One Month Old!

Papa with Jack and Nonie with Emerson. Same age, what a size difference!


Little Jack and Dad covered in ink after collecting hand and foot stamps!

Greetings all! What a busy couple of weeks we've had.  Jack had a lot of visitors for Easter weekend.  Nonie and Papa Sudar came up from Dallas.  Great Aunt and Uncle Nettie and Marty came up from Clovis, with Jack's cousin Andrew.  Great Antie Marian came from Walsenburg! Cousins Shellie and Matthew came down from Estes Park, and we all had Easter Lunch at Great Uncle John's house in Westminster.  Jack has already met so much of his family! 

Folks got to meet both Jack and Emerson on Friday night when Robert and Natalie came over for a visit during their busy Easter weekend festivities.  What a cute photo of the twice-over grandparents!

Jack still has his thrush - takes a long time for that stuff to go away -  both in his mouth and on his bum.  He also has the sniffles and what appears to be a cold. Goodness only knows where he got it - we've been homebound since his last doctor's visit.  The nurse told us some things to do at home and what to watch for if it becomes an ear infection, or something else.  I guess Jack has inherited our affinity to catching everything that is going around!

We don't go back for a checkup for another month, but by our primitive bathroom scale, Jack is already about 8 pounds.  That is awesome news! 

This was our first weekend without visitors and we had a great time as a family.  We got to stay in while it snowed and snowed and rained and snowed Friday and Saturday.  Jack and I are getting into a schedule on weekdays so life is getting a lot less chaotic.  But we feel really spoiled on the weekends when Dad is around to help with dirty diapers and cuddle time!

    Awww, what a little doll! You'll love looking at those tiny foot-and-handprints years from now.

    Yes, it was worth the mess for sure. That is one of our favorite photos to date.

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
