Our lives keep rolling on and the boys keep growing. I put together some pics of them from Christmas since we haven't done that much posting lately.
Jacob is a crazy running ball of joy. He is starting to talk quite a bit lately - has about 50-60 words and tries more every day - today's new word was balloon. He doesn't say 2 at a time yet, but he will sign one and say one. It is so cute to see him be proud of a new accomplishment and I cherish his smile.
Today was a big day - he ate whole rice, chicken pices and corn!!! While this may seem normal for other 19 month olds, he hasn't wanted to eat 'food' unless it is ground up. He likes peanut butter or cheese on toast and loves crackers, but real food has only been eaten ground up. So we are pretty excited about this past week - tater tots and chicken pieces on Wed and this rice mix that was sent home from school tonight! Go Jacob:)
Jason is currently in Japan. Between the two of us, we've had quite a busy December and January. I went to China twice and now Jason is gone. So, work is keeping us busy, but it's good. We thank God for our jobs and the blessings he has given as we see co-workers loosing their jobs. So far we have not been notified of any job changes - there will be a total of 6000 people leaving Intel this year, so it's a hard time and my heart breaks for those effected by the economy.
Ethan is doing great and is playing alot of soccer, which is fun. He's enjoying it and is doing well in school. He is the best big brother and I love seeing the two of them together. It is really special. Jacob just loves him and now everytime he sees a school bus he says Ba-Ba (we get Ethan from the bus on Wednesday afternoons). It's cute.
I think that's all for the update. Enjoy the pics.
