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.

New Ride!

Well, it's no Mustang, but it is black! What we got was a 2009 Pontiac Vibe. At any rate, we both like it. It was a reasonable price for a smaller sized family-with-lots-of-stuff car. It served the purpose of "ease of child seat access" and "can load many groceries plus a dog" into the back.  (You should have seen us try to get the rocking chair into the Mustang.)  It also serves the gas economy purpose (31/28 advertised) and was not a big SUV, or a minivan. I have never been fond of driving huge cars or trucks! It looks like a five door hatchback to us, but I guess it is technically listed as a "wagon." Some things go full circle, eh Mom?  Maybe a bit cooler than the Corona Wagon we drove in Texas, or whatever it was called.  Sorry the photo isn't super great, it's raining and cold so I pretty much didn't want to go out of the garage.  There are some more photos on our Flickr account (see link to right "other photos...")   It act...

4th of July and Other Buzz News

Greetings to all! I have finally had time to upload some more photos for Flickr and the blog and can keep you up to date on the Buzz around our water cooler, so to speak. :-) We've had a busy 2 months! Nonie and Papa Sudar came to visit for a few weeks at the end of June and through the 4th of July. We all had a good time. We spent a few days down in Walsenburg with most of the Tressells which Jack really enjoyed. And we really enjoyed the small break from constantly watching Jack! Thanks everyone!! Catch Papa! Bubbles in Walsenburg Cousins Making Cookies! Since we've been back we have been working on getting all the stuff in our garage either back into the basement, into the trash, or ready for donation. Our goal is simple: both cars inside by winter. Hopefully we can make it happen! So far things are going pretty well with Baby Buzz. We went to the doctor's last week for an ultrasound because I was measuring small (just like last time). This time I guess Buzz is a li...

I'm Gonna Have To Get a Female Cat. . .

Today was our 20 week ultrasound and appointment! Everything is going really well. Baby looks to be about 9 oz in weight and has a good heartbeat of about 132 bpm. But enough stalling! It appears I remain outnumbered in our home now - 3 boys to 1 girl (5:1 if you count our feline friends!). That's right folks, another boy! How many of you were right??? We were able to get a nice "up from the bottom" shot that confirmed the gender. We also took a nice shot of his foot, and his profile. Actually, I think I was in there for 45 minutes and she took about 50 shots of various organs and body parts. We got the two thumb's up from the doctor that he's looking great. I also got some medicine to try if my nausea continues to be a burden. Yes, just today I was feeling sick again. *sigh* Just for comparison I looked up some of the posts from this time with Jack: Nov 2008 Some things are the same: I still can't eat fruit without feeling sick, and I'm dropping thing...
