25 Weeks

All three of us are doing really well. The baby is growing, kicking, and squirming.  We are 15 weeks to the due date – April 27th – time is flying by.

Thank you to everyone for your comments, emails, and thoughts.  We appreciate all of them.

Love,

Janae

As you can see the baby is growing.  What you can’t tell from the picture is that it is kicking and punching me all of the time.  I’m amazed at the strength of a 1 lb baby.

 

Happy New Year!

Check out my baby bump and a laughing me (in front of our Christmas tree).

Lots of love!

1st Visitors

Yeah!! My mom and dad came for a visit.

    
Great conversation, excellent food, plenty of walks around old, historic Boise … perfect combination!
Thanks you guys for making the trek to see us!

Happy New Year!

At the closing of 2009, a small poem …

~~~

Oh, the joy and mystery we’ve found,

this ‘09 year all around.

Korea was a surprise change,

interesting, great food, but always a little strange.

Rufus Oregon, the river retreat,

blessed us immensely as we regained our feet.

Off to Boise, a new adventure granted.

Dear friends, we must admit, we might always find ourselves transplanted.

Let There Be Snowmen!

Boise was covered in a blanket of snow last night.  The snow is usually quite dry (so dry and light that I can sweep my steps and sidewalk, no shovel necessary).  But last night’s snow was really wet … perfect for snowmen. 

And for the close-up on this disco hat snowman …

                                                    Boise loves winter sports!

 This poor guy’s carrot nose fell off as the snow started to melt.

Christmas Day

A Wonderful Christmas Day was made complete by the following five things:

(1.) A Beautiful Tree

~~~

(2.) Christmas Bread Ring for Breakfast

~~~

(3.) Our Crazy Cat

Brutus attacks paper bags with such ENTHUSIASM!

He’s spotted his prey … (i.e.: the bag)

One quick look to check that the bag is indeed too small for him to fit into …

He just loves to try and fit into the tiny spaces.

~~~

(4.) A Walk in the Great Outdoors.

Notice the moon in the upper left of the beautiful blue sky!

We walked up this hill …

And will continue up this way.

Spectacular day here in Boise!

~~~

(5.) The Finale is Another Great Meal!

    

We thought of all our family and friends today. 

Thank you for thinking of us.

Merry Christmas!
