Change is the theme

Jen is nearing the end of her first trimester, and we will be heading back to the Dr. for a checkup next week. She has started wearing maternity clothes, and is really getting back into the whole, being pregnant swing of things. I am working really hard on understanding what she is going through, but sometimes I am just a dumb guy and have to be reminded...


Jared and Brady still have to be reminded that they will be having a new brother or sister soon, but I suspect "next year" sounds like forever to them. The Cub Scout event year started this past weekend with the Scout picnic. The boys are now Bear Cubs, and will begin gearing up for their fall campout coming up. I recently attended the first of what will likely be many training events so that I can continue to be a leader in their Pack. It is a lot of fun for all of us, and the boys seem to get a big kick out of the fact that their Dad is their cub scout leader, and he wears a uniform too!


Cocoa is almost 1 year old, and is starting to leave most of her puppy ways behind her. She still makes mistakes now and then but they are fewer and farther between. She has really started listening much better and by the time the baby arrives, she will be fully trained!
