Everything is going great...I'm sitting here typing with

one hand while the other is holding nico...he is in

good health besides a little eye infection....he has

been awake alot lately so we have really been

enjoying the eye contact and interaction...the "bun"

...or as we call it, kidney bean, is also in good health

...we are not going to find out the sex this time :) ...

this typically drives everyone crazy but we thought it

would be fun...we had our 20 wk ultrasound on

Friday and the baby moved its tiny little fingers and

hands...it also opened its eyes and looked at us...

well, in the direction of the camera!!!! So cool! Garrett

started middle school last week...it doesn't seem

possible...We went school shopping and he picked

out some really grown up styles along with cologne

...He is so cute! ("Lord hear our prayers")...anyways,

he is loving middle school so far... Jake and I have

been running around like crazy trying to pick out

things for the house and we're also out checking

the lot frequently...I'm back to school now too...so

we both have to work and finding spare time for

family and the house can be tricky...to top it off

Garrett just started football...2 hour practices 3

nights a week...

Yes, life is busy...but fun! Thanks for all the

birthday wishes...I had a wonderful day with my

boys!

Enjoy the photos!

Miss you and much love to all...
