Some B-Ball & Some Books

The boys found a little bit of time to chill out this weekend

But not for long- Luke was busy answering phonecalls from incoming students until 1:00 this morning
No rest for the weary

Basketball practice has already begun

So has family reading time

Jonah's new favorite place to play is in our shower

But we have fun no matter where we are!

Even if we just woke up and someone insists on taking a picture before we've fixed our hair

Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

Mornin', Sunshine!

Orientation is going on this weekend, so it's a really busy time. All of the new students have arrived, and they're involved in all kinds of activities. It's kind of nice to see the town "bustling" a little bit, and only half of the student body is even here right now! So I'm sure things will get much busier over the next week or so.

Jonah just loves his crib. In the morning when he wakes up, he just lays there and talks until we come get him.

Last night we went to the soccer game, and Jonah had fun with everyone.

He was definitely interested in the game, too!

He hung out with Dan for a little while.

Dan had fun pointing to Jonah's nose, and Jonah had fun pointing to the buttons on Dan's shirt.

There were quite a few people there to watch, which was nice to see. And surprisingly, it wasn't too too hot. We had a breeze!

Jonah and I hung out on the blanket, ate puffs, and played with the grass.

Here's Jonah this morning.

Doing his morning readings...

I took this yesterday when Jonah woke up from his nap. He's down to one nap now, in the middle of the day, so it's a long one. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

Laughter, the Best Medicine

Well, Jonah is walking everywhere now. I think he's really got it down! Just over the past couple days, he's been getting up on his feet and just going and going and going. It's amazing. He still crawls around, too, but he's very comfortable walking. He's also babbling a mile a minute most of the time! I don't have any pictures today, but I do have two videos to share. Before I do that, I must wish a very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my brother Joe. We love you and hope you have an awesome day!!! You should definitely get a foot massage tonight. :)

Here's just a little sample of Jonah's walking skills.

We all know laughter is the best medicine. Apparently, Jonah has figured that out. He's been doing this a lot lately, and I finally caught him in the act. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

Childish Chatter

There's no better place to sit

Or stand

I had to get a video of this because he does it all the time. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

The Park, Spelling Class, & the Dryer

The other night we took Jonah to a little park in Ave Maria. It was a nice evening, and there was a little breeze, so it was perfect. Even though he was a little too young for all the playground toys, he had a great time.

Here's Jonah in one of his new "nighties"... from Grandma D.

The alligator we saw on the way to the park... he was a big one!

We had spelling class in the bathtub last night.

Even though he didn't really pass his spelling exams, he got an A+ in splashing.

He loves the dryer. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

I'm not sure what's been going on with the blog lately, but it's been acting up for some reason. I've managed to upload some pictures and a video today, so at least it's something.

We went to a baseball game the other night, and as you can see, the stands were PACKED.

Jonah really enjoyed watching the players and pretty much everything else.

Can you spot Luke and Jonah in this picture?

We sure had a good time!

The other day when we were running errands, Jonah had fun in the back playing "Where's Jonah"?

Then he got tired.

My guys

I don't remember this video, but I'm sure it's cute because Luke and Jonah are in it. It's the only one I could get to load. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

Bath & Publix!

Just a little update. Jonah is SO talkative now... Luke says he's just like his mommy. Hahaha. If you sit with him and a book, like Luke is doing here, Jonah will just point to different things and talk. It is just darling! The book here is called "Farm Friends" (which came from Great Grandma Condit) and right now it's his favorite one. He loves the flowers on the different pages and is constantly pointing to them. We sit and read with him quite a bit.

A note to Grandma Dougoveto- you're not the only one who loves the laundry room!

And two videos today... the first one was taken during Jonah's bath a couple nights ago. Luke was jumping into the hallway and scaring him. The second one I took at Publix the other day. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!

More Water... in the tub, that is!

Here's where Jonah stood while I unloaded groceries yesterday.

He loves the teapot!

He enjoyed driving around the grocery store, but occasionally he would stop to eat his book.

And now for some pictures of our house after Mom, Dad, Andrea, and Angela added their creative touches...

I know he's in the bath, but I just have to post this one. It's so cute. Enjoy, have a great day, and love to all of you!
