The Verhoeven's: September 2009

Things I am thankful for:

A beautiful family. Wow, has my life changed in the last 3 years. I have a wonderful husband and two amazing, beautiful children!

Healthy, healing feet. After second and third degree burns which led to skin graft surgery, Jacob is running around and acting like an average toddler! Thank you everyone who has kept him in your thoughts and prayers.

Successful nursing. We’ve made it to our three month milestone and we’re still doing great!

Lots and lots of smiles & laughter.

An awesome husband. I think Juno’s dad says it best: “Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.”

Peaceful moments. Sleeping babies, so sweet. And quiet.

Mike and Jacob got out in the backyard to plant one of our baby trees. Jacob had a blast and enjoyed watering the tree and playing in the dirt. We'll be planting about 5 or 6 more in the following weeks.

Emma is growing like a weed. I can't believe she is already three months old! Where has the time gone??

She is rolling over back to belly and belly to back with ease. The second you lay her on her back she instantly rolls to her tummy. It's actually quite funny. She's also trying to roll over while I'm changing her clothes or diaper. Fun times!

She's also teething like crazy. I'm sure she'll be just like Jacob and cut her first few teeth next month!

Here are some random pictures of the little ones:

Jacob dancing in the bedroom.

Here is Jacob jumping in the camera. I was trying to get a shot of Emma, but Jacob jumped in and the camera focused on him. This is probably one of my favorite pictures ever.

Rolling over...

Nick & Jen are married! We made a trip down to Florida to see them tie the knot. It was a very beautiful wedding! Unfortunately, this is the best shot I got. They all came out dark or blurry... Hopefully we'll be able to get some better pictures from them!

Can you believe Jacob will be two in TWO days?! Ahh! My little baby won't be a baby anymore :( While we were down in Florida last month we celebrated his birthday a little early so family could be there. We had a great time! The theme was Thomas the Train. Jacob is obsessed with trains lately! Out of all the presents he got, his train books were his favorite :)
