It's cute to see the interaction between the boys, Jake just laughs and says "OOOOH" when he looks at Luke.

Chillin' out on a Friday afternoon. The kids are getting along pretty well. Anna still likes to beat on Jake, but all in all they are perfect playmates!

Anna and Jake love their new brother. Jake gives him little kisses and hugs willingly without being told!

Our new baby boy will be here in July.

The kids have a new form of torture for the dog! Banging on the slider and yelling at him!

Jake learned how to walk almost immediately after we moved into the new house.

We moved into the new house on Friday. It was a very busy and exhausting weekend for all of us! Jake and Anna seem to be adjusting o.k., I can't leave the room without Jake having a meltdown, but as long as I am in site he is fine. Reagan isn't too fond of this new place, at the other house he could roam and here he is on a chain. Hopefully it will get better!

Moving day!! We closed on our new house today and will move in tomorrow!! Anna is very excited about having a new bedroom in a new house.

Jake's birthday party went really well, he had a blast!

Fun in the first big snow of 2006!!! Anna played outside with the dog for over an hour. I brought Jake out to see what he thought for a few minutes and he loved it too!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jacob Joseph!! His party is on Sunday but we had a little family cake time to practice!!
