Life at the Lamers......


..............is wonderful! We have not been great at updating everyone, but we are just living life!
Most recently Honey was here to visit and will most likely be returning very soon with Aunt D (like tomorrow)! The sadness in Jerome's face when he realized that Honey was gone was overwhelming. He loves his Honey and that cannot be denied!
Elliot is taking strides in directions that I am not so comfortable with my baby going. He is growing up!!! He sits up, crawls, pulls himself to a standing position and has even started cruising furniture. He is eating anything and everything and loves it. If only I could get his older brother to eat like he does! Elliot is a wiggle worm extraordinaire. He doesn't like to sit still for much other than eating. He plays great on his own. He is under constant study of his brother and learning all he can.
Jerome just loves to play outside. He is a young boy now. No longer a baby at all. He loves to help me clean around the house and he loves to walk around in big people shoes. He brings a smile to my face many, many, many times a day.
My belly is growing and growing and little wee one inside is moving all over the place. I love feeling the flutters and kicks again. What an incredible realization of life within me!
Jon is doing well in his new line of work. He has accepted a position in HR with a computer systems company. It has been a transition for all of us to have him out of the house, but we are thankful for the new position. It makes our time with him in the mornings and evenings all the more special. The boys are truly loving their Dada time - where they wrestle, run, and tickle each other.
Hope you're all well!
Elliot just doing his thing with Noah's Ark!

Elliot can hold his own bottle..............big boy!

This is how Elliot wakes us up every morning - his little bed is at the end of our bed. What a wonderful way to wake up!


Jerome is concentrating on something very seriously

Sweet and precious Elliot

Brothers

Hard to get a smile out of this boy

Oh.....there's one! :)

And he's off!

What an enjoyable time at the Johnson's cabin for 4th of July!

Jerome really enjoyed playing in the sand and water.
