Nursery Is Finished! (Finally)




Yeah! His nursery is finally finished.  And last night was his first night in his own room! I think it was harder for me than for him. He has been sleeping from 7:30 to about 3:30 or 4:00 so we figured we would try it out.

We went down to Walsenburg this weekend and Jack slept in the living room, so we had some practice and that made the choice easier when we got home. 

We had a good time and visited both Jack's Great Aunt Marian (Antie) and Great-Great Aunt Louise. And, of course, we forgot our camera! They were both doing well and we had a really nice visit.  Jack was well behaved and enjoyed meeting both of them.  He laughed and talked a lot this weekend.

We learned that my dad's maternal grandfather's name was Jack ("Yacko" is how they pronounce it in Croatian) so Louise called him "Yacko"the whole day.  We also read the Downing family newsletter on the way down (Scott's side of the family), and learned that there was a guy named John Preston who lived in the 1700s and is related to our family. He has a tomb in Massachusetts and Scott's Mom saw it when she was a girl. 

Overall, an exciting weekend. Now back to our normal routine. We learned a lot about traveling and what we needed and did not need.  It was fun and relaxing for all of us. Have a great day!

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...
