Ok, so now I'm realizing I'm a complete slacker! So much has happened in the last several months since I posted last, but I'll try to keep it somewhat short and sweet.

We found out we were expecting baby #2 right before I posted last, but was still keeping it a secret. That was 6 months ago and baby is due in just 6 weeks! We found out he was a boy in October and have had the hardest time trying to decide on a name for him. We've come up with several and many have been suggested, but we still haven't found one that feels 'right,' if you know what I mean. We're very excited to meet him and we can't wait for Nanny to come and visit us when he gets here.

Jackson turned 18 months last month and has since been introduced to Nursery at church. So far he's gone twice and hasn't let Daddy leave the room for more than a few minutes at a time. Mr Smarty has already figured out how to work the door, so they have to keep a close eye on him so he doesn't escape. Right now he is in the midst of learning all sorts of words and is constantly telling me all about stuff, but I have yet to decipher the gibberish from the actual words. It seems like every day he learns a new word and it becomes the word of the week, and he says it(and the others he's learned) over and over and over while pointing to whatever he thinks it(they) means. He's starting to get a sense of humor too and finds the silliest things hilarious, like blowing on Daddy's tummy and bouncing on whoever is willing to let him bounce. We're trying to get him ready for baby brother, but he's still young enough he has no idea what we are talking about. He knows what babies are and is very cautious around them, but he has no idea that there is actually a baby in Mommy's tummy and I don't really expect him to understand yet.

Jeff is still working at the Hospital and loving it. It's made trying to go to school hard, but luckily he only has to take a couple classes in order to get into the nursing program this fall. He's planning on taking them next quarter when the times will work out better with his work schedule.

Anyways, we hope all that read this are well and enjoying life as best they can! We love you and I will try to post in here more often than every 6 months :)
