Sorry for our long absence from the blog. Due to illness, spousal absence, sleepless nights and life in general, blogging kept getting pushed back.So, to catch you up, here are just a few things that have happened since we last blogged on February 27.
- Jeremiah turned 6 months old and now weighs over 17 pounds.
- We sent a request to the adoption agency and our lawyer for Jeremiah’s adoption to be final. (Nebraska State Law says the child has to be in your home for 6 months before this can happen.) We don’t know our court date yet—probably in April or May sometime, but you can be sure we’ll blog about it when we do!
- Jeremiah’s dining habits have grown to include green beans, sweet potatoes, squash, applesauce, bananas and pears. So far the only one he hasn’t really liked was the green beans.
- Jon has been gone from home 10 nights (including tonight). He’s been in places like Scottsdale, AZ; Roanoke, VA; Billings, MT; and Santa Barbara, CA. Tonight, he’s in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. But don’t envy him too much—he’d rather be home.
- All three of us have battled winter colds. The doctor called Jeremiah’s illness bronchiolitis, which sounds a lot more serious than it was. It was hard to see him sick, though, and we’re glad that he’s finally over it.
- I agreed to organize a women’s tea for our church in April. I’ve already had a fun time planning with other ladies. Organizing big events/projects is one of my favorite things to do. And, of course, I just love teas!
- My parents came to visit for a few days before calving season starts in earnest and they can’t go anywhere. We had a good time shopping and just hanging out. I know Jeremiah likes spending time with both sets of grandparents—he gets loads of attention.
- Jeremiah is now walking all over the place and has said his first words. Just kidding! But he does like to put his mouth on my cheek and blow raspberries. Don’t know if he’s trying to give me a kiss or not, but it still melts my heart—and leaves my cheek rather damp.
Happy Easter, everyone. He is risen!
