Care Package #2

I sent Jax's latest care package today. It was very hard because I wanted to include as much as possible in this package because it will be for his first birthday. It took Steve and I to get it closed.  I held it shut and he taped it! 

I'm hoping it gets to him when he goes in for his birthday party at the Holt offices. I'm worried with the hurricane hitting the east coast this weekend that travel might be slowed down a bit. 

The one good thing about care packages is that you usually get some pics of your kids with them, here's hoping there's more pics in our future!

New Photo Friday

We got 4 new pictures of Jaxson today!  Here are two of them.

One of the other ones is a picture of him with his whole foster family and the last one is of his Mongolian spots. In his latest well baby check, it was reported that he had a couple Mongolian spots on his back. We were curious and requested pictures.

Summer Projects!

There were many projects that I wanted to get done this summer.  #1 was getting the room that had been our bedroom and turning it into a toy room for Jax.  I had a lot of fun with this project. Finding ways to organize his toys. Deciding on pictures and colors, I found two great alphabet prints on etsy and framed them.  I chose a gray for the walls and I love how it turned out.  I realize that once Jax is home it will never be as clean and organized as it is now, but I don't care, I can't wait for the mess!

Mayer Camp-Out and Shower for Jax and Sophie

This past weekend, Steve and I made the trek up north for the Annual Mayer Family Camp-Out. This tradition is quickly becoming my favorite tradition. I still love Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and the Fantasy Football fish fry, but I love the campout because for three days we are all together.  That's some pretty awesome family time!

This year our family decided to have a baby shower for my sister and me.  It's amazing to me how much my family already loves Jax so much. They are so excited to meet him! 

Jax's new Hawkeye sweatsuit!

Steph and I got some amazing gifts! Jax got toys and books that I know he is going to love.  We got a space saver high chair, gift cards, and clothes. He's going to be one of the best dressed little guys around!
