I can't believe it's the last day of July. I go back to work tomorrow. Just for three days, but I can't believe it's time for me to go back already. The time has just flown by. Jay will be three months old on Tuesday and it doesn't feel that he should be that old! I am always amazed at what he can do and all of the smiles we can get out of him. He is a wonderful addition to our family!
I am looking forward to being done with work. I love to spend my time with Jay and am looking forward to continue to watching him grow! I am still looking for a medical transcription position to help with finances. I know everything will work out! For now, I am very happy with where my life is and am happy to know we have the support of both of our families and our friends!

Meeting Family
This last weekend we made a whirlwind trip to eastern Iowa. Jason didn't get off of work until 7pm, so we got a late start Friday night. The plan was to get to Miles around 11:30 that night. Unfortunately, once we hit Tama, it started to rain and lightning. Lots of lightning. Enough so that we decided to stay in Olin overnight.
We pushed on to Miles the next morning with some sweet corn from Olin in tow. We met up with Grandma Rosie, Grandpa Bubby, Jamie and Allegra at Pizza Ranch for supper. We left Miles the Sunday afternoon and stopped in Olin to pick up our basket we left for them to use. After some holding of the baby and packing up some sweet corn for ourselves (Thanks!), we headed back to Ames and the comfort of our own home.
It was a splendid weekend and I am very thankful Jay was able to meet more of his great-grandparents. We were able to spend some time with Jasper and Mason since Jamie and her three went to Mom and Dad's. There wasn't enough time to visit everyone, and it was hot, sticky and cloudy most of the weekend. No swimming in Mom and Dad's pool for us! There was lots of holding and snuggles though. Jay is very lucky to have such a wonderful family who loves him very much!
We found out that Jay likes to direct songs. We watched the "Music Man" and he had a blast. Mom helped him with his directing. (The video is dark because of where they were sitting in the living room.)

Welcome Back!
Our friends Jeff and Micheal are back from Spain, permanently. Jason picked them up in Des Moines and stopped by the house before driving them up to Mason City. We are very happy to have them closer to us once again. They did say they will be visiting people during this week and next since they have been gone for six years. We very happy to have them back!
