my heart is beeping

Oh my poor blog how I have neglected you. I can't believe that I've only posted a handful of times since the new year! I have so many adorable photographs of the kids that need to make their way on to the blog, but in the meantime a precious Jacob story will have to do.

Jacob has become very aware lately of his heart "beep". Everytime he comes running in from outdoors he has me place my hand on his chest to feel it beating. Well, today was Jacob's second trip to the dentist. Since the last one was six months ago I figured he might be a bit nervous, but he rarely lets it show. So as the dentist asked him to lay down on the little table he blurts out, "Oh no, my heart is beeping!" It turns out that he was nervous and didn't know that your heart beats faster when you're scared. The whole thing was so precious (and I'll admit, a little sad), but something that I had to record.

This is a great story because Abel also calls it a "heart beep!" How funny!

I've missed you in blog land, by the way. ;-) Are you staying busy with your photography? Travis and I checked it out a while back and were quite impressed. You definitely have a gift!

We miss these Jake-isms! And we've missed your updates too, even though we're not frequent posters either! :) Give both of them a hug for us....
