adventures in bubblewrap

It's kinda funny, their different reactions to bubblewrap...

Jacob claims it as his own and has a great time playing with it:

Jeremiah inspects it dubiously and wonders if he's been caught with something he shouldn't be playing with:

squinty-face (dec '06)

I have no words for this amount of cuteness...

(except to say that he has WAY more hair now)

in the wal-mart parking lot

Upon seeing a white stretch limo in the parking lot at Wal-Mart, the conversation went like this...

Jacob: Daddy-daddy-daddy, look at that look at that that long look at that long long truck do you see that do you see the long that long long truck over there? It's over there, see? See it?

Daddy: Yup I see it. That's a limousine.

Jacob: Yeah. It's long.

Jacob: Momma, did you see that lizomard over there?

Momma: Oh yeah, I see it! That sure is a cool-looking lizomard...

So. A blog. Who knew?
Here are a few recent pictures to get us started:


Here is Jeremiah looking quite dapper. (And check out those cutie-pie toes!) He's walking all over the place now. We made the observation the other day that he manages to not fall more times than he does fall. His favorite activities these days are squeezing Rita's tail (which she enjoys immensely, I'm sure), hammering everything in sight with anything he can find to be the hammer, "reading" Go Baby Go and patting the baby pictures, and banging pan lids on the kitchen floor. And holy cow, he'll be having his 1st birthday in about 3 weeks!

Here is Jacob in the middle of some hide-and-seek, which is probably his favorite game these days. He'll hide anywhere -- under his covers, in a big box, in a corner somewhere, and sometimes in plain sight. Jacob's great at the hiding... Unfortunately, Jeremiah's not so great at the seeking yet. Jacob also loves pretending, watching videos, and staying in his pajamas all day. (I have no idea where he could have picked up that habit!) He's practically reading, which is pretty exciting at 4 & 1/2, and as usual he is extremely verbal. Anyone needing to kill some time (a few hours perhaps?) should call us up and talk to him on the phone. :)

Hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into the children's lives...
