I do need to take more pictures and I will try and post more of my kids! But for now, this is for you nana! Thanks for asking me to do this.


Hannah is playing soccer this fall. Here team is the "Scooby Blues". Fun name huh? She is on the same team as her really good friend (Ren) and they have a blast together. Hannah was all pysch'd to play this year, because the last game of the season (last year) she made a goal. That "high" carried over a whole year and can't wait to score another one. Let's hope she does. There is a boy on her team that is above and beyond the rest of the players, so it is really a matter of getting the ball from him in order to score a goal. Here's hoping!


Each morning when the girls wake up and come into our bed, they can't wait to be with Jake. I have usually just finished feeding him and they anxiously wait their turn to smoother him with love. This is one of the mornings. Ella lucked out, because she has Jake all to herself. You can tell she is happy about it.


Jake loves baths and this one was no exception. He was so happy. Lots of smiling and laughing. So, we grabbed the camera and it all stopped. I couldn't get him to stop fixating on the camera. He couldn't figure out what was in mom's hand and covering my face. So, no great shots of smiling jake, maybe next time. But look at his big body. My word. His head doesn't fit his body. He is a big boy!
