Jackson

Jackson is active. I sometimes forget to put a lot in here about what he's doing around this time in his life, but it seems it's always changing! The kid is bright! I mean, he's my child so of course I'm going to say he's accelerated, but he does take me off guard sometimes. For example, Jackson knows what his shoes and socks are. He knows how to say each. Last night we were getting ready to leave mom and dad's house and I said, "jackson, please find your shoes so mommy can put them on." Don't you know, he walked over to where his shoes were sitting on the chair and brought them close to me. He didn't hand them to me per say, haha , but the fact that at 16 months he was able to locate his shoes and bring them to me to put on was a very big accomplishment! :)
And this morning whenever Matthew was getting him ready to go to Terry's, as he was putting his socks on, with eyes closed, Jackson wanted to be sure to let daddy know that he was putting his "socks" on. He's so funny.
His newest favorite word to say would have to be cereal. I'm not sure why he finds it so enjoyable to say, but it is sometimes just said out of no where for the fun of it! :)

Big Baby Boy

So I am currently 28 weeks pregnant. My "due date" is October 25th but will be getting induced on October 18th due to a very special wedding event (trav and ann!) that is happening on October 23rd. Jude is huggge in my belly. Or well, at least he feels huge! I don't remember Jackson feeling so big at this point in the pregnancy, I can really only remember Jackson feeling huge towards the end and the uncomfortable feeling! So, I feeling, or well hoping, that Jude comes early! That way I don't have to get induced and hang out in the hospital for my long labor history.

July 26th

Yesterday, Matthew and I celebrated our two year anniversary! But honestly, it feels like it's been about 15 years. I'm not meaning that in an ohhh there is no romance, or excitement remaining in our marriage, I mean that as in, holy crap, so much has happened in that two years that I can't believe it's only two?????????? You know, for example, one son, one on the way, one house, trying to move out of it, four jobs, starting the process for a new one, school graduations... that's just to name a few things that has happened in our short time as Mr. and Mrs. Z.
But Matthew, thank you for these wonderful two years. full of love, BABIES, tears, hugs, and memories that will last for 2X20 years.
And, me being fairly pregnant and tired as all get out, our second anniversary was spent with Jackson at home around the kitchen table eating Chinese food. well, Matthew eating Chinese food and it not tasting that great to me. :) To next year babe!

Vacation 2010

Me and my family (Matthew, Jackson, and baby Jude in my belly) traveled up to Erie for 3 days. It was a lot of fun but definatly different when vacationing with a little baby, because naps and bedtime are still very important times during the day! below are some pics from our time in Erie! Love family and little sub babies!! :)

and p.s. Jackson loves the water! note his running in all on his own!

I'm sorry, did someone say July 8th?

I feel like the summer is flying. I think that is normally the case for summer, but holy cow!! I think a lot of it has to do with me finishing up these classes and the stress of that, plus the fact that I'm pregnant and I always think in my head, "the baby will be here after summer." I'm assuming that's why everything is flying by so quickly, in anticipation of Baby Zirnsak #2. As of today, will be named Jude Timothy. :)
Matthew and I are planning a few night get away to Erie with Jackson in about a week. We really don't have the funds to get away away for the summer, but getting to take Jackson to Lake Erie for a few days to play in the sun, will be well worth it! We'll also be celebrating our two year anniversary this summer! Crazy, I sometimes forget we even had a wedding. Things just fly by so quickly when you're living a life full of so many changes. So, remember to slow down and take in the sights. There are a lot of good ones out there.

Baby Boy #2!

Due October 25th! Doing great and swimmin' around! :)

My Two Boys!

Yes, the Zirnsak's are having another boy! We're very excited to know that big brother Jackson will have his very own best friend in the house at all times! :) Not that I don't expect fist fights somewhere in their futures, I still love that they'll always have each other!
