End of Summer Update

Today we took Jacob in for his 6-month check-up. He is 19 pounds, 3 ounces (I really thought he already weighed 20 pounds!), which is the 75% and he is 29 1/2 inches long, which is the 95%. Looks like Matthew has a mini-me!

Jacob in his Jumparoo - he loves it! Thank you, McHale Family!

Rachel and Jacob
Rachel is one of my oldest and best friends in the world and we are thankful we got to visit with her last weekend. We love you, Ray Ray (Abby nick-named her:)!

This was Jacob's first time to ride in the cart.

The best big sis!

Our little girl is growing up so fast. Tomorrow is Abby's first day of school at Aragon Spanish Academy, a Christian-based Spanish Immersion Preschool.

J-A-C-O-B!!!

Our little man turned 6 months old on the 12th of August! We are so thankful God has entrusted us to care for this precious little boy. Jacob is such a happy little dude and very laid back. He is a great eater and a pretty good sleeper (most of the time). He can roll across the room and can almost sit up by himself. I'll be taking him to the doctor next week for his six-month check up but I'm pretty sure we already know what the doctor will tell us... Jacob is still a big boy! I have had to get out the 18-month-sized clothes for him! We love our little man so much!

Jacob and his buds...

The boys get lots of hang out time while their big sisters play. It won't be long and we will be chasing them all around.

The Girls - Modeling their new flip flops. Thanks, Laci!

Our Trip Up North!

We had a wonderful trip up to northern Michigan this year. Here are some pictures from our time Up North!

Auntie reading to Abby and Abram. We loved that we were actually able to be outside all day long without burning up!

It's so peaceful and relaxing that you can just take a nap on the grass, like Pop!

Jacob and Linda
If Jacob was not eating he could always be found in Linda's arms! He loves this lady!

Some of the family at dinner. We had so much family up there we had to rent a tent so everyone would have a place at the dinner table.
