Make a Smilebox scrapbook

I want to be like my cousin Moss

Jonah's cousin, Moss, has a crazy cowlick and the other night Jonah had one just like him!

 

Time to catch up

It's time to get our blog caught up with our lives.  We have had a crazy month, even past couple of months.  First, in September, I lost my wedding ring!  An antique from 1949 given to me by my great Aunt Hilde.  We have searched our house, posted a report with the sheriff....everything.  Maybe someday it will show up again.  Then a few weeks later, I lost another diamond ring that Josh gave me... I know....what's wrong with me?  We did purchase a new wedding ring, it's a beautiful blue diamond set.  Josh said that if he finds it laying around the house, that he is going to take it and I won't get it back.


At the beginning of Octoboer we headed to Colorado for a three day weekend to meet Josh's brother Jeff.  Our three day weekend became a six day debacle when the timing belt in our Subaru broke.  Turns out the engine was ruined and we had to purchase a new (used car).  We finally got back to Pinedale at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.  Jonah was a trooper the entire time.

They are a week apart in age.

 

Two weekends ago, our dog Milli, had a major accident.  While mountain biking with my girlfriend and her dog, Milli ran into a 2 foot stick.  The stick entered her on the bottom right hind leg and came out the other side.  We carried her down the mountain and took her to surgery right away.  Thankfully, she is now fine and back to her playful self.  Once she is completely healed, I intend on giving her the stick to chew to pieces.

Throughout the last month, I have been working my butt off to keep up with school.  Because I was behind, I was withdrawn from my cohort to student teach this spring.  I appealed and it was accepted, but I have to keep up because I have 20 more assignments and an exam to complete by December 15th.  Oma and Grandpa Robison will be in Pinedale for two weeks coming this Sunday, so they will get to babysit Jonah while I work hard.

In Jonah news, our little guy is doing great.  He is 11 weeks, turning 3 months old this Thursday.  He has been consitently sleeping from 10:30 p,m, to 5-6:00 a.m. since he was 9 weeks old.  He is a happy baby who loves to smile and laugh.  We are anticipating his ability to look at an object and grab it.  He has done this several times but I don't think it was intentional yet.  His neck muscles are very strong and he can support his head now.

Our little cowboy and PUMPKIN!

Here's Jonah in his cowboy hat that was my brother's.  Lookin' good.  And another:

Giddy up little doggie!  Notice Milli in the foreground.

Grandma Anderson (otherwise know as Busia) made an awesome Halloween costume for Jonah.  Because he is such a "Pumpkin," he will be a pumpkin for Halloween!  Thank you, Grandma...it fits perfectly.

                             

A few more....

Last week, Jonah went for a bike ride (via Chariot) with his friend Charlie.  Here are the daddies and their babies.

Josh, Jonah, Mitch, and Charlie

Here is one of Jonah in his Bumbo...little too small yet.

 

Snuggle time with G.G.

Last weekend we headed to Evanston to celebrate Josh's 27th birthday and to visit family.  Great grandma, Mina or "G.G.", was able to spend time with Jonah.  Grandma loves to hold Jonah.  Here are a few pictures with grandma and our dinner for Josh's birthday.

A nice family photo

Over Labor Day weekend, our parents came to visit (see previous post).  Here is a good picture of the three of us taken by Mary Ann.
