Merry First-mas!


We were strolling (literally) the mall and noticed that there was no line for Santa. Luckily, Jack was totally oblivious to the fact that some strange white-bearded man was holding him until just after they snapped the photo - and he realized that both Mommy and Daddy were waving at him...

Since we are traveling this holiday we decided to have our Family Christmas a bit early. Okay, really early. But it was the last weekend before we left and what fun is Christmas on a weeknight? So Scott and Jack and I had "Christmas" on the 11th. We called it "First-mas" since we are having one later with each set of grandparents. And at least this year Jack won't really know the difference. Heck, he'll enjoy three different days of playing with wrapping paper and eating boxes.

We had lots of fun and it really felt like the real thing, until I had to go to the Dentist at 11:00. Who goes to the dentist on Christmas? I don't recommend it AT ALL.

I'll get some photos up soon of the big day. Or I may wait and put photos up of all the big days together! I can't believe he's almost 9 months old! What a fast year it has been, these last 9 months at least. I distinctly remember wondering if March would ever come last January.

Happy Holidays!

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...
