Let's go fly a kite!!

Gammy and Poppy got Gracie a kite to play with, but we didn't have a good place to fly it. A few days ago, the wind got so strong we decided to try flying it in the front yard. We had some successes with it going about 20 feet up in the air and then landing on our cars. But all in all, Gracie had a great time and that is what counts!! Next time, we take it to the beach!!

Our little fairy kite...her legs dangle in the breeze...so very cute!!
Thanks G & P!!

She is a pro already!

Look mom, I did it!!!

Our family has grown!!

SKYLAR ADDISON JACOBS IS HERE!!!

Our new little bundle of joy came into this world on Thursday, March 5 at 8:14 am. She weighed in at 7 pounds 14 ounces (small for our family...smallest maybe) and 19 inches long.

We are overjoyed and thrilled our family has grown! She is amazing!! Skylar looks just like big sister Gracie did when she was born, just 3 pounds smaller! Again, she is so small to us, compared to her sister. Her daddy's nickname for her came from this realization, Small Fry.

She isn't home with us yet, she is in the hospital's neonatal unit. She was born with an infection in her body and fluid in her lungs, so she has been under constant observation and care since her birth. But God is good! Her health has improved tremendously and she is scheduled to come home in just a few days!! Skylar has already earned a reputation for being the loudest in the NICU...just like her mommy, no doubt!

We will keep you all updated on her development and growth. Can't wait for you to all meet her!

latest ultrasound

I know they are a bit blurry, but here is the latest baby Jacobs picture. She is growing great and looks like she enjoys sleeping...I wouldn't know, I swear she is a soccer star already! But couldn't you just pinch those cheeks?? My doctor loved this picture because of the great face close-up. Only a few weeks left and I will be posting live pictures!!!

Baby girl Jacobs coming soon, in less than 36 days!!! Her schduled date is March 5, 2009!! Keep us in your prayers!!

My niece!! Congrats Eric and Kara

Well, my darling cousin, Kara, had her beautiful baby girl this morning!! I was so jazzed when I heard. Her due date was in a few days, so this was a nice surprise to the whole family, I am sure. And all we past or current pregnant ladies know what a relief it is to not be late!! Kara is one blessed momma!! I haven't gotten official word on her name yet, but I have my guesses...I'll update when I am sure. This beautiful little girl (who looks JUST like her daddy's baby pictures - my cousin, Eric) was born at 10:30 this morning (Jan 28) and weighed in at 8 pounds 7 ounces...a great 19 1/2 inches long, and is just the cutest!! I know, I am biased...I have been waiting almost my whole life for Eric to have kids...I always knew he would have BEAUTIFUL children, and now I have proof....this little girl is GORGEOUS!! Well, from Auntie Jori to the newly expanded Jung clan, congrats!! I love you all!! And I can't wait to meet little baby girl Jung!!! Kisses!
She is just too cute! Can't wait to pinch your cheeks, baby doll!!

PS...hope you guys don't mind me posting this...I am just too too too excited!! Big hugs!

Our mini vacation to Legoland!!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

We had such a great time in Carlsbad, CA visiting one of Brian's favorite places of all...LEGOLAND!! We spent two days exploring all the fun and interactive sites, and of course, riding rides!! Gracie was able to go on every single ride but one...she missed it by 1/2 inch, cried, of course, and we told her next time we go she'll be tall enough. She had the most fun I have seen her have in SO long!! It was great being able to tell her, yes, you can go on this one. She was so thrilled to be 4, cause that is why she can ride all the big kid rides. Kids, ain't they cute?!? It was amazing to see EVERYTHING made of Lego's. Honestly, I was expecting the potties to be Lego's too, but to my dismay, regular white toilets. But other than that, tables, umbrellas, rides, streets, everything made of Lego's. So neat and totally cool!! (Yeah, I have a bit of an inner-geek too. He's rubbing off on me!) The weather was a nice change, and we even got to go to the beach for a bit! That was a fun detour. Next time, more beach for sure. Hope you enjoyed taking a walk with us through Legoland. We had so much fun together and hope you did too.

Gracie's first day of Pre-K!!

Well, it is official!! My baby is in "school!" OK, so it is pre-K and it is only 3 days a week, but to me, right now, my baby is in school!!! She has started school at our local community center 3 mornings a week (m,w,f) from 9-12pm. They will be learning all sorts of fun things - numbers, letters, writing, reading, telling time, calendars, and my favorite, how to work together and be with other kids. Gracie has proven to Brian and I that she needs constant activity and challenges. That was a bit of a challenge to mommy, so thank goodness for this program!! She already made two new friends today, and is in class with one of her bestest friends, Preston. She was so glad to go today and see him and her teachers. Afterwards, I picked her up and we headed off to McDonald's for a treat....yogurt parfait, her fave!! That last picture is her just enjoying her special "4 year old" treat. (Her favorite new saying....I am a 4 year old now, ...) Happy first day of school to all you kiddos out there, and happy end of summer to all you mommies!!

Coming soon from a womb near you....

So we had our first ultrasound today and found out we are having a healthy baby ??? I am only 10 weeks, so we won't find out the sex for another few months, but let me tell you how relieved I was to see just one baby swimming around in there. (Jen, I know you are super mom, but I was not ready to be that much like you!! :o) ) So our due date is pretty acurate, March 14th, and I am so thrilled to have the next few months to plan for this beautiful baby!! Isn't "he/she" cute??? Look at me, a proud parent already! I also have a new doctor this time (mine retired from delivering) and she is GREAT!! I just got a great feeling when I met her and she put me completely at ease. I told her that any doctor that can make me laugh while I am in stirups, is the best doctor ever!! She agreed, you girls will get that! :o) So join with us as we keep praying for this little one, for the change in our lives which is so welcomed, and for the blessing that God has bestowed upon us. Thank you to Him for giving us this gift!!! Love to you all!!!
