So, We Pretty Much Suck at This...

...you know, the whole update the blog thing. Not like we're busy or anything!

Ever since Aaron was born, simple tasks are three times as hard, and the blog kind of takes a back seat to things like feeding the children or clean clothes. Plus, trying to sell and buy a house, and being completely exhausted all make things even harder. (By the way, I know John posted that Aaron was sleeping 7-8 hours and only waking once a night about 2.5 months ago. Well, that was the last day that Aaron did that. He is currently sleeping one 3-4 hour stretch, then waking every 1-2 hours after that. And during the day, his naps are always less than an hour long, and conveniently never during Jacob's naps, so Mama is VERY tired.)

Anyway, so I uploaded pictures from the big camera today, and when I realized there were pictures from a month ago still on the camera, I knew we were slacking off. So, I made it a priority to do a post today. It may take me all day, but it will get done!

This first batch of pictures goes back about a month, to the middle of July. Many of the pictures are from our recent trip to Rocklin for Emily's wedding. We decided to fly and my mom was amazing enough to agree to drive and meet us there to help out. We are so thankful that she was willing to come! The trip would have been much harder without her! This was the boys' first airplane ride and they did awesome. Of course, we only got one picture of Jacob while on the plane, since airports and planes can be very hectic with two small children, and I can't find that particular picture. Figures.

July/August 2009


This second album is to demonstrate why we are so crazy busy this month. Here is our new house! We should be moving in at the end of the month, and are very busy with signing papers, packing boxes, appraisal and inspection reports, and keeping up with the work on the new place. But we are very excited and looking forward to getting settled in the new place!

We're In Escrow


So, it only took me 5 hours from start to finish for this post! Pretty good, huh? And, I got a nap in (thanks, Aaron)!

Update: So apparently John had the two plane pictures on his phone and has uploaded them to the first album. Yes, Jacob slept the entire flight home. Aaron only slept at the very end of the flight.

Camcorder moments

We finally loaded some of our camcorder footage onto the computer. We have a few gems from this week. First, here's Aaron, who really likes to be bounced:



And here is some footage of Jacob singing the alphabet song. It also provides a little insight into why we don't have much camcorder footage of Jacob any more:
