Jonathan is very thankful for the hammock Uncle Richie and Aunt Liz gave us. We put it up a couple of weekends ago and he really really enjoyed it. It's right next to the lake behind our house. He stayed in it for awhile and loved to watch Gibbs run underneath it. As long as we can keep Gibbs from using it as a doggie bed we will be ok!
Bath time has become our most favorite time of the day! Our dear friends the Hayes bought us the rubber ducky bathtub that is used to help transition little ones to sitting up while in the tub. Jonathan loves it!! He kicks his feet and giggles when we make the duck quack (which it really does). Everyday he is growing and changing. I know this may sound redundant but it truly is amazing how much our love grows for him daily! I love being a mom and really believe it's the best job out there!

Jonathan's First Vacation


For Peter's recent vacation we were able to slip away to the Hamblen Bay House to introduce Jonathan to the Chesapeake Bay, boats and crabs. We had wonderful weather and the house was perfect as always. The only negative was that Mom was being over protective and wouldn't let Jonathan go tubing.


Gibbs thinking about what life would be like as a wild animal

Enjoying the boat with Grandma. Yes, that is a bunny hat.

Deep thoughts with Great Grandma Bea.
After the Bay House we were able to spend Easter with the Dean family. It was a wonderful celebration of Christ's ressurection and the dinner was great with the whole Dean family, Jennine Christie, the Mears and the Leachmans. No surprise the only pictures we have from the whole dinner are of Jonathan.
