Happy Halloween - Grand Finale






Happy Halloween to all - we love you!

Happy Halloween - Part 2

Jack is celebrating his first Halloween. After many diligent hours and a repair following the festivities of Halloween at daycare mama has finished Jack's parrot costume. He is looking forward to visiting the neighborhood with the 4 year old next door who is a pirate. Mama will be also dressing as a pirate (Jack tried on the hat) and will anxiously awaiting for her parrot to return home!!!!


Jack started out the morning with a puppy costume that we received from Aunt Julie about 10 years ago. Keeping with a Hallo-fashion show he also sported a first Halloween apparel. Stay tuned for more photos . . .

The Sweetest Sound

Lately Jack is laughing lots. Lots of things are funny - hide and seek with mommy, splashing in the bath, his own name, and daddy pounding on the bed . . . .

We are enjoying a rainy, lazy Saturday and hoping for sunshine tomorrow, so that we can go get some pumpkins! Uh, oh - mommy still has a lot of work to do to finish the Halloween costume.

1 Minute with Jack

Happy 6 Months Jack!

Back by popular demand . . . last Monday Jack celebrated his 1/2 year birthday! He is growing like a weed. The past month has been a difficult time as he has been sick for almost all of it - stuffy nose, continuous cough, and wheezing. Despite all of that he continues to be a smily boy! Always a joy and blessing.

This month Jack started real food which has provided us lots of entertainment - he loves oatmeal, but is slow to warm up to everything else - fruit juice makes him cry, peas make him gag (tonight resulted in absolute refusal to eat), and sweet potatoes are okay (tonight following the peas sweet potatoes did not seem as bad)! Next on the menu . . . carrots.
