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!




(There's the Lake!)

We are Alive

How about some pictures?





This is Jack and his cousin Oliver hanging out at their grandparents house.



This is Jack in his first blanket-tent.




One night, we discovered that Jack decided to take off his own pajamas before falling asleep.



And now for the Easter montage.

First Snow

Last week, Jack headed out to play in the snow for the first time. We ended up getting a little more than a foot of the white stuff. Jack didn't love it, but he didn't hate it either. Being really cold mixed with wearing 17 layers and mittens makes for an even less coordinated 18-month-old than usual.

Such a Fun Little Guy

Nothing special here - just "working" from home today. So I thought I'd post something.

Here's a fun little video of Jack playing with the Wii. He has no idea what he is doing, but he loves to wave the remote and yell, 'Go!




And here he is hiding around the corner. Just cute.
