Fun With Grandma

Jonathan loves his Grandma! He wanted her more than me. He liked to tickle her, play peek-a-boo and just have her hold him. It was so sweet!

Don't Mess With The Uncles

Chaun and Matt TRYING to look tough! Scary isn't it.

Cousins

The cousins had lots of fun together. Jonathan was kissing his cousins (Natalie and Josiah). The big girls chased our boys around a lot. Thanks Emily and Alise. Luke shared his toys. It was fun to watch them all interact.

Off to the Holidome

My parents treated us all to a couple of nights at the Holidome for Christmas/Thanksgiving. It was so fun. We swam, played games, shopped at IKEA, took some family pictures, and enjoyed our time together. Thanks dad and mom!

Recuperating from Dinner

Tired and full (although don't let Emily trick you-she's not sleeping. That girl never sleeps!)

Thanksgiving with the Ostercamp Family

Unity made us a delicious turkey dinner. We had fun celebrating and reflecting on God's goodness to us. Thanks Matt and Unity for letting us all invade. As you can see there were some extra chefs around the house. Lucky for us they had nothing to do with the food.

I Love Balls!

This is just a random picture I found that I liked. Jonathan still loves balls. He has quite the arm and is working on swinging a bat (well an empty pop bottle is his bat) with his dad. He's making contact every once in awhile!

Having Fun

Here are some random pictures of Jonathan that I didn't put on earlier but thought they were cute. His new thing has been to wear Chaun's hat and walk around with it over his eyes. It is pretty funny but a little dangerous too.

Mary???

These pictures were taken at the Payne house. I thought it was funny. They used to wear that and pretend to be Mary. Could he be Mary?

My Belly

I have had people tell me they want to see my belly grow. So here it is. I am due February 2nd. Only three months to go!

Sisters

I thought it would be fun to post a picture of Sarah and I. We are having so much fun with our boys and are excited to have babies close together again.

Josiah visits

Sarah and Eric came to Louisville to visit us. It was so fun to see Jonathan and Josiah run around together and play cars. Jonathan was trying to teach Josiah how to put a lot of food in his mouth. I think he thought he was eating too slow. We went to the zoo and had fun looking at the animals, splashing in the water and sliding down the slide. Thanks for coming!

Trick or Treat

Our friends gave us this cute duck outfit so we put it on Jonathan and took him to church for Trunk or Treat. He had no idea what was going on but he was pretty cute. He got to eat a little bit of a sucker and loved it. Sadly our best picture of him was in the bathroom holding his shoes. He is with his friends Jake(batman), Jed (pirate) and Luke the little turtle.

Happy Jonathan

Home Again

We arrived safely home. We were glad to see Chaun and he was even more happy to see us. Jonathan was amazing both coming and going. He was a happy traveler. I was proud of him!

Visiting Lots of Friends

We got to visit a lot of our special friends in Waterloo. We miss everyone so much. Sadly I didn't get pictures of everyone we saw. Sorry Nikkels and Vandersee girls! Next time we will do better. I have a picture of Cooper that is too cute not to put on. Sadly I didn't get Jonathan and Cooper together. Here are a few of the people we saw.

Shopping With Mom and Grandma

Mom took Jonathan and I shopping one day. We had a great time. Well, Jonathan endured pretty happily but it was probably not his favorite day. Do you like his new hat? We ate at Olive Garden, yummy! Thanks for all the treats mom!

More fun in Iowa

More fun at Grandpa's and Grandma's. Snuggling with Grandma, horse rides with Grandpa, playing outside at the sand table. He took a huge bite of sand. Let's just say he didn't think it tasted good. It was very funny!

Playing at the Park

It has been cool but beautiful in Iowa. I love fall! We went to the park today. Jonathan loved going down the slide, however he went down on his tummy every time. There were lots of walnuts so he was excited about all the "balls" lying around.
