Almost to the home stretch

Howdy all!
Just had another appointment and all is well. The appointments are a lot shorter this time - fewer questions on my part I guess. We're into week 25! Not too much longer to go now!!!

We have all been doing really well. Our latest project is working on Jack's new room. Since we finally finished our basement, we were able to move all our office stuff down to the 'lair' and last weekend we painted that room - it has to have been the worst in the house as far as paint goes. Well, maybe 2nd worst...

Scott picked out a nice color Jack calls "chocholate milkshake" and he thinks the room is "so nice". His new 'big brother bed' is in and we'll go pick it up tomorrow as well as a few more things for his closet (which will be his wardrobe to save space in the room).

Anyway I'll have pictures of it soon, after it's completed. Then we'll have less to do to make a nursery except put the sides back on the crib and move all of Jack's clothes and his shelves to his new room.

Otherwise things have been pretty normal around here. Jack has been in a pottery class, which has been an interesting experience. He still doesn't like to have his hands dirty so he wouldn't manipuate the clay at all (yes, that was mom's job) and as soon as he got any paint on his hand or arm he was done: "wash hands please!". But it you asked him he always had fun and was excited to go back to class. That's what matters! I did get him to do a handprint but we had to kind of bribe him with a sticker to encourage him.

I have been feeling well and really haven't had too many strange cravings or anything like that. The ususal stuff I guess: bread, cheeseburgers, burritos.

Here's what we were doing at this time with Jack (it was Christmastime!)

I'll get some photos up soon, this moving in when we already live here is almost as hard as moving in the first time!

Until next time...

    I'm so glad you're feeling better, Dena. Eat up; it's a blessing to be thin and pregnant--and not to have to worry about the doctor nagging you about your weight! Can't wait to see pics of Jack's room! Mary L.

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...
