Not much going on...

Ok, so maybe that's not entirely true - it's been pretty busy around our camp for the last several months. I turned 2 years old, had 2 separate parties (oh, yeah!) and celebrated Christmas with my Grandma Jan, Grandma Karen and Papa and my cousins. I'm a BIG guy, pretty soon I'll be old enough to get a job and start paying for my own things. That's at least what mom and dad say. I am adding pictures for you all to take a look at, but I am sure my family will be seeing more of me around... you'll have to read on. That's what they call a teaser in the business you know.

Below - My cousin Grace and I wait for my special cupcake on my birthday. Chow down!


For Christmas, I got some Buzz Slippers - I can fly like Buzz and even defeat Zurg.


When I am home in GB, I love to play with my cousins - they are a blast. We run outside, get special treats and play with toys. Rumor has it Grandma Karen fixed up the basement... all for me to go in and make a MESS. When will they ever learn?



After a hard day of play, a little cuddle time is perfect!



I'm going to get a lot more TLC and time with my family from now on. Wait for it... we're moving! (I know the suspense was killing you!) We found a special new house for me near Milwaukee, WI. Mom and Dad wanted us to be closer to our family and after a long talk - we made a tough choice to leave our family and friends in Minneapolis. We made a lot of good memories there... including mom and dad graduating college, making some money starting their careers, making friends and making me (no details please). We've been very blessed. Mom was able to transfer to another center where they had a director position open and dad went from Target to Kohls. I think it's funny he's in the handbag buying office. Hahaha... he was in the big apple this last week for work. I like apples.

Below is a quick pic of our send off from MN. Our house sold in 10 days. Amazing!

Drumroll please... we've bought a new special house (I think all my piggy bank money will cover it) that I get to move into in a few weeks. It sure beats this temporary housing nonsense that I've been cooped up in. It's got a nice big back yard, room for Duncan and I to run around and space for all of my toys. Rumor has it there is even extra rooms that I could get a little brother or sister. No plans yet, dad says chill. :) I am so excited. My big boy school is just down the road! So cool! I took a few pictures of the house for you.




It's called the cookie house, because when we went in for the showing - they had cookies waiting for us. Yahooo!
Special thanks to Grandma Karen and UMD for helping us house hunt, we saw 9 houses in 1 day. Also, a shout out to Grandma Jan - not only did is she taking care of my puppy, Duncan - but she also took care of me when I had the poops for a week... I will NOT explain, but it was nasties. Grandma Jan also sold her house too! Lots of exciting things going on!
I can't wait to settle in and explore all the city has to offer. Yes, still a Twins fan / Packer fan / Gopher fan. We can cheer for the Brewers too as long as they aren't playing my Twins - they are in different leagues you know.
Love you, miss you, see you soon
-Jacob
