July 30th, 2010 | by Jessie | Today during Jace’s afternoon nap, I was lying on the couch with Jett (our 4 year old) and face-to-face he looked at me and whispered the following:
“I love your beautiful nose, and your eyes, and your mouth and your teeth, and your eyebrows, and your polka dots on your nose (pores), and this squishy [...]
July 29th, 2010 | by Jessie | I just got back from running errands.
One thing I had yet to do was go to our safe deposit box at the bank and get a copy of Jude’s social security card. Check.
The second thing I had to do was take the copy of his social security card and turn it in along [...]
July 27th, 2010 | by Jessie | Our nephew Jackson spent some time at his grandparents’ house last weekend, and we were able to come out for a visit for a short while.
This is probably bad news:
Jett carried Jace over to the jeep and strapped him in. Then Jett got in the passenger’s side and was pressing the “gas” [...]

Last week my great-grandpa Clarence died. He was 99 years old; born in 1910 and died in 2010, just 4 months away from his 100th birthday.
Friday we went to his visitation at a funeral home in Marshalltown. We took the kids. It was nice because it was a celebration of his life, a [...]
July 20th, 2010 | by Jessie | Lately, we’ve just been laying low… you know, hanging out.
The older boys and I had dentist appointments today and I’m happy to report: no cavities!
It was the first time either one of the boys had been to the dentist, and I honestly didn’t know how they were going to do. I was [...]
July 15th, 2010 | by Jessie | Wow.
Had to get the Flip out to capture this magic.
Easy on the neck vein!
Also, the microphone toss/half-windmill move that takes place around the 3:50 mark is with eyes closed, just so you know. It’s more impressive that way, after all.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

July 15th, 2010 | by Jessie | For as long as I can remember, Jude has pronounced the word pretzels as prenzels. Except, it sounds very nasally when he says it. I hope this is translating well. Are you still there?
I cannot give you a good reason why I’ve let this go on so long, but I’ll try anyway: 1) he [...]
July 14th, 2010 | by Jessie | We’re selling our house. We’ve lived here for just over 5 years. It’s been a great starter home. We’re ready to move on.
Our house was listed for about a month in February/March of this year. Then we pulled it off the market in anticipation of Josh taking another job. When that didn’t happen, we [...]

Jace. Why? Why do you have to grow so quickly? I demand an answer. I will wait patiently for a response. *crickets*
I am a reasonable person (save the previous paragraph). I have been diligently recording the months as they have come and gone. Day in and day out, I’ve been loving and appreciating, [...]
July 12th, 2010 | by Jessie | Cool pool party, la la la la.
The boys and I went to a pool party with some great friends last week.
And I got some good pictures. Of their kids.
Here is Jace, but not my Jace. Our friend Jace, adorable Jace. He’s a few months younger than my Jace, but heavier as scientifically [...]
