Jack and Audrey

Here are some fun pictures of Jack and Audrey from today. We'll be sure to designate a post for newborn pictures and video, but it may take some time! :) For now, enjoy these priceless brother/sister moments.







Also, Jack did a great job building towers during one of Audrey's naps. Here he is working hard on his construction and engineering abilities!




Finally, we discovered we don't have many pictures of Audrey with her eyes open, but here is a good one:

No More Monkeys...

This video is a little outdated (Christmas time), but we rediscovered it tonight and thought it was worth a late posting!

Learning to Lie


This is a great article! It's a little bit long, but absolutely facsinating regarding a child's ability to lie, and the consequences of how parents handle those lies. It gives some great background into why kids lie and what type of parenting environment can enhance or help a child to tell the truth. Enjoy!

Mommy & Jack Time + Baby Girl Update


Jack and Mommy have had some fun lately cuddling and catching up before baby girl arrives. Even though there is not much room on the lap for Jack, he finds a way to make it work!



Also, an update on baby girl: she still is hanging on and we are thankful! Our prayer is that she makes it as long as she needs to in order to arrive healthy and safely. Things continue to progress so we aren't going anywhere far and certainly not overdoing it at work, and the doctor still is expecting her sometime before next week Monday. However, we'll see. This could be a fun joke she plays on all of us and we would be okay with that! :)

That still didn't stop us from putting our preparations into high gear and here are a few pictures of my players helping us out by scrapping the wallpaper in the nursery. Thanks ladies!

Boys having fun

Sometimes being stuck in the house can make you a little stir crazy. When those times come, the guys know just what to do to work out some energy!

There's something in my pocket


Jack has discovered the pocket. We discovered his new ability the other night when out of nowhere he pulled out an old villlage people dog and said, "I found it!" Since then, everything small goes in his pockets (especially his favorite, fridge magnets).
