I am avoiding packing our bags for Greece. We are pretty much ready, with all our stuff sitting just outside of the suit cases. All that needs to happen is someone needs to put the stuff into the bags. I make it sound like I am not ecstatic to go, but I am. I am just not as ecstatic about the long flight we have tomorrow. I am praying Corban will find it enjoyable :)
Here are some pictures to tell our tale of the past 2 weeks:

Two Wednesday's ago Corban got really sick. Though it isn't fun to have your child hurt, it is really nice to be able to just lay around with him all snugly-like. I love pictures of these two sleeping together!

Even Nika got in the fun of lounging around.

One of Corban's favorite things to do is put this bucket on his head and walk around. It is hilarious because he looks like an alien. I am sorry I don't have a better picture.

Jared cut out our hot tub so we could build and plant a garden. This happened last weekend.

We had a baby shower for Jamie Heusser at our house. There were more children than adults, so we fixed up the backyard for them. Jared built the beautiful sturdy fence in the background on the evening we decided to move the shower to our house due to a bee infestation at Kim Garcia's. What a husband! It is times like these, at a moment’s notice, that it is such a blessing to have a husband that is a handy man...in more ways than one. The day of the shower he watched all the kids!

This was a picture of only a few of the kids that played in the yard while we women enjoyed getting to know Jamie. Aren't they adorable! They could all be little farm animals in our corral. You need to take note of the sink in this picture compared to the previous picture. Somewhere along the way the original faucet got a clog that wasn't repairable. So Jared rigged up this high class faucet- 2 spouts with twice the power. There were kids surrounding the sink the entire afternoon. Another reason why my husband is amazing!

He is just enjoying our view.

A new game Jared and Corban like to play. Corban brings the ball to daddy…

And daddy throws it high up in the air. Corban goes and gets it and the game goes on and on.

Still enjoying the view. That's mommy at about 28 weeks (6 1/2 months for those who don't like to do the math).

Corban surprised me with this new trick he can do at the fence. We were gardening on the other side so he wanted to join us.

And this is what we accomplished this weekend- garden fully planted! And now Christine Done will tend it while I am away for 3 weeks. Looking forward to telling you all about our travels in Greece!

oh, I hope the flight is smooth for you guys. so jealous that you are going and can't wait to see pictures!! I love your garden too. You guys are so fabulous! fabulous people, parents!
Wow! what great pictures! I haven't read your blog in awhile, thinking that you were probably too busy to post, so what a treat to see all these awesome pictures! The fence is going to be a lifesaver. Jared gets his skills and confidence to "do" from his dad, who thinks he can do anything, and it's true.
The fence and garden look great! I love how you did the garden. I hope it's easy enough to reach in the middle for weeds. I LOVE CA for the gardens... so easy! Water it, and anything will grow (although our oregano didn't survive). The fence looks great! I was thinking more along the lines of a fence with slats--a lot more wood. This is great b/c you still have the views. What a handy-man! :) Love you guys and miss you.
I'm now going to read about Greece. Hope you're having fun!
