Family Visits


Jack and Antie Marian

Jack and Carla (cousin)
Uncle Tom and Aunt Jetta

What an exciting weekend we all had! Uncle Tom and Aunt Jetta Tressell visited from Idaho Falls (where Mom and Dad met just a few years ago!!).  We had a great visit over two days.  Friday afternoon everyone met at our house for Pizza.  Saturday  Jack and I spent the morning at Uncle John's house in Westminster then met at Jim and Carla's house in Arvada. We met Shellie and Matthew there, as well as Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie and Emerson, who came between a wedding and a reception they were attending.  Jack and I did not stay for dinner since Dad had worked and wasn't feeling well.  But it was great to see everyone again.

     We are excited for Jack's baptism this Sunday after Mass.   Nonie and Papa Sudar left today (Wednesday) for Colorado.  They will be in Walsenburg tomorrow and up here Friday. We are so excited to see them again!  I will post pictures and maybe a video of Sundays' events for all to see.  We are really excited to have Jack baptised.  Uncle Robert and Aunt Nat are his godparents!

    Thanks to all who we got to see this weekend. It was really a fun time!

    I notice Jack is crying when Uncle Tom is holding him.

    I had the same reaction when I first met Uncle Tom. He grew on me tho.

    I was worried you were going to say you had the same reaction the first time Uncle Tom held you. That would have been awkward.

Cut Out the Middle Man

I t was snack time at the Christensen house and I decided to use up some leftover cream cheese and salsa and chips (just lying around -I promise!!) Jack, as it turns out is new to the world of dipping. I used some of his crunchies and dipped it in the salsa cheese mix. He seemed to enjoy the flavor of it. I went into the kitchen to fix us both a drink and when I came back out I realized that Jack decided he'd had enough of the middle man and went right into dipping with the tools God gave him! I laughed so hard I had to share it with you! No One's Around to Catch Me... E xcep t Mom and her camera... I guess he thought it was good bean dip! He ate the rest of the bowl!!

7 Weeks Old!

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go! Smile for Daddy! Baby, You Can Drive My Car Well, Little Jack is almost 8 weeks old now.  He has been a busy boy, and we are starting to get into a more regular routine. I think it is good for all involved.  We usually get up about when Daddy does at 5:00.  Sometimes we get another nap after that first meal, but sometimes we don't. And that's OK.   Our new nighttime routine involves bath-time at 7:00 (on bath days) so that he can eat and drift off to sleep and maybe give Mom and Dad an hour before their 9:00 bedtime.   Jack can still usually go 4 hours at night. Sometimes we are unlucky and he gets up every 2 hours.  This is rare now.  Sometimes we are very lucky and  he'll sleep 6 to 8 hours.  Not too often, but it is a taste of things to come.  He is getting really good at holding his head up.  I think he gets bored on some days because you cannot just leave him in his bouncy seat - he cries and cries.  He went into the doctor's last...

Second First: First day of School!

Well, the day finally came. It felt like we waited a long time, but the day arrived quickly nonetheless. The first day of school! Maybe it seemed to come so soon since the kids start school when they are 2 1/2 or 3 now. Guess there's more to learn than when I was a kid, LOL. It was more stressful than I thought to select a school. We visited a few local(ish) schools and finally settled on Holy Cross Lutheran Early Learning Center . It's only 15 minutes away, which is pretty close for where we live. We liked this preschool mainly because of the small size of the classes. And when we took Jack for a tour he seemed the most comfortable. So I guess in the end the choice was pretty simple - I just over worry about things most of the time. So he goes Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 - 12:00. It's an adjustment for all of us, but so far so good. Ready to Leave  That was Jack all ready to go on the first day. Eventually he'll grow into that backpack. B...
