Duh...I thought I Posted These...

Here are the photos that were on the cameras we sent to Harbin CWI before we traveled to pick up Jacob. In my completely unbiased opinion, he is the most adorable kid I've ever seen! ;o)

How We Spent Our August

Here are some photos of how we spent our August:

- First baseball game with Baba (LI Ducks)
- Garvies Point Museum with Aunt Joyce and Brandon
- First night in his big boy bed
- The park
- Meeting Shu Shu Pete's new puppy, Diggum
- Playing with his Build-A-Bear
- Hanging out with his cousins

We've had a fun summer.

Second Day of School, Riverhead Polish Festival & Hanging Out With Cousin Brandon

Here are some photos from Friday and the weekend. Jacob had a great time at school on Friday (and told me I didn't have to stay!). Saturday, we ventured out to Riverhead to the Polishtown Festival and Jacob had his first pony ride. Today, Aunt Joyce and cousin Brandon came over for a visit. Jacob had a great time with everyone.

Summer 2010 - Miscellaneous Photos

Jacob takes up a lot of time and I haven't been able to post as often as I'd like, so I'm lumping a lot of stuff into this post.

We have had a busy and fun summer so far. Here are some photos from our travels.

They include:

- Tom and Jacob modeling their orange peel vampire teeth;
- Photos from our local park visit;
- Playtime with Duncan and Andrew;
- M&K Alumni Party at Steve & Anna's; and
- Dean's 6th birthday family get together.

Bite Your Tongue!!

So, the other day I was out and my niece, Jessica, was trying to get Jacob to nap. Jacob decided that he had no interest in napping, but he was very interested in jumping up and down in the crib and laughing.

Click here to see how well that turned out. He bit a nice big divot into his tongue and got blood all over the place, scaring the absolute crap out of my niece and himself in the process.

One would assume that he would learn from this experience, but no, he decided he wanted to jump around in the crib today when I put him down for his nap, until I told him to stick out his tongue, took a couple of pictures and showed him what he had done the last time he decided to jump where he's not supposed to.

First Day of Montessori

Jacob had his first day of Montessori pre-school today. It was just for a couple of hours, until he has bonded with someone there and I feel comfortable leaving him.

He had water time fun, story and song time and lunch. Tomorrow he goes back in the afternoon; I'm not quite sure what they are going to have planned.

Here are some pictures of him on his way, at the school and after we got home.

He decided when we got home that all of the cars in the bay window had been bad and were in need of a time out. There's a couple of shots of them all lined up being punished. Pretty funny.

More tomorrow...

Poor Neglected Blog

Sorry, blog, but your main subject takes up ALL of my time and I've been neglecting you. Dear blog, to help ease your pain, here are some videos of Jacob from when we were in China.

To those of you who get to see Jacob, you really see how well his English has progressed just by watching these videos. He's a pretty amazing kid and we are lucky to have him.
