This is the first time Jonah was able to sit on a big boy swing all by himself. Still not able to make himself go, but this is a huge step!
(this was in March...out of sequence, sorry)
Hard to believe Fall is here! Jonah is 6 and he started 1st Grade at Highland Elementary in Sylvania and he loves it. Jacoby is 8 months and is at JMLC following in his big brother's footsteps. They are growing up so fast!! He is crawling like crazy and pulling up on furniture, oh boy!

Jonah's New Swingset
With ALOT of hardwork and help, John was able to put the singset back together. It made the long journey from the Shearman's house in Haskins, Ohio to our house in Sylvania, Ohio. Jonah is so happy to have his own playground!!
Daddy's "Head Hat" and glasses
Jonah loves to imitate his Dad. John always lets him use his tools and wear his safety equipment. He is so observant and he knows how to use all of the tools as they are intended...he tries to take apart anything he can get his hands on.
Great Great Grandma B.
Jonah had alot of fun visiting his "B". He colored her some pictures and we watched the birds fly around their cages. We always enjoy our visits and we are so lucky to have her in our lives. It is amazing that they are alost exactly 100 years apart in age. She will be 103 on April 28th and he will be 3 in August. What an amazing thought!
Vintage Fun
At Jonah's school, they had a photographer come to take these pictures. The kids got to dress up and choose a prop to sit with. My dad says we need to call him "Spanky."
Where are my legs?
During our last major amount of snow I was busy running the snow blower while Jonah played. When I came around the corner I saw Jonah waist deep in the snow and all he could say is, "Momma, I stuck!"
Nap Time
Jonah is out of his crib and is transitioning to his "big boy bed". He has not been sleeping through the night (since November 22nd, not that I'm counting) so we thought a change of scenery would help, but so far it hasn't worked. He get up still between 2 and 4 a.m. every night and comes to wake us up so one of us goes to sleep with him. We find this to be the only way we can get sleep. He falls asleep well, we read books and when his limit of 3 books is up, we flips through and reads them to himself until he passes out.
Jungle Java
Aunt Stephanie heard about this place called Jungle Java in Ann Arbor, MI. Our families decided to go one weeked to check it out. When we arrived there was only a few parking spaces left which meant it was going to be CROWDED, and it was!! It is a very fun concept with larger than life a jungle gym and a cafe for parents (NOT quite and relaxing!!) it was a great time for the kids. I recommed going during the week to avoid the crowds.
The Annual Pokagon Weekend
The Mann/Reichert families have been going to the Potowatomi Inn in the Pokagon State Park for over 32 years. We have been going the same weekend every year and we pretty much have the same agenda each year too. This is something that we all look forward to every winter and it is something to turn the dull days of winter into a fun filled weekend. This was Jonah's 3rd trip and for him and he had a wonderful time. 
Fun Times
Jonah had a great time swimming, coloring, playing games, going to the nature center, playing in the snow, etc. This year he was able to get involved with more activities and he had a great time.
Mann/Reichert Game Night
Riley was very generous with her games. She and Jonah had so much fun together, they are now actually old enough to interact, it was so cute! 
Swimming in January
Jonah and Madeline spent what seemed like hours swimming
in the pool at the Potowatomi Inn. It is pretty funny swimming past the windows and seein all of the snow while you are in the water.

James Meade Learning Center
Jonah has been a part of JMLC since he was 12 onths old and they have taken such great care of him. Ms. Violet was the first person outside of the family to care for him and she has taken the role of Jonah's 3rd Grandmother. She retired this year and we are very sad to see her go. With her help I was able to learn to trust others to care for my most precious gift...Jonah!
Here is Jonah with some of his "classmates". I don't know what Jonah is thinking while looking at Sarah but it is priceless.
