Jane, Jack and Josie


During our visit in Texas Jane got to spend time in Forney. She enjoyed seeing her two cousins Jack and Josie as well as Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Scott. She was excited to learn that another Macdonald cousin is on the way. She was able to spend a whole day with Nanny which included a trip to Walmart. Papa spent quality time with Jane in the evenings after work. In addition Jane got to visit with Granny Margie, Aunt Julie, Uncle Randy, Kristin, Maxton, Ben, Tracy, Caitlin, Marcie and Kyler.

Free at last


A majority of the noncompete agreement was purchased yesterday afternoon. We are thankful to everyone who gave us support during this trying time for our family.

Week of 4/18-4/25


This weekend Jane and I will be getting ready for our trip to Texas. Jane is excited to see her grandparents and aunts/uncles and cousins. Jenny is looking forward to getting a chance to spend some time with her friends Lisa (from high school) and Melanie (from vet school). Jeremy will get to spend the week with Bonnie and the horses. Last week Jane got her first two teeth- her bottom incisors! Her upper right incisor won't be far behind. Keep up the good work Jane- we know this is a tough time but you are doing great!

Spring is here


Spring is here and we are really happy that all the mud is gone and the grass is back. Hopefully the flooding is over too! Jeremy, Jane, Bonnie and I enjoy spending time outside together in the evenings after work. Louis and P-Diddy are really enjoying the weather too! We are starting on some summer time projects around the farm. Today we demo'd the corn crib. FINALLY.

Afternoon routine

After lunch on nice days Jane and I go to the park for a 2.2 mile walk. She enjoys smiling and laughing at the people she sees and she has been known to wave hello if she is really excited. On days when I can't be there with her she spends her time with the babysitter's family at baseball practice, piano lessons or at the library. When it is time to come home she gets to spend a little time at the barn with the horses before dinner.



Morning routine

Usually Jane starts the day with light breakfast of pureed fruits then it is off to the exerciser or play mat for some core strengthening exercises. She is learning to crawl and everyday she is getting better at it. She has learned to be more versatile and now she can travel forward not just backward! She can sit upright and play for a long time on her own and she has learned to transition from sitting to tummy very efficiently. Way to go Jane we are very proud! Jane enjoys playing with toys that she can take apart like the ring stacker and picnic basket fill and spill and toys that she can put in her mouth. She usually is then ready for a late morning snack and a short nap.
