Hey Everybody! The Dewald family is alive! This is my first post since February because I finally got a new computer that doesn't take 30 min. to download one picture onto the blog. It was wearing me out! But as an early 30th birthday present, my sweet husband bought me a new laptop since he was sick and tired of hearing me whine about my ancient computer. Therefore, I now have just composed the world's longest blog entry, so I hope you are bored because there are a lot of pictures. We have had a wonderful summer going to the beach, hanging out by the pool, and going to visit family. I have been big and pregnant all summer as we are now on the countdown for baby Jonah to arrive probably around the first or second week of October. Micah has continued to go to school four days a week while Jamie and I work, and he loves it! As you will see in the pictures, he and Jamie have become best buddies lately. I suppose that is God's way of transitioning us before Jonah comes to take alot of my attention. Life is good, and we are so richly blessed by God. We are so thankful for all we have and the fun memories we have made this past summer!


Micah is just the sweetest kid. Jamie and I are so blessed to be given such a fun loving little boy. We have tried to just take it all in the past 2 1/2 years! He is such a talker and is at the age that he keeps us laughing constantly. He is super excited about Jonah coming into the world in the next few weeks and includes him in everything already! As many know, I was a little disappointed when I found out that I would never have a baby girl, but I am excited now as I watch how much Micah anticipates having a baby brother, playmate, and friend.








All of these beach pictures are of our family vacation with Jamie's side of the family. We had a great time together! Sadly, this is the only picture I have of all the kids together because they are all so young that is was impossible to get them to all stop for one picture together! I don't even have action shots with us together because it seemed like when one family was at the beach the other family's kids wanted to be at the pool. They had a wonderful time together, and I hope we will do another trip together sometime!




Okay, so I know that there is basically only pictures of Micah and Jamie this past summer but as you can see...I have a reason. I am just not one of those "cute" pregnant people who just gains in the belly. I kind of shy away (or maybe I should be honest and just say run) from the camera. I know I will probably one day regret not having more pictures of pregnancy with Micah or Jonah, but oh well!


Micah is a total fish! He loves to jump in the pool and does not want anyone to catch him or he gets mad. He is kind of unafraid of the water in every single way, and I think he would swim all day if we let him






I think poor Jamie had to bury Micah in the sand 500 times this trip


Love this one! We told Micah to show his muscles!


This picture is a bitter sweet picture because it is the last picture I got that shows Micah's sweet little front teeth before they got knocked up into his gums later in the summer from his diving board accident.


Let's take in just a minute just how hot my husband is...I know that is kind of sappy but I am so blessed to have such a good looking man. I married way above myself!


I think Micah has eaten his weight in fudge pops this summer. More ends up dripped down his hands, chest, arms, and legs than in his mouth everytime!
