He is started to say more and more words. Yesterday he pointed to a piece of dust..I said “dust”. He then repeated me.  He also said eyes the other day.  He will be 20 months on March 19th and the days/weeks/months are flying by.  I just love him and want to savor these days.

I had this great idea. I would buy a Wii Fit and work out while the kids are playing in the front room.
As you can see from the picture, this did not work out…..

Jon’s First Birthday, originally uploaded by tigerpaw511.

I realize it’s been a few weeks since his birthday. Better late than never. With a number of family members out of town, we had a smaller than usual family gathering to celebrate Jon’s first birthday. Even though the other family members were there via video conference for a short while, we had a blast with the small group that was there.

Thanks to everyone that came and shared this special day with us.

Jonathan loves peaches. Here he is enjoying his favorite dessert during the Memorial Day weekend. Hope all of you are enjoying time with family and/or friends.

Jonathan wanted to wish everyone a nice weekend.

Day At The Lake, originally uploaded by tigerpaw511.

We had plans to take the boys to Crystal Cove in Newport Beach but as we drove past Lake Mission Viejo, we changed our plans. Made a U-turn at the next light and drove to the lake.

Both Parker and Jonathan enjoyed the entire North Beach to themselves while mom and dad helped build sand castles.

It’s days like this where we are glad to have made the decision to move here.  Click on the photo above to see more of our trip and also check out the movie of Lena and Parker attempting to build a sand castle.

We missed Dylan but got a call from grandma who said he was having a lot of fun with his extended family in Florida and was about to see a stunt show at Disneyworld.

A number of you have asked where all the new posts have gone…

Well, we have been a little busy the past month or so. We have sold a house, bought a house, moved out, moved in, started raising a newborn, raising a 2 year old, parent teacher conference for the 7 year old, back at work after maternity leave, crazy busy at work….just to name several of the things that have been going on.

Now that things have “settled down”, I’ll do my best to get back to my regular posting schedule. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Took this shot of Jonathan and just had to put it up here. The little guy is growing so fast..just like his brothers did. It truly is amazing to watch them develop into little people. As always, go ahead and click on the photo to be taken to our Flickr feed. Enjoy!
