Well let's see...the weather was nice for a while so we started working in the yard. Jacob is building us 2 raised vegetable garden beds, which I am very excited about. I got some tomato plants started and they are now about 2.5 inches tall. We are going to have tomatos, pepper, onions, cucumbers, yellow squash, zuchinni, pumpkins, carrots and herbs. The perfect garden for making lots of salsa and hopefully we'll get some good jars of tomatos canned. I can't wait!
My sister came to visit for a few days before she starts work. It's always fun having her here with us. Jerry loves it. He would wake up first thing in the morning and ask for her and would want to wake her up. She didn't get to sleep in much. Last Wednesday I took Jerry to Holly for a week. Jenna also went down and stayed there too. It was nice spending time with the family. Jerry had a lot of fun. He got a haircut from Aunt Amber, which makes him look like such a big boy. He got to watch his cousins Caleb and Cooper wrestle and then he got to go fishing with them. Jerry thought that was pretty fun. Caleb helped Jerry real in a few fish and a couple sticks too. He loved fishing but didn't like touching the fish, he would say yucky. We also went out to Aunt Linda's house for an afternoon. That's always fun since she has chickens, cows, horses and lots of cats. Jerry even got to collect eggs from the chicken coop. Linda taught us how to make her yummy pizza (my favorite) and we all enjoyed a few slices. Jerry also spent an afternoon with Uncle Josh and Aunt Amber terrorizing their cat and Waldo (their little dog). He always has fun with them.
It was a great week seeing family and friends but Daddy was ready to see his little boy (and me). He said it felt like we were gone a month. We were ready to see him too. He had a few surprises for us when we got home. He put tile in Jerry's bathroom and got me a new iphone. We had carpet in the bathroom before and this just wasn't going to work having a little boy around so now I'm going to start working with him on standing when he goes potty. (I'll be stocking up on cherrios!) The bathroom looks great, I was really impressed. I'll get pictures and post them soon. And I love my new iphone:) But the best part of all was just coming home to a loving husband and father. Jerry was very excited to see his Daddy. A week did feel like a month without Jacob.
