Coming This April

Who does this boy look like?

Since the day Jude was born, he has been a "Daddy Look-A-Like" according to everyone, including myself; however, I think the tables are starting to turn. People think I'm crazy, but I can definately start to see more of me in him each day. Here's a pic of me way back when..

Leavin' on a Jet Plane

I do know when I'll be be back again...Sunday night hopefully! I leave today to travel to the big city of Boston...without my little Jude and hubby Abe :( I'll miss them to death, but am excited to travel around the big city for a few days. A little nervous, but excited! I'm staying at the Westin Waterfront, which appears to be a pretty neat hotel in the center of downtown. Meetings will consume my Saturday and Sunday a the Wang Theater and Boston Convention Center, but hopefully I can squeeze in some sight-seeing :)

Rainy Weekend

I think I still feel dirty today from wearing my silly flip flops through rain and mud all weekend long. We did brave the Morton Pumpkin Festival Friday night with Ruggard's and Millers..Jude thoroughly enjoyed the pumpkin ice cream; so much so that we had to take some from Joy's cup when his was finished! The downfall was, the rain and nasty, muddy ground! Saturday we traveled to Gridley to catch up with Aunt Carrie and Grandma/Grandpa and in the evening I attended my 10-year class reunion! That's right--10 years! Fun to catch up with old classmates. I did attend solo, as Abe was in Des Moines for a bach party. Sunday we spent the majority of the day INSIDE! Sorry no pictures from the weekend, however tonight Jude was out in full force.. It was like a dog let out of his pen after days. He was running around the yard like a Ya Who (mom would say something like that, right Car). Anyway, we were all happy for a break from the rain.

Baby Massage

When Jude was a few months old, we attended a few Baby Massage classes. We never thought it would turn into this. He now uses a battery-operated, hand-held, massage devices to soothe his head! Actually, Abe taught him. Abe has always loved to have his head rubbed; or for someone to do it for him. It's rubbing off on Jude.

Longing for Labor Day

Doesn't it seem like when you work; you long for the upcoming holiday, simply because it means a day off! This Labor Day, we spent in Gridley at Gree and Grockey's. Here are two of the chefs, preparing what would be a splendid breakfast!All the family & friends gathered around enjoying the food!
Jude had a great time with cousins, Chase and Ty.

It started out that Chase was pulling Jude around in this tractor. I knew eventually that Jude would become too heavy for him, even though he insisted on doing it.

As you can see, Aunt Katie had to take over!
