Christmas Eve

At long last Christmas is here. I thought before talking about Christmas I would tell you what I did yesterday.

We started out the day at Merrie, Gus, and Eddie's house. Jimmy and Owen were there too. I was there with them, not that you could tell from this picture.

OK, that's better.



It was a super fun party. Exhausting though. This was midday for Luke.

And me and Mommy*.

* Last Mommy/Jack nap -- 6/17/2008.

From there it was on to Grandma's house.

Yep, it's Christmas Eve, it says so right on the Christmas calendar at Grandma's.

There were some fun presents from our aunts.

Daddy and Luke were hanging out with Daddy's old bear.


Back home Mommy and Luke made cookies for Santa and we wrote him a nice note.

In the next post we'll see if he came or not (I'd put the news in this post, but I am looking for page counts so I will force you to click through again :)).

Love,

Jack

Halloween and other fall events

Back to School - Year 2

So I started another year of school. Pretty excited. Jodie and I are working well together already and it's great to see my friends.

Here I am on day 1.

They love each other...

Lord you can see that it's true...

They have fun even waiting out time out together.

Last day of school

I finished up my first year of school earlier this month. Wow. What a year. I made tons of progress, made lots of new friends, and generally had a great time.

Here's Luke pushing the elevator button to send me on my way.

Proud parents. Disinterested student.

Luke and Amy observe the proceedings from the window.

And a perfect finish: Patty got me out of the car!

I'm having fun this summer, but I won't be sad when it's time to go back.

A Few Things We've Been Doing

We've gone to the park:

And we've been playing at home. "Hey, kid, get out of there!" (A line from Charlie Brown Valentine that Luke loves that inspired his climbing in the toy box so people would tell him to get out.)

Aunt Julie has been coming over on Thursdays to help us take a bath.

Some typing - by Jack

The other night I learned how to press buttons on the computer and make them show up on the screen (I know, I've been typing on my blog for a while -- just play along.)

I typed the following into a Word document and now, with some help, copy and paste it onto my blog. The two digits numbers are, of course, Reds numbers.

Mommy took us to the lake!

Mommy took us to the lake to hang out for the weekend. It was really nice of her and we had a lot of fun!

So happy together...

Lukey turns 2

Luke had his 2YO birthday party last month (where I had my third party). Great times were had.
