New Baby is here!

We welcomed baby Jesse to our family on Thursday 12/18 right before 8pm. She weighs 7lb11oz & is 20.5inches long. She is beautiful and healthy and we are so happy to finally meet her. The boys are eager big brothers. Tom has already taught her the rules to Candy Land and Jake is a good helper.

Zoom!

The boys have spent a lot of time this fall on their bikes zooming up and down our sidewalk. Tom has gotten great on his trike & Jake is well on his way to mastering a 2 wheeler.

Picture Time

Jake had Picture Day at school this past week so Tom had to have his picture done too, at home. He was pretty cute for the camera. The last one is him making his letter T!

Busy Fall

Well there's a lot going on with the Rosses this fall. Baby on the way, Jake in Kindergarten & the house is for sale!!! Lots of changes ahead for sure. Jake loves school, he's afternoon and rides the bus with his cousin & a friend which is fun. he also has a buddy from his class to ride home with. His first week was terrific! I am now 23 weeks and couting. I know I look huge but Christmas is still a looooong way off! We've had lots of showings with the house, but no offers so we may drop the price in a week or so to see if that gets us anything solid. I'm not worried...yet. I still have a big enough window of time to sell & be moved before the baby arrives.

One of the best parts about Mtn. Lake weekend is seeing all the family. Especially since we couldn't make it to the Farnum reunion this year, it was good to see many folks here. The boys got to play withthe big kids, or watch at least!

Family Fun

Water bugs

We got to spend a week at Mountain Lake this summer, following our wonderful week in VT. An awesome vacation for the Rosses. Here we are enjoying ourselves on land. I'll have more of the guys int he water!!

We had a great time at the 4th of July parade. It may have broke the record for loooongest parade. Mostly because there were lots of gaps, not lots of floats. But the kids got a TON of candy!! It was overcast so we all stayed cool.

Curious

Well I really thought I had updated the blog since June. I swore I put pics up here of Sesame place & our slip 'n slide. Anyone remember? Am I just crazy?? Oh well. Here's some more!
