Visiting the Reulands

We were lucky that the Reuland family made a trip to Corning so we could see them. Jake and Francie were very happy to hang out together. However, Francie is a walking (really running) machine so Jake couldn’t keep up when she was on the move. This was ok with Jake because he was happy to just watch her. Henry kicked my butt at memory (No I did not let him win). What a really smart kid! It was GREAT to see the entire Reuland family. A big thanks to Kris and Joe for letting Jake and I stay there.

Uncle Dave completed the Lake Placid half marathon in 2:06. He cut 11 minutes off his time from last year. Next year he plans to run in under 2 hours at the young age of 50. You go Uncle Dave! Jake was so happy when Uncle Dave gave him his medal after the race.

Jimmy and Jessica's Wedding

We spent a great weekend with family in Lake Placid for Jimmy and Jessica’s wedding. There were 16 adults and five kids all under the age of 5 in one house. It was a blast and we are all still talking to each other. The kids played really well together.
Lucky for us Sara watched Jake when we were at the wedding and came back the next day to hang out. Jake also got his first exposure to a worm and loved it. I guess he gets that from his mother. I use to torment my babysitters by catching worms and chasing them around with them. I will apologize now to all of Jake future babysitters because it appears he loves to touch worms too.

Standing Up

The day after we got back from our trip I found Jake standing up in his crib. He scales the walls, couch, and anything else he can to stand up. He needs to work on his stability so someone has to be right behind him to catch him when he falls. He also has two teeth now.

We had a great trip to Switzerland and Germany. I will post pictures of the trip soon.
