Lame-O

I am lame. I'll admit. All my photos from the holidays are nicely filed away in iPhoto. My stories from our trip still fresh on my mind. BUT I have yet to do an update since 2010 has begun. Please don't think it is coming now...I haven't the really needed time to go from start to finish in this setting. BUT I haven't forgotten my blog land. And will return eventually! :-)

Fun with iPod Touch

Jake likes to play the toddler games on my iPod. He's getting pretty good!

Graduation Soccer Tots Style

Sunday was Jake's last Soccer Tots for the year. We think he really enjoyed it. Last week, when we drove the the holiday lights at Trade Winds Park, the tour bottomed at into a slew of soccer teams practicing. Jake was proclaiming "soccer tots" all the way home. Jake had so much fun with Logan, Tyler, Sebastian, & Boston that I think we'll give the next level a try.

Here are some pics from the last "practice" and a video too.

Running around with his noodle!

Waiting his turn for stamps and stickers.

Jake & Santa

Well, it seemed like it would be a good idea. And for the 5 minutes up until he had to walk over to Santa, Jake seemed fine. He was smiling, waving, and talking up a storm. BUT then the Santa assistant pulled back the cue line and Jake looked at us and said politely, "No." So as you can see from the picture Drew and I weren't really thinking we'd have to sit in Santa's lap, but alas it was the only way for Jake to be near him and I mean, I could not even get him an inch closer!
Merry Christmas!!

Potty Time

We've been talking to Jake about the toilet for awhile now, but he really hasn't expressed any interest in sitting on it. But a few days ago, he asked to sit on the potty. And now, when I ask him him if he needs to use the potty, he says yes. I think this morning he might have used it, but he was sitting on it for so long, maybe I was starting to see yellow! Here's a picture Drew took of him. For the record, he has never asked me for anything to read when sitting on the toilet, but he asked Drew! : -) *He jumped on the couch at Miss Claudette's & busted his lip. This will delay the holiday picture....

Jake on Sunday!

Here is Jake today, Sunday, November 15, 2009... he wore his 'Noles jersey yesterday (a win) and his 'Fins jersey today (another win). This should be a weekly tradition!

Jake with Drew, checking out the new veggie sprouts.

New Garden Plantings

Last weekend, I decided to replant the garden for the fall. I added spinach, chives, onion, broccoli, beets, cucumber and kept the two eggplants (regular & ichiban). This weekend some are already sprouting. I wanted to share because I'm SO excited! I went from all seeds this time, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I see veggies.
