Chuggin' along




Crazy to think Tim will be home in a little less than 2 months. He will be leaving for 6 weeks or so at the beginning of the year, but he will make it home for Thanksgiving! We all all doing pretty well. Tim is of course, excelling at everything he is doing and learning. I am of course, staying up until Jimmy Fallon, and not waking up to an alarm clock. But the garbage has made it to the street without fail since he has been gone. So 3 stars for me.

My mom has been spending most weekends with us for the last several weeks. It has been nice to have someone to chat with at night ( I have been missing that). She is a furniture whiz, so she has refinished my front porch benches; and she is helping me refinish an oak cabinet I have has since I was about 8.


Jairus is growing to be an interesting mix of Tim and I. He LOVES books, and we usually read 30 minutes to an hour a day. Like Tim, he enjoys figuring things out. Jairus is loud at home, and sometimes other places. He is turning into quite the joker!








I got a couple good shots, then he figured out what I was doing... So he posed.












I love sneaking up on him when he does not know I am looking. He was reading out loud to himself, and singing.











He heard the flash of the camera, so he posed again!

The Jairus Eben Variety Show





The first three are variations of his favorite knock knock jokes. The last one is Jairus explaining what to do if you get frustrated.
