It's Leap Day.  Today is the day that Great-Grandma met Jesus face-to-face.  We will surely miss her but will celebrate the life and legacy she has passed on.  Here is our 5 generation photo taken right after Joel was born.

Jake and I made a tic-tac-toe board at his Valentine's Day Party a few weeks ago.  He's still learning to play, but we've been practicing a lot!

While we were at the ultra-sound this week, our favorite babysitter watched the boys.  Jake and Margaret made an elephant family.  I thought it was interesting that she chose a pick, polka-dotted elephant for the unknown child in our family!

We decided to skip church today and go out for a family breakfast date.  However, Real Food Cafe served us so quickly that we still went to church - and we were early!!

This is Jake getting ready to watch Mary Poppins at the DeVos Place.  Mommy had fun, Jake took and expensive nap on my lap!

Jeremy had the day off and brought the boys to PlayWorld.  I guess it's a fun place!

We had our ultrasound today!  This is a profile picture with the baby sucking it's thumb.

I just want to wake up now!

Jeremy was given some old-school Star Wars comics.  I'm not sure if Jeremy or Jake was more excited.

I got home right before bedtime to catch the boys snuggling in front of the tv.  Too cute!

Jake was "walking" Joel with a scarf.

Joel LOVES to sit at the table!

Here is where I went downhill.  My kids spent two nights at Oma and Opa's house and I didnt know what to take pictures of...plus I was working a TON.  Literally I woke up, went to work, came home, went to bed.  So, I am missing some pictures and will not make it a full year and I am ok with that!

Toast is more fun to eat if you set ON the bowl, not IN the bowl!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!

Skyping with Grandma and Grandpa!

I overheard Jake ask Daddy if they could buy Mommy a "Vadentine's Day Present" while they were out.  This is what Jake came home with for me!  Of course I will be your Valentine!

Daddy - super serious about the Calvin/Hope game.  Joel - not so much.  And they lost.

Why isn't this yo-yo working?

I think it's about time that Baby #3 gets a few pictures on this site!  Here we are at 18 weeks!

It's that time of year when I pick out a big, thick book.  This is what I let myself fall into before bed to avoid thinking about all of my tax problems that need to be solved.

Ok, a little blurry I know, but what do you expect when the boys are wrestling?

We took the boys to the park!  In February!!  They had a blast and we got to enjoy some nice weather!

This was my hug when I got home from work!

In the middle of playing "chase" with Joel, this is the look Jake decided to give the camera.

Jake is playing the air guitar here.  And standing on the table.  That is the only place I can get him to give me a nice smile when I'm takingp pictures.

Yes, it is before 7:00 pm and both kids are in bed and asleep!  This is what happens in our household on preschool days.  Too bad I wasn't far behind them!

Star Wars - Jake got this Millenium Falcon for Christmas and has slowly been filling it with Star Wars guys.  He gets a new guy for every day that he's been "good" all day.
