water, stickers, and more


Jacen loves playing at the playground with the fountains

Jacen discovered stickers recently. He usually puts them on his clothes, but in the absence of a shirt, his tummy will do!


Ethan taught Jacen how to pound the shapes through the sorter with the hammer. They had so much fun!


Jacen and I baked brownies for Ethan to take along to the Bar Exam. Jacen liked watching the beaters and licking the batter.

Emerging personality



Jacen has turned into a total clown! He is always climbing on things, putting things on his head, and turning things upside down. He loves to hide under a blanket or in the closet and then jump out and yell, "Boo!" And if he succeeds in making you laugh, he throws his head back and lets out a loud, "Ah ha ha!" When he's really excited, he'll do a little dance, clenching his fists and stepping from one foot to another really fast.

In other news, Ethan and I celebrated our 4th anniversary this June. It feels like a lot has happened in four years. Hopefully in the next year we can add a new job and first house to our list of accomplishments. And speaking of jobs, Ethan doesn't have one yet (please keep praying), but I managed to get a new job. I am now the costumer for St. Charles Community College's Young People's Theatre. I just found out I got it, so I'm not completely sure what it entails yet. I'll let you know more details as we go along. I'm really excited, though. I didn't know if I'd ever work in theatre again.

If you're reading this, I'd love to hear from you. :)
