random happenings at our house...

it feels like it's been awhile since we've updated our blog - this post has no real rhyme or reason - just things that we've been up to!  we're still patiently waiting for baby boy to arrive - today is his due date, but he's apparently not ready to meet us yet, so we're just going to wait!  :-)  i think the boys are both excited to meet baby boy - we "play" in the baby's room for at least 5 minutes each day - the boys checking everything out while i organize/re-organize.... it will be a fun day when we ALL get to "play" in the baby's room! 

we finally got a little bit of snow (about a week ago?)  afraid that it would be melted by the time jake got home from work, the boys and i bundled up and spent about 30 minutes outside.  it was COLD but fun! 

the boys "trekking" across the front yard...
no sledding for us... just being pulled up/down the sidewalk!
a fun, warm activity inside while dinner is being made! 
the boys LOVE when we have empty boxes in the house -- they turn them into caves, houses, and in this case, a vehicle of some sort! 

my parents made an impromptu visit to ames last weekend - a fun way to end our weekend!
the stotts boys, modeling their special valentine's day hats (tiger, giraffe and puppy) from
 gma susan and gpa  mark -- i'm sure that these hats get used at least once a day! 
josiah reading to gpa mark

at church that morning, i told jake that this is the face that indicates
"water broke - we need to move." (no such luck that day!)


happy boy!
roman laughing at the licking puppy tongue...
a dance session in the kitchen... this is a daily occurrence at our house!
each boy has his own style... 
josiah spins in circles while roman tries out some new moves!

thinking our next post will be to introduce you to our newest family member!!  talk soon!!  :-)

Love reading your updates . . . keep checking in to see if baby has arrived - thinking of you as you wait! B was overdue and it was soooo hard to wait. We are one week from baby #2's due date.
