Plenty of pictures of Koen

Life has been busy, but still a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to go to Idaho a couple times. Jon could only join Koen and I one of the times. I was so proud of Koen and how well he was during our long drives. We had a lot of fun introducing everyone to Koen and spending time with the family.

Jon started a new semester of school this week. He's taking a class earlier in the morning than he's had to in the past. One of his classes is on Antarctica. He's fascinated by cold, snowy places, so I think he'll really enjoy what he learns in that class. At least I hope so.
Jon was also recently called as a primary teacher for the Valiant 9 class. He said the first week went well, but did include two injuries. haha I know Jon will do a wonderful job in primary and I think the kids will love him. Jon was always willing to substitute for my partner teachers whenever they were out of town and he was great. A lot of fun, yet not afraid to discipline (which is important). :)

Koen will be two months old in a few weeks. He's already changed so much since day one. He's always seemed to smile quite a bit, but he's starting to smile a lot more. We can usually get a smile out of him when we move his legs back and forth quickly. He's awake much more than last month as well, but still sleeps quite a bit as babies do.

We got to visit with Allison, Jeff and Rees last weekend. Allison was sharing a gift Jeff's family had made for them which included an indian's headband. We thought Koen and Abigail fashioned them quite nicely:




Koen and I played with the camera a little bit again today. I think we were able to get some cute expressions.



I think this is one of my favorites.


I hope all is well for everyone!

My goodness, that little guy is adorable, even in an indian headband. What is he laying on that is blue and looks shaggy?
Good luck, Jon with your new semester, and congratulations on getting to teach in Primary.

Oh my goodness...Okay, the last picture is adorable. I love the sleeping ones of him in the beanie. I love all of his expressions!
Also, though it is true that Koen is a mini Jon right now, I think that first 'professional' one you posted (after the indian photos) reminds me of you a bit :)
We're so excited to see you guys again in a couple of weeks and party it up!!
