Spring Update

The Bouses have been busy this past month! (Apologies for not updating the blog sooner.) Things are in full swing with Adam at Conner Prairie. I (Stacey) started working part-time at the beginning of April, so Jack and I have been adjusting to our new schedule. Jack also started going to a new daycare, which he has been loving, and he has been enjoying/tolerating storytime with me. He's also talking a lot more these days - favorite words are "outside" & "Beth" (our neighbor). He tries to say "cup" but it's comes out "puh", and he's mastering "milk" and "book", but the K sound comes out really funny-sort of sounds like he's speaking Hebrew. I'll have to get it on video sometime :) Here are some cute photos of Jack from the past month or so.

Adam bought Jack a tee ball set

Jack doesn't get it quite yet

We had a family trip to the Muncie Children's Museum

And to the library (can't you tell??) Jack was really excited about the vending machines, stopped, and said "Cheese!"

Just being cute & silly at home

I love it when Jack puts on sunglasses. So freakin' cute! Even if they are upside down :)

Enjoying breakfast with mommy - eating out of the frying pan he brought from the kitchen. (I have to be creative & flexible sometimes...this staying-at-home stuff is an adjustment for me, too!)

Jack has also figured out crafty ways to get to things on the countertops (like Daddy's homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie.) Here he has opened the cabinet and pulled out the bottom drawer to stand on. Crafty.

After just a few weeks of this part-time business, I got to go away for a Girls' Weekend with these beautiful ladies. (Beth, Carolyn and Darbi) Carolyn's folks have a little cottage near Lake Michigan, so we were able to go there and relax for a few days. It. was. awesome. We ate tons of junk food and watched a few chick flicks. Most of Saturday was spent touring open houses of cottages for sale. Well, not just "cottages" - $3 million Lake-front homes! Fun fun fun!
