It's 101 outside!!!

So today marks the seventh day of record breaking heat in Houston!!! 101 degrees and dry!!! The yard has started to die, and not just ours. Everyone on the street it seems has a dying yard. Except for the guy accross the street, FRIKIN' LANDSCAPER!!! The limes in the lime tree aren't doing to well either, and on top of all of this!!! A water main busted today and our water is out! Although the tech did call and explain it should be back on today.






Yep that's right!!! It's out and AWESOME!!!! Yeah there's a few cheap laughs and a thin plot... SO WHAT ROTTENTOMATOES.COM!?!?!?!? Who cares? Not me.

Our Bedroom

I finally have some pictures of the house to post. We (actually mostly just me, Sara) have painted almost every room. The only thing left is the bathroom in our room and the office. The bathroom is going to get done next Friday when Auntie April keeps Cohen over night and the office, well I'll leave that one for Jerimiah. We eventually would like to get a spare bed for in there so we will probably just wait to paint until we get that. Hope you enjoy the pictures and everyone is welcome anytime to come by if you are ever in Houston!

Can't sleep, so I'll blog...

On my way to spend the night at Nina and Papi's house.
TOne of my favorite things to do: taking a nap with daddy.

Stretching out big in my crib.

Oh mom, I hate when you make me wear this hat...

For some reason, I went to bed and could not fall asleep so I thought I would get up and work on the blog. I hope ya'll like the new look. It took me awhile to figure out the part with our name, but after much trying, I finally got it! We didn't have to much going on today, just the normal Saturday things. Jerimiah had to work from 3 to close so Nina and Papi came over and we had Pizza Hut and just hung out for awhile.

Friday night, Jerimiah and I had a date night. It was great! Cohen went and spent the night at his parents house and we got a full night's sleep! It felt wonderful but was glad to have the little guy back this morning when Jerimiah went and picked him up. They even brought mom her favorite breakfast, sausage and cheese kolaches! Yum!

We are counting down the days until Iowa. I am very excited to be able to spend time there and to see people that I miss. I think Grandpa is pretty excited to have us there also and can't wait to bring Cohen to Interstates and show him off. I've starting my packing lists and this will be quite different then before with having to back for a baby also. At least his clothes are little and we can stuff then in different places in the suitcase. We are are T-minus 16 days and counting. Yeah!

One last note, Happy Birthday to my sister! Hope your day was great and wish we could have spent it with you!

Love Sara, Jerimiah and Cohen

1 Month Old

Cohen is now 1 month and a week old. Time has gone fast! He is still doing great. He is starting to really show some personality now. Here are a few things about him so far:

*He eats about every 2 hours in the daytime and usually has 3-4 ounces. At night he normally eats twice during the night and also eats 3-4 ounces then.

*He loves cuddling and especially after he has eaten.

*He loves being rocked with his fuzzy blanket before naptime and after he has eaten in the middle of the night.

*He loves to spend time in daddy's lap while he plays XBox.

*He is a great baby and on the go. He sleeps through alot and is good while we are out and about.

*He still loves his binky (pacifier). We are trying to transition him from the newborn Soothie ones to the regular pacifiers. He still prefers the Soothie though.

*He is starting to like his baths a little more. If the water is warm and the washcloth is warm and covering him from the moment we put him in, he is usually pretty good with it.

We have booked our flights, we will be in Iowa starting June 30. I will be staying with Cohen until July 10 and Jerimiah will be flying back on the 6th so he can come back and work. We are looking forward to this trip very much!

Sara, Jerimiah and Cohen
