we went camping last weekend with our community group and had a great time with our friends... one major hiccup when J fell and hit his head hard enough to end up with back arched, eyes rolled back, and arms shaking. it was truly terrifying and we are so thankful that he has had no other symptoms of brain damage. Thank you God! Our little guy is behaving completely normally, even amazing us with how much he is learning and growing each day.

perhaps we have spoiled him a bit since then... ice cream and a movie with mom and dad :)


jonah (cousin on jordan's side) came to visit us for the week... he was totally laid back about spending his last days of summer with a boring mom and lively toddler...


he and jordan decided it was time for a haircut :)


J frequently removes all the pans from this cupboard... the crawling into it was new though.


what so funny? i said "1...2...3" before the picture... he said "4" and thought it was a very funny joke :)


proud of this yummy rissoto! carrots, two kinds of squash, and peas from our garden chicken stock from our own chicken. ok ok and there's costco bacon and rice...


our little farmer... he has been particularly enjoying chasing the ducks the past few days...
