Moving

I don't have any fun pictures to put up, because unless you want to look at a living room full of boxes, there isn't much else to see.

We have almost everything packed and ready to go, we are just waiting for the moving vaults to show up. They will be here Wednesday and then we can move all the stuff out except for our bed and of course, the beloved computer. :)

And then... it is out into the real world to have some new adventures. I have been talking to a lot of people about New Jersey and the east in general and everyone is very encouraging. Thanks to all of you who have offered your support. We appreciate it.

Well, it might be a while before I can write again, but I will try to keep everyone posted.

Where is this?

This little view could become a very real part of our lives in the near future. Yep, that's right! Scott got an offer for a job with a consulting firm in Secaucus, New Jersey which is just six miles out of Manhattan. CRAZY! We are pretty excited, but just to make sure, Scott will be flying to Seattle on Friday to check out an opportunity there. If he takes the offer we will either start on September 10th or the 17th. So, the next month will be spent spending time with family , moving, and then looking for a place to live out on the east coast.

Reading

Jeff likes to read too. He loves to find out all about where the book was published, copywrited and stuff like that, as you can see in this photo.

Bath Time?

I found another way to contain the boy. I just put him in the bath with no water. He loves it. He is still trying to figgure out how to turn on the water, so this trick might work for a little bit longer. Just a note if you try this at home, remove the shaver from the edge of the tub. :)

ScHotty

I realized, there just isn't enough Scott on this website... unfortunatly, I don't have many pictures of him becuase Jeff monopolizes the photo time. So, although this is not the most recent or the best picture, you can see what a happy Scott at work looks like.

The Loaf

This is my first loaf of bread I have ever made ALL BY MYSELF!!! It is even whole wheat. It's a good thing. Watch out Martha Steward, here I come!

Just chillin' in the buff. It doesn't get any better than that fresh clean right after bath time.

Mealtime... the best part of the day. Just behind bath time.

Ahh.. much better. :)

We were trying a new way to keep this busy body contained. It worked pretty well, but I felt bad and took it off and decided to try another approach.

Oh no!!! It's a one eyed monster!!!

All Fours

Oh boy, oh boy. He is all ready to go find an unsuspecting electrical cord.

Happy to be alive!

Jeffy just laughs and smiles all the time. The other day Scott was playing with him and he was laughing and squeeling. Then I tired the same thing.... nothing. He just looked at me like, "Where's dad?". Then Scott started up again and he was all giggles. He is definatly a daddy's boy.

Jeffy's New Adventure

Jeff learned how to crawl a week ago. It is amazing that in one week he has progressed so much. His fav0rite things to find are cords plugged into the wall. His favorite things to do with those cords are to bite them with his trusty two teeth. While is rather amused by this, I think his hair sticks up enough already. I guess it is time to learn what it means to "child-proof" my house.

Goddard Family

I forgot how to blog... so I will try this and see if it works. I have been sooo bad about updating this site, but I am determined to do better. So, with that new resolution in mind I just want to share a funny story from work.

I talked to some of the other home parents we work with and they told me about this boy(Tye) in their home that almost got into a fight with some other boys. I guess they were having a heated debate about whether "N" was a vowel or not. When the home parents came into the room they were just catching the end of it and hear Tye yell, "You guys, I know "N" is a vowel, it goes A, E, I, O, N, U. Everyone knows that." I cracked me up. :)

Jeffy and Scott... man they are cute!

We went to my sister Kerry's house for a weekend and she took some really cute photos. I just can't look at these pics without getting all teary-eyed... sniff. :)

Dad and Jeff cheese for the camera before we head off... to some place. I think we were going to Wal-Mart. That really is irrelevant. What really matters is how cute these two are. :)

KKK???

Nope, just bath time. Jeffy loves his baths. He is starting to splash all around with his feet. He still hasn't gotten his hand into it too much, but I am sure it won't be long.

Camping... kindof

We went up to Strawberry Resivour and stayed at the same cabin we went to on our honeymoon. It was ton of fun to get away. We spent time with Scott's friend Mike and some other buddies. It was pretty up there and the weather was great. Jeffy was a champ. He slept all night and didn't even wake us up once in the middle of the night.

We played vollyball, went for a short hike/walk around, had a nice campfire, and palyed some fun games. It was a great break from work.
