So it's been a long time since I last updated this blog. Since the last entry we have welcomed Jacob Eugene Trout into the family. He was born on July 1st, 2009 weighing in at 6 lbs and just 18 inches long. He is now 2 1/2 months old and is smiling a bunch and squealing too! He's a pretty easy baby so far. At his two month check-up he weighed 11 1/2 pouunds and was 22 inches long.
It's been fun to watch Zach, who is now 2 years old, with Jake. He is so sweet with him. He's been a great big brother and a huge help. He told the kids at school yesterday to "Be nice to his brother" which I thought was hysterical. Zach is a man on a mission. He is a very determined, talkative, and funny little guy. Over the past month or so he has really been talking up a storm. He makes complete sentences and his inflections are priceless!
We took the boys on a
Summer road trip to Illinois and to Michigan. We drove 3,000 miles and had a great time. Zach watched Finding Nemo about 100 times. Thank god for portable DVD players. Zach had fun riding the tractors and lawn mowers with Grandpa! I think Grandpa had a pretty good time, too! We were able to visit with quite a few family members, have a campfire, go out with Erin in Evansville, and we met Cole, my nephew, who is 5 1/2 months old. What a handsome and smiley boy!Matt and I have put our house on the market and are looking to build in McKinney, which is just north of Dallas. Our fingers are crossed that our house sells before we lose out on the new one!
Well, it's back to work for me next week so I will do my best to keep this updated, but I am not making any promises!
