A Big Weekend

This was a great weekend - couldn't we declare 3 day weekends a federal law. We first enjoyed a visit from Aunt Julie, Uncle Chris, and cousin Aiden. It was a lot of fun and great to see all of them. We went garage sale shopping, play land Gymboree (Aiden was a wild man while Jack cried and watched), had Jack's first swim in the pool, grilled out, and went to play mini golf. I was excited as I actually won for the first time ever. However, I am certain if Aiden played all holes he would have been the big winner as he has a knack for the hole in one!!!

Jack loves my garage sale finds and has spent most of the weekend walking around with his Handy Manny tool set.

The big news is that Jack took his first steps today (actual series of repetitive steps without help). Yeah!

Attached are some photos and videos from the weekend.

Jack enjoys the pool and learns the concept of no as he tries to eat a blade of grass.

Jack's First Steps

Flying Fish

Jack's new favorite snack treat is Baby Goldfish. Tonight he was really funny after dinner he must have decided that he was full and they started flying! He was quite amused with his discovery.

It's not all about Jack . . .

Congratulations to my other boy - Tommy! We were very proud last weekend to celebrate his completion of the associate degree at Penn State in York. He has worked very hard and it hasn't been easy to juggle - home, work, new baby . . . he has done a great job. So summer is off and then it all starts back in August for finishing the Bachelor's!!!!
