Back to the Future

So now that all you nonexistant people are up to speed...

We are doing very well here in Iowa. It's hard to be so far from family and friends, but we're looking forward to quite a few of them visiting soon. There are a bunch of nice LDS couples that live in our same townhouse complex, and we enjoy socializing with them, but it's so different than being home... Jeremy is halfway through his first trimester at Palmer College of Chiropractic, and enjoying himself, though it keeps him very busy. I haven't been sick much pretty much since we got here, which has been fabulous. I feel like a small whale, but other than that am doing fine. I have been working hard to try to keep our house going, catch up on lots of video editing and scrapbooking, and keep track of Reilly. Reilly is growing rapidly, and just turned 11 months. I can't believe he'll be the "big" brother in 4 short months... That will be an adventure. He army crawls and furniture walks everywhere, but we're hoping for some real walking soon, as I can't carry his 24 lb-chunkiness around AND a new baby...
He loves to eat, (obviously) loves to watch all our neighbor kids playing, and loves looking at books. He will sit for 20 minutes and turn the pages of one or two books. It's fabulous. He doesn't have quite that patience when we're actually reading to him, but you can't have everything. :)

Whoops

Meant to include these: Reilly's 10-month pictures. :)

Picture Backlog

Yes, I realize that I haven't written in here since...oh, about the time we found out Reilly was going to be a "big" brother and I subsequently got rather sick. I've been feeling better for about two months now, but we moved and I sort of forgot about this blog. That is probably because I hadn't told anyone it existed. So here's a few pictures to catch you up on us... (newest to oldest)

Here are several of Reilly here in Iowa (9 and 10 months mostly)


















Here is Reilly having his first biter biscuit at about 8 months. He hasn't had too many of those since...
















Here is my dad, Jeremy, and Reilly at Jeremy's second EA graduation back in May.











Here's one taken in late April, just after we found out I was pregnant.
