We are excited and looking forward to sleepless nights again! LOL! We did a family photo shoot with Sarah Franczyk from Franczyk Photography a few weeks ago and took a couple to announce our news to everyone. <div><br />

Natalie was born in May and she's just the sweetest baby...it was so fun to see them and meet her! We met for lunch at Friday's and were able to catch up for an hour or so with the girls. I generally don't order Ava her own kid's meal because I never know what she's going to eat but today decided to get her the grilled chicken tenders on pita bread with a side of fruit. She literally ate like 3 bites of pita bread and nothing else except the cup of milk it came with (except for a handful of my french fries). Really glad I paid $4 for that.<br />

She says all kinds of things and is repeating and imitating all the time now too. Some of her favorites: "dog" (she constantly points at dogs and says "dog" and "woof woof" over and over...plus the woof woof she uses her whole body to say it), "HI!", "Buh-bye", "Uh-oh". She points to her own nose, mouth, eyes, ears, etc and to ours now as well and says those things....nose sounds like no with a cute inflection in her voice. I asked her to say belly button yesterday and she did pretty good with that one, surprisingly, since there are quite a few syllables! She knows that dogs say "woof woof", ducks say "cack cack" and cats say "meow" (kind of). She tries to say Bella sometimes and dada/daddy sounds like a lot of different things. Her favorite expression is "that guy" (that's what it sounds like she's saying at least) and I think it means what's that or something along those lines because she often points while saying it. She repeated "stinker" after me the other day (guess we're really going to start having to watch what we say!) I'll have to get some of these on video soon and post them because the way she says things really is adorable!Rachel and Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178160153681778447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152408030934538322.post-71789967955978743742011-05-17T20:59:00.000-05:002011-05-17T20:59:28.546-05:00Val's Wedding<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2cyMpWKC6o/TdMkTCO19DI/AAAAAAAAAps/rUAUBNJL0Hg/s1600/DSCN1564.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-I2cyMpWKC6o/TdMkTCO19DI/AAAAAAAAAps/rUAUBNJL0Hg/s320/DSCN1564.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We flew to Leesburg, Virginia for the wedding on Thursday and stayed until Sunday. Friday, I went to go get manis and pedis with Val's mom, sisters, and soon to be mother-in-law and we had a great time. Friday evening was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner and Saturday was the wedding. She was a beautiful bride and I'm so happy her her and her new husband, AJ, as they begin their lives together!Rachel and Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178160153681778447noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152408030934538322.post-7953285949494954322011-05-09T22:52:00.000-05:002011-05-09T22:52:56.396-05:00Visit with Becca, Delaney, and Geoff<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-icoC3WcGlCw/TcingZGOXbI/AAAAAAAAApY/UhPUgsnVlwI/s1600/DSCN1465.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-icoC3WcGlCw/TcingZGOXbI/AAAAAAAAApY/UhPUgsnVlwI/s320/DSCN1465.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Becca, Geoff, and Delaney came to Des Moines to visit us again in April. Becca and I have a scrapbooking weekend normally once a year here in Des Moines. They came to town on Friday night and we <a href="http://www.getinspiredscrap.com/">scrapbooked </a>all day (9am-midnight) on Saturday while the boys watched the little girls. On Sunday, we went to church, went out to lunch at Felix and Oscars (one of Jamie's favorite places to eat at when he used to work at the Merle Hay Cinema in high school) and got delicious pizza, and then went to the mall and walked around in the afternoon. We were glad they decided to stay Sunday night as well so we could have the day to hang out, especially since they are moving to Cleveland soon. :( We will have to find a new location for our yearly scrapbooking weekends!</div>Rachel and Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178160153681778447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152408030934538322.post-53358884525790925882011-04-21T22:37:00.002-05:002011-04-21T22:37:56.646-05:00Random Ava-April<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yp1rZnJhI-w/TbDZb1tT7UI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/DGGNKWjsTKw/s1600/DSCN1430.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Yp1rZnJhI-w/TbDZb1tT7UI/AAAAAAAAAoQ/DGGNKWjsTKw/s320/DSCN1430.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

Luckily for us, Manda enjoys organizing and helping others throw things away. Jamie ended up with the stomach flu during the night last night so he was out of commission for today but they still came over and helped me for a couple hours during Ava's nap (which I may add was 3.5+ hours...poor girl has a cold again).<br />
<br />
I didn't realize how many empty boxes I had actually saved until we started pulling them out and Bryan started breaking them down. I'm definitely a "saver" but I've been in a mood lately to want to purge and get rid of things. I have some "after" pictures (no before pictures, sorry) but if you had seen the space we cleared and organized before, you would be impressed. You really couldn't even walk into the space before we started.<br />

She is the only one who is awake today and she is just chatting away with us. We know she's supposed to be calming down but it's so cute and funny!" Who would have thought our daughter would be the chatterbox at daycare!Rachel and Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178160153681778447noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152408030934538322.post-38550385683087084462011-01-04T17:38:00.000-06:002011-01-04T17:38:05.990-06:00Happy New Year!It's a new year and of course it's time for resolutions and writing 2010 for the next 2 months. I'm going to try to be more organized in the coming year and get a new planner that I can just refill every year. Also I want to de-clutter and simplify our life a little more by cleaning out closets and the basement and getting rid of some of the extra "stuff" in our life. I want to teach Ava more sign language so she can better communicate with us too. And of course the obligatory "I want to lose weight" resolution. I always want to do that...wish I had more time to work out, I really do enjoy it once I start getting back into the habit of exercising. We're hoping to get a treadmill sometime in the future but are looking for a deal on a used one (since they generally don't get much use we figure a used one is almost as good as a $500 new one).<br />
<br />
I'm also hoping for some things in 2011, some of which include:<br />
1. The townhouse selling<br />
2. Getting our financial situation back on track<br />
3. Figuring out where the Lord wants us and if my plans align with His for our future<br />
<br />
Here's to 2011!Rachel and Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178160153681778447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152408030934538322.post-17304677869429404162010-12-18T23:53:00.010-06:002011-01-16T00:01:23.393-06:00Christmas ProjectsMy sister came to visit right before Christmas and we worked on a Christmas project to give as gifts to some people. They're magnets made from colorful papers and small glass beads. I also made dipped pretzels for Ava's daycare teachers.<br />

She was so tired she could barely stay awake while eating! I ended up leaving her in her high chair for about 15 minutes and then finally put her to bed.Rachel and Jamiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06178160153681778447noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152408030934538322.post-5781345749006655422010-07-06T22:33:00.009-05:002010-07-06T22:46:53.006-05:00Homemade Baby FoodI've decided to make some of Ava's baby food. I've bought a couple books and have enjoyed reading how I can make her food healthier than just giving her jarred food. Don't get me wrong, I'm still giving her jars of some things because there is just not enough time in the day to do what I really want to do. So far, I've made sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, broccoli, peaches, apples, and apricots that I've frozen and then also given her fresh banana, avocado, and blueberries.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EW1PPHObRCw/TDP2zdzglhI/AAAAAAAAAc8/PkaDDAZZvGc/s1600/DSCN0500.JPG"><img style="display: block;
