1. Funny Jake moment. I'm always posting funny things Josh and Dekker say/do, but Jake never ceases to crack me up either. This actually happened last Monday (Memorial Day). We were at the cometary visiting my grandmother's grave. We'd taken an umbrella with us since it'd been raining on and off all morning- when it began to downpour we all crowded under our giant umbrella and Jake said, "Wow. These things actually work. I don't think I've every really used an umbrella before!" It was said with such awe I couldn't help but laugh. Obviously HE'S the one who grew up in Colorado and not Seattle!!!

2. Safe neighborhood. I love our little cul-de-sac. It's so nice that there are so many young kids that can play together and adults that are always watching out not just for their own kids, but for everyone else's. The day after day automatic play groups are nice as well!

3. Health. Some of our neighbors got struck with the stomach flue- we somehow managed to escape it- Whew!
