After a crazy, fun, busy week of construction with the Packards we took a few days to work hard and get our kitchen to a very livable stage. Then, our bodies started giving out and we got less and less done each day--we also had to do our school work which didn't help. To celebrate our new kitchen we invited the Petersen's down to play and take a break. Instead they came in asking how they could help us finish up. They are amazing! So, we have relaxed and played but also got some of our finishing up jobs done! As a matter of fact Joe is just now finishing up the floor. It is awesome!

While working/shopping today we learned that there were tigers at the mall. Yes, if you can believe that there were tigers at the mall in Galesburg. So, we did a quick clean up and headed right over! I mean after all how can you pass up live tigers less than a mile away.

We arrived and the boys (and girls) were very excited to see all of these beautiful baby tigers. The oldest was 6 months old and pretty big for such a youngster. Then, we learned that they will let you pay to go in and play with the little ones. Well, with my little animal lovers I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. So, here are some fun pictures. I am pretty sure that Jacob and Collin loved it the most and the tigers loved them too! They are very soft and playful. It was a great trip and a great weekend!

All in the Eyes

Jaime Lynne is the little light of our lives. Her sleep schedule even makes sure we are up before the real sun comes up, so we are sure to give her credit for being out little sunshine. It is so much fun to watch her grow and progress. I know you have all already experienced it, multiple times, but everyday is something totally new to me.

Jaime Lynne is getting better at entertaining herself. She plays with her toys, sitting on the floor by her toy tubs, taking the toys out one at a time, ever so carefully. In the mornings we all go to the closest university and exercise. Jaime Lynne sits in her stroller and watches us, or butterflies, or people passing, and is perfectly content. We get our exercise in, then take her home for breakfast and her morning nap. I am usually gone to work before she wakes up form her nap.

Going home is my favorite part of the day, because Jaime Lynne stops whatever she is doing, and smiles her wide, squinting smile just for Daddy. Yeah, pretty much the best thing in the whole world!

We are so excited for all of you to get to know Jaime Lynne. She will light up your day, no matter how bad it has been. Just one glance and she will smile her lovely smile, and you are toast. All frustrations and anger are melted away, and it won't come back while she is around. So if you need a little help with your attitude, just do a video chat with Jaime Lynne. She will fix you right up!

Oh, and she has the most incredible eyes I have ever seen.
