Happy Thanksgiving!

8 months ago today, the most precious gift we have ever received was born. We are so incredibly thankful to have a healthy, happy, sweet little boy. Jacob has brought Kirk and I more joy than we ever thought was possible.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Eva Eileen Spexarth

Kirk's sister Carolyn and her husband Gerard welcomed their first precious child, Eva Eileen Spexarth into the world on November 14th. We are so excited for them and can't wait to meet our beautiful niece.

We have a tooth!

YEAH! Jacob finally got his first tooth. It was a rough road getting that tooth to pop through. He was fussy, waking up at night, and biting everything. I hope each tooth isn't like this first one was! He looks pretty darn cute with that little tooth!

Excuse all the food on his face, he just got done eating his lunch!

On the move!!!!!

Jacob isn't crawling yet, but he is definitely mobile! He is rolling like crazy and scooting on his tummy to get where he wants to go. I have to keep a very close eye on him because he is getting into everything. I guess it is time to baby-proof!

What a wild man. In the evenings he is so silly rolling and scooting all over the living room!

I have set up Jacob's pack and play in the living room because I have to put him in it when I leave the room.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!

Such a happy little lion!

He wasn't too sure about all that fabric around his face.

Mama with my little lion.

This was the best picture of all 4 kids. I guess it is a little harder than we thought to get a good picture of 4 little ones!

Out trick or treating. He was getting a little cranky because it was almost bedtime.

....and he is done!

Jacob 6 month photo shoot

When Jacob was 3 months, I took him to Sears to get some pictures taken. I was not impressed at all with they pictures they took. So, I decided it was worth a little more money to get some good pictures. I used a really great photographer, Misty Trone, who met us at Edwin Warner Park. Jacob did really well and was such a great little model. I had wanted to get some nice outdoor shots of him and I think they turned out really well. Here are two of my favorites. He is growing up so fast, he looks like a little man!

Fall fun!

My mom is here to visit for the week and we decided to take Jacob to a pumpkin patch. They had a petting farm and a ton of activities for kids. Jacob was really interested in the animals and this huge sandbox filled with corn. Next year he will be able to enjoy it even more when he is able to do more activities. Here are a few pics from our day!

Jacob riding a horse!
