Life update. aka Photo Dump.

Happy Friday Wednesday! Today is our Friday for the week. Can you say Spring Break? Woo! So, we're going to spend our time with friends and family. Here's what we've been up to lately.

Have a great weekend!

Five Months: Lewis

This is a week late, but with baby Charlotte's surgery being today, I didn't want another post on here before her get better day. Updates will be posted to the original post about Charlotte. So keep checking there.

Lewis turned 5 months last Monday. We were still on Christmas break and loving it.

He didn't have an appointment this month, so I'm not sure what his stats are. But he has been growing like crazy. He's still a peanut, but he's tall.

Lewis loves to visit and he loves people. (I'm not entirely sure where he got that from...) And he's interested in learning about everything going on around him.

In the last month, Lewis has had two snow days (the third being after his 5 mo marker), celebrated a whole week of Christmas, went to his first wedding, celebrated his first New Years, learned to nap by himself (YES!), and has gotten sick again. Stinking colds.

Three new things he's started this month are: making a really loud "mmmmmmmm" sound whenever he's unhappy...hungry, tired of being with a certain toy, tired of tummy time, etc....resting his arm over whatever he's leaning against, and folding his hands when he's pleased with himself.

We love you, Lewis. And we are so glad you're here!

It's THAT time of year again!

Just imagine it. The trees are completely leafless, the fields are dead, the wind has recently started biting, and on your drive you suddenly spot blaze orange in a tree across the field.

And another and then another! Before you know it, the game has begun. Spot the hunter.

Today, Kyle will join my dad for another year of deer hunting.

 Rockin Kyle's new hat...

Lewis needs one this year.

Kyle calls this the before and after Jared's Subway diet.

Not only do we enjoy being home for hunting, but we enjoy the time we get to spend with family. We always have potato klub that my grandma makes. This year my aunt and I will make it and it's going to be an adventure!  That link to klub is the closest recipe I could find to my grandma's. I just wanted to give you an idea of what it was. One of the biggest differences is that we always have gravy and butter as toppings to klub. And yes...you will sink if you try to swim right after eating klub.

This time last year, we didn't know I was pregnant...and it's so fun to be sharing this year's hunting fun with Lewis too!

Happy hunting and be safe!

May the Fourth

I may not be quite the die hard Star Wars fan that some of you are. But be that as it may, I do love me a good pun. And a good meme. And a good movie.

That being said, check out this meme and the video afterward.

 

Oh, okay. I'll share another.

I hope you enjoyed these!

Oh, and May the Fourth be with you!
