We even had a weekend lazy enough that we had time to make a huge Saturday morning breakfast. Jake helped with the eggs. Watch out Top Chef, here comes Jake!
Jake's favorite thing to do is creating scenes for the animals, dinosaurs, cars and any other toys he can find.
Bubba came to visit in mid-August. Originally Alex and I had thought we were going to take a babymoon but it just never came together but we did take a night away in Austin that was so nice. Bubba's visit also covered one of the days that Jake was out of school so they had plenty of good adventures.
Above Bubba and Jake at Austin's famous Kerby Lane for brunch. Below, Jake and his new friend, Laredo. Bubba just couldn't resist him.
Thanks to the week off of school, Jake caught up on some movies, hung out with some old friends (Teddy) and caught up on some sleep!
We took Jake with us on to visit the hospital where I'll deliver in hopes that it would be helpful for him and when I did go in to have the baby he'd have a sense of where I was. It is a new and nice new hospital. Jake did well on the tour and told us he was excited for his baby to come! Hopefully he'll be excited when she's actually here!
Here is another attempt at capturing the belly even though it doesn't really show just how big the thing is.
I've been driving myself (and probably Alex and even Jake) a little crazy trying to get both the baby nursery and Jake's "big boy" room ready! It is helpful to have friends like Shannan and Chris Riemer who are both Realtors and actually enjoy staging and moving furniture around. 30 minutes after they arrived the furniture in Jake's room finally made sense and my decorating ideas in the baby's room had been improved and enhanced by Shannan. Not to mention the fact that Jake and Jacob got to play and anytime with baby Max is a treat!
Jake is all about Dinosaurs (and cars but I found dino sheets first) right now so I've gone prehistoric in his room. I've even attempted my own DIY art project that after a miserable first attempt turned out pretty cute.
I'll probably reveal the nursery (and maybe the baby?) in the next blog since I'm still waiting on a few things to be delivered. Thank goodness for Etsy!
During his career at ECP, Jake has been a Butterfly, Turtle, Ladybug and a Dalmatian. He is now a whale. After such an amazing year in the ladybug room we were very sad (and kind of mad) that the kids were split up so much. The biggest shock was that Jake and his girl Leah were separated. The lead teacher in the Whale room, Ms. Katherine is a University of Georgia alum and a teacher we know well so that made us feel better. We were also glad that Jake was still with buds Avi and Jacob and reunited with former Turtle friend Ellen. Pictures from the Meet the Teacher's Day and the 1st day of school.
Avi and Jake loved the work bench and play at it all the time. Avi is building a house and Jake is helping him. On our way out we ran into Jacob. Actually I think it was more like Jacob ran into Jake with a huge hug. It was so cute!
Obligatory first day of school picture! He had a great first week as a Whale so we're happy!
We didn't get any pictures but we had a fun visit from our friend Shana Treger for a work event that she and I both attended - Shana works for the National Apartment Association and I'm with the Texas Apartment Association. We're now expecting a visit from the whole Treger family!
We got our red and black on to go hang out at SEC Picnic. Alex is the President for the Austin SEC club and the Austin Dawgs so Jake and I went down to see him and hang out despite the heat. It was a great event and Alex and the whole SEC board did an amazing job especially in the heat. Wish our little Dawg was in a better mood and we could have stayed longer but it was just too hot (I think it got up to 110 that day) to be out for long.
Jake and Daddy pre-picnic and Jake enjoys some lunch.
In September we're looking forward to the return of football, hoping for cooler weather (unlikely) and quite possibly, a baby!
