stats of our boys

Now that we are parents of two boys people often ask how big was Andrew when he was Jacob's age.  I thought I would dedicate this post to our boys and just see how different and similar they are!  Its interesting because they are very similar in height and weight for the first year of their lives.

babies babies everywhere!

It seems everytime I turn around, the past few months, someone I know is having a baby :-)  Since we have two kids ourselves I know how great it is to not have to worry about meals.  Last year after we had Jacob, many of our friends brought over meals.  Well my friend Amy brought over BBQ meatballs and cheesy potatoes.  It was awesome.  Naturally John wanted me to get the recipe and since then I tend to make this meal when people I know have a baby.  It also makes a ton so I get a two for one meal.

funny Target story

So today I was in Target looking for a bathing suit.  I see this woman around my age looking for one as well.  I hear her say, "well that's a bit skimpy don't you think?"  I look up and I don't see her talking to anyone.  I then walk around the rack and I see her daughter whose about 3 or 4 holding a bikini top.  The mom then says, "oh is that for you?"  The little girl walks away and says, "no, I don't have any boobies."  I about lost it.
