Sean is Two!

It seems like yesterday that Jon and I were heading down to Virginia for Nikki's c-section. Now, Sean is two years old. I just can't believe it. He has grown into such an adorable, sweet boy. Love you Sean.

Storybook Land

Jon and I have been dying for a vacation. Now, that summer is here the pool and the beach will do, but we still felt we needed a day away. So, Jon took Tuesday off of work and we headed to Storybook Land to spend the day. We couldn't have had better weather and the kids had a blast! Jake loved everything and Will loved watching everything. As we sat there and ate our picnic lunch under the shade, I thought... How lucky am I?



Looking into Santa's House


Jon looks more scared than Jake, hehe



Can't he just stay this little forever...
Soo tired...




The only ride I went on... remembered I was pregnant...

Picture Update



Jon took Jake to the driving range after literally months of him asking to go golfing.

He loved it!!



Our second visit with Will's birth mother since his birth.

This time we went to the Phil's game together. It was awesome!



Spending time with Sean, his cousin.

Now that my sister lives closer by, the boys get to see their cousin much more!







Helping clean Nikki's house with the cleaning crew. This was hysterical. I could hear him trying to speak Spanish to some of the ladies. So funny.


Eko and Jon attempting to put together a desk.



Memorial Day Weekend time with family!

Famous Pop Pop tickles and swimming with Popple.


Swimming in the pool! Jake is SOOO excited.

He says every morning... "It's Summa time!!"

And then there were THREE...

We found out yesterday that we are expecting a healthy, active little BOY! That makes three. Crazy! Never in my life did I think I would have three boys. The girl who doesn't really get sports, is not competitive at all and considers herself pretty calm and peaceful. Not for long... YAY to boys! It is certainly not going to be a dull life for Jon and I! I couldn't be more thrilled and I was reminded yesterday of just how blessed we are with this little gift! All 11 ounces of him! Now to coming up with a name and designing his room... let the fun begin!

Mother's Day Tea

This morning, Jake's class held a Mother's Day Tea. It was my first and I know I will never forget it. I had tears in my eyes the whole time. Jake is just so darn sweet and loving. He sang songs and did the movements as he sang. I was so proud watching him sit like a little man with his friends. I always get a kick out of how he introduces himself. All the children went around saying their names "Jack," "Lilly,"and here is my Jakers.... "Jacob Michael Sharp!" All of his buddies at school call him Jake Sharp because that's what he calls himself. So funny. At one point, Jake got really into the music and moved his little hips. Everyone was cracking up. He has such rhythm! It is hysterical. I don't know where he gets it. (video below) A bunch of the ladies brought their mom's along with them which was bitter sweet for me. I was so proud and emotional about the whole morning, it was perfect! Thank you to my first little man. You make me one proud momma!

Around these parts...

Lately, we have been relaxing, spending time with family and enjoying the weather as much as possible. The past few weekends my sister and nephew have been living here and joining my brother in law at the hotel. They spent some time looking for a place to live and have settled on a perfect house that is twenty minutes or so from here. I couldn't be more thrilled! My siblings and I are very close and I can't wait to have my sister closer to me and for our boys to spend more time together. Now.... if we can work on my New York City loving brother and his adorable girlfriend (whom I refer to as Aunt Katie... hoping he gets the point!) It has been wonderful and makes me realize what I have been missing by not living near my family. There is something special about your own family. My family relaxes me and makes me laugh. I love that I laugh more around them then any other group of people.



Last weekend we headed down to B-more for a much overdue trip to visit Dad and Carol. My dad's birthday was recently so, to celebrate we bought tickets to the Thomas the train show that was being held at the B & O railroad. We also BBQ'd in familiar Dad's birthday fashion in the backyard. Playing soccer, croquet, jumping on the trampoline and just simply hanging out. Wonderful! I loved it. Here's to spring!
