Welcome to the J Kids

We've set up this blog to allow family and friends to keep up with how our kids are doing. We had tried MySpace but it seemed too hip for our tastes. Hopefully, we will be good bloggers and update often. We'll see. I've made a few unsuccessful attempts at uploading videos.

Here's some recent news to get everybody caught up:

J-girl is now crawling. (This was the video that I was attempting on upload.) She does well on the carpet, but once she hits the tile she just spins her wheels. No traction. For now, this keeps her out of the kitchen where all of the dangerous stuff is. We've got the baby gate ready for when she does master the slicker floor. She enjoys standing but can't yet pull herself up. She's starting to eat solids. Mostly baby food, but she does get half a biscuit whenever we have biscuits and gravy. Mmmmmmmmm . . . biscuits and gravy.

J-man celebrated his fourth birthday last month. All of the grandparents and most of the aunts and uncles made the trip to help us celebrate. Mommy made a delicious dinosaur cake. J-man had fun playing with his cousin Jakob (another J Kid?) and Savannah, his friend from school.

Daddy and J-man recently attended one of the Husker Baseball Team's first home games. J-man had fun learning the rules of baseball as well as how to open peanuts.
