Jake is ready for First Grade!
Jake had a good summer-
Notice the tan?
He was excited about 1st grade, but really bummed that summer
was over.
Can you blame him?

Grandma Jo-Anne came to
visit from North Carolina
for a week to help and meet Amanda-- |
Great Grandma Annie and
Grandpa Fred support Jake's first school fundraiser- you guessed
it- Wrapping Paper! He proved to be quite the salesman...budding
career? |

Two months

and shows pleasure! It's so much more fun. |
Halloween brought
a Ninja to our home. |

Jake has always been into
exploration. Here he's exploring Grandpa Bob's backyard. |

Mike
took Jake to the Franklin Park Zoo this fall- here he is checking
out his wing span. |
November makes Amanda 3
months old! Now she's reaching for things and using her arms
intentionally- we're watching that brain develop- it's fascinating
how each skill comes in it's own time.
It's not possible for Jake and Amanda to love
each other more- he can make her laugh the loudest and smile
the fastest. If Jake is in the room, Amanda sees no one else.
