Looking forward (but not before looking back)

Change is in the air at the Jones abode. Within the span of the next 8 weeks we'll be welcoming a new son (and brother) into our house and into our lives. Given the momentous nature of this pending arrival it is probably understandable that much of our time these days is spent looking forward to the changes ahead. There is a certain quality of quiet frenzied energy which exists in a household that knows it will grow by one very needy member in the near future. The calm before the storm? I think we are in it.

However, before we plow headlong into the month of August and all of it's excited baby preparations- it's probably fitting to take one quick look back at a July that included (among other things) a sweet little trip to a sweet little cabin in Maine. I've got some pictures to show you. You'll find no captions here though, because really, what is there to explain? Eat, sleep, read, swim- there, I just summarized the entirety of the Maine cabin experience. Although, hang on till the end of the pictures and you can see a video of Aiden demonstrating his casting skill. Fish of West Grand Lake, be on notice: next year we may actually put a hook on the end of his line!

Rob, Maine looks beautiful. I am jealous that I've never been up there. It looks like a place of complete rest and relaxation! I can't believe that Brady will be here so soon too! Time flies...
