My Very Own Bubble Boy

Who knew that bath bubbles could be so much fun? I have to say...this kid cracks me up!

And Baby Makes 4.....

Well...it's official. Jacob is going to be a big brother. I am a little over 11 weeks pregnant and SO EXCITED!!!! We went to the doctor today, and with what happened last time, had so much anxiety, we could all barely stand it. The doctor looked for a heartbeat, but I was so nervous that he couldn't tell between mine and the baby's. Luckily, he pulled in the ultra-sound machine, and there "it" was. Our little peanut! Baby Wegener was swimming around in there like a champ! Tears of joy were definately flowing! We are all so happy and feeling very blessed. So now the count down starts for Wegener #2's arrival...due date: November 3rd, 2008.

He's just so LITTLE...

The past weekend I had the chance to go and visit my new nephew, Cooper and his lovely parents. Everyone is doing so well...the little man is eating like a champ and his mom is getting around like a super-star. Not bad after a C-Section! I spent most of my visit holding this little bundle of joy (explaining to him that I was his favorite aunt and practicing saying "Aunt Christy"--he's almost there, I swear, he's very advanced :) Anyways, I couldn't get over how small he is....and he really isn't. He was 8lbs 10 oz at birth. I think back to when I brought Jacob home and I can't believe that Jacob was 2lbs smaller...it seems like a different lifetime ago. It will be so fun to see Cooper grow up...to see who's personality he has, to see who he looks like (we've decided he's got my ears....is that possible?), and to see him play with his big cousin Jacob. Cooper Dallen...I just love you to pieces. Welcome to the world big guy!

My Nephew!!!

I am excited to report that I am officially Aunt Christy!!! My baby brother, Craig, (who, okay, really isn't a baby anymore, but you know what I mean) and his lovely wife Allison had a beautiful baby boy on April Fools Day. I originally thought it may be a prank, but quickly realized that it was in fact the truth. My sister-in-law worked hard in delivery, but eventually delivered via C-Section an 8lb 10oz baby boy who they named Cooper Dallen Parks. I'm very proud and can't wait to meet the little guy. I am determined to be his favorite Aunt (Abby...I know I have competition:), so wish me luck!

1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt

In true Easter Bunny Fashion, we successfully hosted our 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Although the weather really didn't cooperate...we "hid" eggs inside instead. We invited Jacob's girlfriend, Lucy, and Lucy's cousin, Hayden to take part in the festivities. Since all the kids are 2 and under, you can see the extent of the "hiding", but they had a good time scooping up the eggs and putting them in their buckets.

Of course my Jacob was all about picking up the eggs...I think it stems from the "neat freak" gene that his Daddy passed down to him! All in all everyone had a blast and got lots of fun trinkets and trash in their Easter Eggs. Hopefully next year we'll be able to do it outside.

All Rise....

Ugh....so today I had my first experience with Jury Duty. I'd never done anything like that...and I have to say, I was very nervous about the whole thing. It went on FOREVER!!!!! Just when I thought that I'd made it through, my name got called. It was like an out of body experience...I was so scared....who knows why, it's not like I did anything wrong! So I go and answer my questions, and just my luck, I get picked. Josh thinks it's hilarious and that I'm serving my civic duty....and he's right, but I'm still terrified. Now I have to go back for the next 2 days and do Juror things, whatever those are. All I could do was to not laugh during court cuz I kept hearing the Judge Woppner (is that how you spell it?) theme song...you know you know what I'm talkin' about.

Home Sweet Home

Well....today we signed the purchase agreement for a new house!!! It's a very exciting and expensive day :) We've been looking for awhile, mostly at vacant land, so we could build a home, but stumbled on this one and couldn't pass it up. Our major motivator was to get into a different school district, and this house put us squarely in Buchanan schools...PERFECT!!! The house sits on 10 acres of woods and is mostly what we wanted, so we took the plunge. Now the challenge is to sell our house and plan the big move. Looks like many obstacles ahead, but somehow I know things will work out.

I can't wait for moving day!!!
