Haircut




Not the first "real" haircut, but the first major one. Connor did pretty well (the jury is still out as to whether or not Meg did well).

Kissing Girls and Fixing Toys



That's our boy! This is Connor's friend, Sarah. They are just perfect for each other, don't you think? (Connor has recently learned to kiss with a "smack" and just loves to kiss and hug).

We love the pool


It got up to a whopping 80 degrees so we had to beat the heat! A side note, Katie (in tummy) and Connor weight a LOT less in water. Hooray for buoyancy!

Loving the rain (well, the puddles and gutter water)

Putman Update

As you well know (if you have visited our blog anytime in the past 6 months) we haven't updated in a while! Just so you know, I kind of figured that if I don't hear any "hey, why haven't you updated your blog?" then it doesn't need to be on the top of the priority list (so give me a heads up if you'd like more frequent updates, and I'll move it toward the top =)

We have spent the last 6 months being pregnant (well, Meg has been!), working on the house (lots of tiling, re-roofing, fixing a water main leak, redoing bathroom plumbing, and getting the last of the doors painted - 3 coats each... yikes!), moving Connor into his "big boy" room and getting the nursery ready for our precious Katie. Jeremy has been working full time, Meg has been working at Starbucks as well as (praise the Lord) doing a lot of tutoring. We are thankful to see Meg's tutoring expand and hope to see it do so for next year as well.

We praise the Lord for Connor's growth and development. He understands SO MUCH. He "puts toys away" "close the door" and can do many other things we ask him. He (mostly) does them right away as well. Hooray!

In the latest news, Meg's veins are causing her to have a c-section to deliver Katie. We are thankful to be at peace with this decision (and are VERY thankful to know in advance). Please be praying that Connor will adjust to not being able to be picked up by Mommy! Since he just started walking at 17 months, he is accustomed to being picked up a lot until recently (even now, it is tedious to walk him from a Drs. appt through a parking garage as Meg did yesterday to "practice" having him walk).

Katie is scheduled to arrive July 13th. We are so blessed to have Jeremy's Mom coming to stay and help for a week, Meg's Mom will be here after that, and Jeremy will take 1 week off work and work 1 week from home. Thank you all for your love and support.

Connor Pictures

Connor has always been very good with his hands (dexterity). He likes to clip - anything - from his booster seat buckles to his stroller, this will keep him occupied for a long time. He's probably been doing this since January. Another thing he's been doing for a LONG time is "writing" He holds his pencil and pen just like Mommy and Daddy and loves to use Mommy's planner to write and to put the pencil inside the spiral part. We are excited to see him continue to develop this.





We love the outdoors!
