life as an ostovic

It’s a Friday afternoon, which is the day jack and I get to hang out. He is taking a nap so I thought that I would write a post. This is an older picture of jack that I ran across recently. I just love it! (Actually I am bummed because I seem to have lost our digital camera which really sucks!! I can’t believe I let it happen. I am driving myself nuts trying to find it. Anyway we will not have a lot of new pictures for a little while till I find it, or I get a new one.)

I also wanted to let the blogger world know that jackson will have a little brother in July. We found out the sex about a month ago and thought it was about time to put it on the website. I guess that is how things go with the second kid huh? : ) We are very excited to have two boys. A name has not been picked yet. The front runner is Evan, but I need to warm up to it a little more. Why not let us know what your ideas are for the new name in the comments below. It will be fun to see what you say.

I just came back from a missions trip to Mississippi where we took 86 high school students and leaders to work on hurricane relief. I cannot believe how much devastation is still there. It really is a tragedy what has happened. Not only the storm but the lack of leadership afterwards. It reminds you of what is important in life. I hope I never forget. I recommend a trip down there for anyone. You will be changed.
I’ll try to get some picture up for you to see.

Not much else is going on apart from the usual life stuff. Soon we will begin painting our guest bedroom to make it into jackson’s new room. Also we are excited to begin working outside on our landscaping. We just love doing this together. It is so great to get your hands dirty. I think it is therapeutic.

Oh also, we will be heading off to North Carolina for a vacation with Melanie’s family in June. We are very excited to get away to the beach together. It will be jacks first beach experience!

Well that is all for now. I things are well in the blogger universe. till next time.

At the prodding of my brother-in-law (a Maimi of Ohio alum) I am sorry to say that the Zips unexpectantly lost to Miami of Ohio in the MAC championship game. It came down to a last minute toss that gave the Hawks the win!! Congrats to you Tom for your win, sorry they did not do so good at the big dance. : )
