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!!

Learning to read at 11 months!!

Jake's 11 months old! He still weighs almost 24 pounds, but he has gotten much longer! He also now has 2 teeth that he likes to show the world!! He is a true goof ball now!

Anna's new thing before she tortures her brother is..."Mommy take a picture"

Ahh, the joys of being able to TRASH my mommy's house!

Anna got a big doll house for christmas from Jake...they both love it!

I brought the kids to my parents house alone, Mike was VERY sick...we passed it on to him, oops! It was a fun and exhausting day, but the kids did really well!

Merry Christmas!

Our church christmas program was a lot of fun! Jake was introduced (he wiggled everywhere) and Anna sang songs with the 2-3 year olds.

playing together in the tent

Jake's 10 months old! He is getting too daring, pulling up on things and crawling everywhere!

Jake's first big boy hair cut...he doesn't look like a baby anymore!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

He loves the Johnny Jump-Up, and he needs a hair cut really bad!

As soon as it started snowing on Wednesday, Anna started begging to go outside and build snowmen! She even let herself out of the house without me knowing it!! YIKES! She played in the backyard for almost an hour!!
