Last Bump Shot

Posted on April 30, 2010 by Jonathan

The baby is due in ten days. Here are a couple shots of an almost full-term Mommy and beaming big brother to-be.

Avery has been asking about ferry boats for a while, and we knew he’d love to go on one. So for one of our last weekends without a second child we caught a ferry out to Bainbridge Island for the day. It was cold and windy on the ferry ride, but that didn’t matter to Avery. He loved running around the deck and pointing out all the other sailboats.
Out on Bainbridge we went to Fort Ward State Park and took a walk. It’s an old military installation where they looked out for Japanese submarines (which never arrived). It’s one of the last waterways before you reach Bremerton.
We had some lunch in town and then stopped at Pegasus Coffee House. We met a nice old lady who lived on Bainbridge for 50 years. She had four grown sons and they still live on the island too. Finally we visited a huge playground before making the ferry trip home.

Bump Shoot

Posted on March 6, 2010 by Jonathan

We took these a couple weeks ago when Lindsey was 29 weeks pregnant. It was a weeknight after work and we went to the field near our house where we did bump pictures with Avery. We were hoping to get some more cute photos with Avery in them, but he was tuckered out and uncooperative. We’ll have to try again earlier in the day.

Kisses for Mommy.

Kisses for baby brother.

First Post for 2010

Posted on February 26, 2010 by Jonathan

With March quickly approaching we’d better get our first blog entry for 2010 out of the way. I guess we’ve been busy, though not sure with what. I do remember painting the baby’s nursery – oh by the way did we mention “it’s a boy?” The last time around we posted the sex the day of the ultrasound. Our bad.
Lindsey continues to have a good pregnancy, although Avery doesn’t let her take afternoon naps. All the aches and pains have been a bit more noticeable than what Lindsey recalls from last time, but it’s going by much faster the second time around.
Avery is changing all the time. His vocabulary exploded at some point, and we now have full blown conversations with him. He also has a great memory and frequently changes the subject to discuss events that happened in the past. He’s fun to talk to.
Here are some pictures from the past few months:
Hugs for my little brother.

Deep in thought.

Avery was supposed to be sleeping, but we caught him reading a book about being a big brother.

Christmas in Texas

Posted on December 30, 2009 by Jonathan

We had a great Christmas in Texas this year. It was the first time the three cousins got to spend the holiday together, and having all the kids under one roof made the season especially fun. We enjoyed a lot of good meals and way too much dessert together. Here are some pictures of the mayhem.

This red nose turned out to be a hot item – Avery and Nicole had to take turns.
