What has been happening??

We have been working on some projects around the house...painted cabinets, got laminate in the kitchen and hallway, and got new carpet in the bedrooms. It's been done for a little while now, but we wanted to show you the update:

Before:


After:

Jaxson had to take his nap on mommy and daddy's bed in the living room while the carpet was being laid. He slept great and didn't seem to be disturbed by the loud drills (putting the transitions pieces in) and the nail guns, etc. It was VERY loud and I don't know how he slept through it all.




Aunt Nicole flew home from Africa and was here for a couple days. She's in the states for 3 weeks. Grandma and Grandpa Temm came and stayed for a couple days and then the 3 of them went to St. Louis. It was lots of fun to have them here. We went to the White River State Park and walked around the canal. Jaxson, as you all know, loves to be outside, so it was an enjoyable afternoon. Friday we went the state fair for a little bit to see the animals and walk around. It was a beautiful day. A couple weeks ago we went the County Fair to also see the animals. It was fun to be outside and fun for him to see all the animals. He's not always sure what to do with the big animals, but he likes when we make the animal sounds or better yet, when the animals "talk" to him. Yesterday, the sheep and the pigs were making noises and Jaxson was talking back.

We have so much fun with our little boy. It's so cute when he starts looking for Mike if I tell him "Daddy will be home in a little bit" or "we're going to see daddy."

Jaxson, of course, does something cute everyday, but this morning, we were playing on the floor in the living room. Jaxson had wandered over to get some toys and he was rubbing his eyes. I said, "are you tired and ready for your nap? Come here if you're ready for your nap." He crawled right over to me. I gave him a big hug and then we walked to his bedroom and I laid him down in his crib.
