Hanging out

Just a couple of pictures of what we do all day.



On the big swing with daddy.

The Swing

We've been posting our pictures onto facebook instead of updating this blog. Here are some recent pictures of Jakey for those of you that don't have a facebook account.

Our first ride on a swing.







Jacob will be 9 months on Saturday. Hard to believe that he's already gone from this:


To this:

He's already climbing stairs, cruising and standing on his own. As our pediatrician said the other day, we're screwed!!

May 2009

It's been a while since I've posted anything on this blog, but that's because we've been back in the US and thoroughly enjoying being around friends and family! The summer has just flown by, and before you know it, Alex will be on his way back to Italy. Here are some pictures from May.

Our friend Christine is an awesome photographer and we asked her to take some family portraits. Here are two of me and Jakey.

Some candids taken around the house:

Hanging out in bed.

Little munchkin!!

Snow!!!

It snowed for about an hour tonight and it melted as soon as it hit the ground, but it was really pretty while it lasted.

I tried to get some pretty shots of our house with the snow fall. These are the best ones I could get.


A bunch of cars stopped along our street to watch the snow.


My sister's papaya trees, all wrapped up in a tarp.

Hurricane Ike

Ike came through last night. Here are some pictures of the storm damage.


Branches from our neighbor's tree blocking the driveway.


Fence in our backyard.


More fence damage.


Uprooted tree.

Christmas

Alex got 5 days off for Christmas, so we had a lightning round of hanging out with friends and family.

BB with our roommates/housesitters, Erik & Casey.

Tubing & Mowing

Tubing down the Guadalupe!!


Alex, Karen, BB & Jon.


We spent the night at a pecan farm and the next morning, Alex and Jon helped mow the pecan groves.


How does this thing work?

Lake Conroe

Some have requested more pictures of Alex in this blog, so here are a couple of pictures of what we've been up to this summer.

We spent the weekend on Lake Conroe with our friends, Jon & BB. It rained the entire weekend, so we stayed indoors.

Alex & Jon, cooling off after a run.

Playing cards.

Small cards or big hands?
