NonaJane is nearing 4 months old now, and she is out of control. She has learned how to roll! She has mastered rolling back to tummy, and has a pretty good hang of rolling from her tummy to her back. The other day I even saw her make some forward progress to grab at her brother! Jack was such a passive baby, that I am not used to this wild child. In fact, I used to always tuck baby Jack in with a blanket ( I know you're not supposed to do that but he looked so sweet just like a miniature little person. Plus he always slept so still that the blanket never moved.) Well not little miss! She won't leave her blanket alone! Twice I found her with it pulled over her head. So no more blanket! Plus she scoots, turns and twists in bed so you never know how you will find her!

But someone else has an even bigger milestone coming around the corner. Jack is turning 3 in less than a week. I believe it, because I have loved every day of the 3 years he has been here, but I also can't believe it. Didn't we just sing happy birthday to him yesterday when he turned 2? Well the little man has matured in his taste, he wants an i-Pad for his birthday. Yea... that's not going to happen. But we are going to have a Pirate Birthday Party! His very first real birthday party. Except mom was a little busy and didn't get real invitations out so everyone got the word thru texting. Tacky? Maybe, but everyone got the message so that's all that matters :) Jack is quite excited, and we really look forward to celebrating with him.

Now I can't leave out Adam. He too is getting old. On Wednesday he will be 34, so we made plans to celebrate his birthday with his family over labor day weekend. The plan was to go camping at Marion lake in Hillsboro Kansas. On Friday night Jack spiked a fever and was clearly not feeling well. When we woke up Saturday AM he did as all children do and acted fine. So Adam was determined to go camping. We called and warned everyone that Jack could potentially have a life threatening illness which may or may not be contagious (mild exaggeration) and all were cool with us still coming. So we headed down, and I complained that I too thought I was getting a cold. I spent the first day griping that I didn't feel well, that Nona was out of sorts, and so on etc... Then Sunday morning I woke up with a stomach ache :( Adam, Ryan and his Dad headed out for a birthday round of golf... and I started puking in the trees. After a bit I had had enough and summoned Adam home from the golf course. We packed up and headed the heck home. To make his birthday even BETTER, I passed the stomach bug to him and he spent the whole night puking too. Unfortunately his brother and niece caught it too :( Sooooo... maybe we will plan a birthday re-do some other time this year. Sorry Adam!
