Maryland!

This past weekend we had the chance to go to Maryland and visit our good friends that we met while Daryl was in Seminary in Texas. We had a great time! We had not had a chance to hang out with them for over a year and a half. We really miss them. So, we decided to go before our frequent flier ticket expired and Nathan turned 2 (we have to buy him a ticket then). Both boys did well on the flights. The planes were not full so we were able to have some extra seats to spread out.

Our friends have twin 10.5 year old girls and twin almost 2 year old boy and girl. They were born one day before Nathan. The little ones had a great time together except for the normal 2 year old moments, of course. Here is a collage of pictures from the weekend...

4 Months Old!

Jacob had his 4 month well child check up today. He is doing well. He weighs 16 pounds, 2 ounces and is 25.25 inches long. Nathan at the same age was 1 ounce heavier and .25 inches taller. So, looks like right now they are even. At 2 months Jacob was one pound heavier than Nathan was at the same time, so it looks like Jacob's growth is slowing down a little bit. He got 3 shots and an oral vaccine as well. Here is a picture of his poor, chubby legs...

Weather!
Well, the weather has been great for the past few days and Nathan has enjoyed being able to get outside and run around and play on his slide. Apparently something else he missed doing was eating sticks...

Today Nathan, Jacob and I all went out to run a few errands. After we were done at Target, it started to rain VERY hard. So you can picture me pushing the cart with Nathan in the front, Jacob in his carseat in the basket and all of us getting soaked. It was not very fun at all. Nathan thought it was funny though.

Here is a picture of my mom from this past week with her three grandsons...

Jacob is getting a lot stronger now. Here is a picture of him practicing sitting up.

Moved In!
Well, we are in and getting used to our new place. There are still a few boxes left to unpack, but we are mostly there. Today I ordered new window treatments for the house. JCPenney is having a good sale online if you need any. There is a free shipping code out there as well. Let me know if you need it.

Jacob is doing well. He slept last night from 7:30 to 7:30! We'll see how tonight goes. Nathan is really babbly. I think he is going to start talking any day now. I have learned his favorite show is Wheel of Fortune. He loves to hear and see the letters.

Here are a few pictures from the last few days...
