About Us

Welcome....This is the story of our family. As the parents of a 3-year old and an 12-year old we are on a non-stop journey through life that includes diapers, teething, soccer, and middle school. Believe it or not, the latter seems to be the most difficult.

Do Re Mi......

Jacob has always loved music and now he wants to share it with everyone. So turn up the volume and enjoy this rousing rendition of Do Re Mi, okay so maybe not rousing but definitely too cute to pass up.

And The Travel ENDS!

David began his new career today as a Senior Systems Analyst at Qualcomm (not the stadium :)). He will be working with their travel and expense software at their office in San Diego. Why is this so important??? Well that means that there is no more travel for him! YEAH! It has been 9 years since I was able to say that. Although he has enjoyed his trips around the globe he is ready to be close to home for a while. We are all very excited that we will be able to have dinner together each night and that daddy will be there to tuck Rebekah & Jacob into bed. Good Luck to him!

Our First Trip to The Dentist

Well the time finally came....Jacob needed to go see the dentist for his first cleaning. It's hard to believe that Rebekah has been visiting our dentist since she was Jacob's age. I was a little worried because Jacob had been going through a stage where he doesn't want to open his mouth to brush his teeth or let anyone look at them. However, he made us proud. He sat in the dental chair on my lap without an issue, he let the hygienist brush, floss and rinse his teeth. He even let her suck the water out of his mouth with the sucky straw. But what amazed me most was that he let them take x-rays of his teeth! He was such a great little patient. When he was done he let the dentist poke at his teeth and waited very patiently for his new toothbrush and toothpaste. The dentist said that, with the exception of Rebekah, he had never had a two-year old sit so still for such a thorough cleaning. The one thing that did come up though was that apparently Jacob is missing a tooth, the x-rays show that the adult teeth are all there but one of the baby teeth never developed.

But Mommy........

the bumble bee was CUTE. That is the latest explanation from Jacob as to how he ended up with a bee sting. Let me start from the beginning...Today as I was heading off to an appointment I got a call from Jacob's daycare asking if Jacob is allergic to bee stings, knowing that Michael (my sisters son) and Tamie (my sister) are both allergic to bee stings I was worried. Apparently my son picked up the bee because it was cute. How he caught the bee is still a mystery to us, this is his second time catching a bee and last week he caught a fly. He has absolutely no fear of bugs, very unlike his sister at this age. The bee sting did not affect Jacob whatsoever, he didn't cry, wince, or even bat an eye. His fingered swelled a little but no other symptom, so obviously he is not allergic to bees.

Here is Jacob showing his finger, he has no idea why everyone is so concerned with his finger.
