Family Pictures



This past June we had our family pictures taken. Here are a few samples. If you would like to see more, please let me know and I can email you some more. We started at the duck pond at Whitman College and moved to Pioneer Park so Jax could play. He was NOT on his best behavior, that is why we decided to go to Pioneer Park. Our original plan was to head to the gazebo and the aviary at Pioneer Park, but he had other plans. =) All in all the pictures turned out well. Melissa, our fabulous photographer, did an amazing job of capturing our family. We will most definitely use her again..and again...and again.

One year ago today...

One year ago today Jax aspirated on a rock. It was the scariest day ever for Dan and I. As new parents, we struggled with what to do and how to feel. I truly hope no parent has to go through that. We are so happy everything turned out the way that it did. Our lives would not be complete without our little monkey!! The pictures above are some of our favorites.

"Bob"

So Jax has recently learned a new word; "BOB." He enjoys watching Bob the Builder when mommy and daddy allow him. Here is a little video that allows you to see what we hear on a daily basis.

We're Back!



Dan and I have decided that we need to start blogging again.

Things are still busy here. Jax is loving going to Cheryl's (sitter) house everyday. He has made new friends and we often have to stand at the front door for what seems hours so he can hug ALL of his friends. We try to take Jax to the park at least 2-3 times per week. We are finding he needs to run...a lot! He is a little dare-devil!! He has to go down the slides he can't even climb, he has to swing on the big swings, but he can't yet sit on them. He is growing way too fast. He is talking so much these days. Sometimes you don't understand him, so you just smile and nod.

Dan is a busy boy over at the apple line. It is my understanding the dryer burst into flames yesterday, causing them to shut down for the day. So needless to say, they are a day behind already. It won't be too much longer and they will swith to running 4 days a week. Then hopefully he will be able to spend half a day each Friday with Jaxon. This summer they are taking out the old apple line and putting in a state of the art one. He is so excited. Things should run smoother for him.

I am in the last stages of completing my pre-nursing classes. Currently I am taking my CNA class from 5:30-8:30 Monday through Thursday nights. My weekend clinicals start May 9th and run throughout the month. I do miss being at home at nights to put Jax to bed, but I know this is only temporary.

The pictures you see are from Easter. My grandpa McGhan got to come down and visit. It was nice to see him and for him to see his Great-Grandson.
