We're in for...

Another wonderful ADVENTURE!!

God has blessed us with another miracle!
Baby #2 is due to be born around
December 3, 2012
AND WE CAN'T WAIT!!!!!




Jonas went to this appointment with us and was very excited
to see the baby on the ultrasound screen.  This picture is pretty blurry but it's the best
one they could get.  Jonas wanted to take a picture to school to show his class that 
he's going to be a big brother.  He's so proud.  
He's going to be wonderful with this baby!

I am really late in posting this - sorry - but it's really cool that the baby is 
now moving around as I'm typing :)

We are looking forward to our next ultrasound on July 17th
where we're going to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl!
Stay tuned...

What a lovely miracle!
Thanks God!!

T-Ball

Practice Day... learning the rules.  

                               #1.  Have fun!
                               #2.  We do share (but do not "share" the base with the other 
                                       team when we are in the outfield.)
                               #3.  Pay attention (to where the ball is so you don't get hit by it.)
                               #4.  Run, fast!


Very excited for practice!


Jonas is in the blue shirt... learning where to stand and where the outfield is.


Loves that he wears a helmet when he's up to bat.


Home run!  Ok, not really, but it was a good hit!  :)


Practice batting with the coach and his wife.



Learning what to do when you're in the outfield.
The team had two practice days before the first games.



 The Big Saturday Game!

All smiles on his big day!



Group pics!


We were so happy that Kim, Josh and Olivia
made it down for Jonas' big game day!


Jonas is in the outfield - middle


First time wearing shades... she's not quite ready for them.




Ready to hit a home run!!


The coach pitches the ball to the kids and Jonas typically 
hits the ball right away.  He loves to be up to bat.  Towards the end of the game,
Jonas noticed that the other kids "got to use the tee" so he decided 
to miss the ball three times in a row 
so the coach would "let him" hit the ball on the tee ... 
It was more fun than hitting it right away, can't deny that!!


Running over to the dugout.


Up to bat again and loving it!!

The Last Game of the Season 
Awards Ceremony & Pizza Party


Best Buds from t-ball.


Coach is passing out the pizza and snacks!




The team was awarded individual trophies and medals!


Jonas was very proud :)




Ready to run around before the game!


Coach talking with the team before the last game!
Coach Kirk was wonderful with the kids.  He taught them the rules of 
the game but always let them be kids.  He wasn't too competitive, which is 
important at this age.  They all had a fun time learning and playing.



They're ready!



Jonas is up to bat.
It was a GREAT season!

Springtime Adventures


This spring Mark built Jonas a tree fort in the back yard


Jonas loves it!!


One day we went downtown to walk around
and Jonas discovered the statue of Mr. Aiken.  He decided
he wanted to be best buds with him, so I took a picture.  :)
You can be friends with a statue, right?!


Another day we drove over to Augusta and walked along the river.
It's one of our favorite places to go... of course it's so much better with a tootsie pop!


Beautiful views




Silly faces!


Our sweet boy


Loves to climb the slide!!


Fun times!!


Spring picture - before school pics


I helped out with Jonas' Easter Egg Hunt at school.
The kids are getting boundaries from their 4K teacher Mrs. Gregory.
Now it's time to hunt!
Ready... Set...


GO!


The whole class took off running in every direction.


Jonas LOVES to run!


Making Easter Chicks for craft time.



He really had a fun time with his class this year.  They all became great friends.
Can't believe he's going to be in kindergarten in the fall!
