As promised......

just a little late. Jude is mobile. It is not exactly what I would call crawling, but it gets him where he wants to go and is extremely entertaining for us. This video is a little dark - but we are novices at trying to video spontaneous events.

Cousins Ava and Eden

I could not get enough of my nieces Ava and Eden at the Meendering Thanksgiving. What sweet girls.....

Computer on the Fritz

Sorry our pictures have not been showing up lately. THanks for those of you who emailed me to let me know. I would have been in the dark. Jon figured out that our home laptop hard drive is almost full and our internet connection is super slow at home so we are having some sort of issue with uploading pictures. Check back tomorrow and hopefully the pictures will be there!

Who wants turkey (2)

We enjoyed a second thanksgiving in huron with gma and gpa meendering, aunt sam and uncle nick, and cousins ava and eden. Jude spent most of his weekend watching ava sing and dance and staring at his cousin eden, who is only 2 weeks older than he is. When you watch Jude next to his laid back cousin Eden, it confirmed our suspicions that Jude is a little bit high strung. Where ever did he learn this?....like mother like son??

Who wants turkey?

Jude had a great first thanksgiving. We spent time with my family on Thanksgiving day and Jon's family the day after thanksgiving (pictures to come). Although Jude didn't get any turkey, he had a great day with his familly......

Thanksgiving Morning

We had a lovely morning in our new house before heading to grandma and grandpa's house for thanksgiving. It was the first morning we spent in our new house that we were not running off to work and could take time and enjoy the sun streaming in the windows, a hot cup of coffee, and and story with Jude.

We are Thankful....(part I)

The weekend before thanksgiving we drve to Omaha and spent the weekend visiting friends and checking out our old stomping grounds. It brought back a lot of great memories and made us homesick for so many things we miss from Omaha, especially some dear friends....

Thanks for making our visit great. We miss you all!

THE WORM

Jude had us laughing pretty hard a few weeks ago as he was trying so hard to crawl and it totally looked like he was doing the worm dance. He made some big progress this week on his mobility - I will post an updated video tomorrow to show his progress! For now, enjoy the worm.....

Welcome Fall

It has been a beautiful few weeks here...cool air, warm sun, and fall colors. We are crossing our fingers that it sticks around for awhile. We have to get the boxes in our garage unpacked so we can park our cars in there before the snow comes! Hopefully we have got until Thanksgiving - at least.

Who loves Candy Corn?

Looking cute in my candy corn halloween outfit from Greta.

Practicing my spooky face (or blinded by the flash) .....

We are behind scheduleing with the posting because we made the move to our new house. We have been busy trying to get a few boxes unpacked and get settled in. We will post more on the new house later - but for now enjoy the pics of Jude from Halloween.
