Too much good news for one day

We are leaving on vacation today: a minivan, 4 adults (1 pregnant- though not me!), 2 babies (5 and 16 months), and 24 hours to Ft. Myers. Are we crazy or what??

In other (wonderful! blessed!) news, we bought a house (again)! Many of you know that we were supposed to move about 2 weeks before Jamus was due. That ended up falling through, but today we signed a new purchase agreement for the same house. We are so very happy, but praying that nothing goes wrong this time. God willing and the cricks don't rise, we should be moving in May.

We'll be back in about a week. I can't wait to post pictures of Jamus in his summer rompers!

Here is something to tide you over:

Indoor Flowers

Mobility

Yesterday I put Jamus on the floor under his overhead play center while I did some things around the house. Next thing I knew, he'd rotated 180 degrees, scooted off the blanket, and was getting into his clean laundry!

He was quite proud of himself.

5 months

It is AMAZING how much Jamus has grown in 5 short months:

Park

Tupperware too

There's nothing like a cardboard box

Happy Birthday Cappy!

Spring!

Jamus and I took advantage of the beautiful sunshine and went for our first spring walk!

In other news, Joel made amazing eggs benedict this morning. Renaissance man!

Giggle

Jamus has been giggling for a while, but it was hard to get on video because for some reason the only thing that was funny was a nose in his armpit. Now that his sense of humor is developing, he's getting a little less selective.

2 weeks/ 2 teeth

Well, I think the teeth are finally in! Last night was the first relatively normal night in 2 weeks. I think all the hard work paid off:

Birth Announcement

Here is our favorite photo from the professional photo shoot we had done when Jamus was 4 weeks or so. I was going to use it to send out announcements, but time got away from me so I decided to post it here instead. We also have a beautiful 8 x 10 of it to hang in his room.
