Potty Time

Ahhhhh..... two year olds are just too funny sometimes :o) Jack went into the bathroom tonight and brought me his potty. I was sitting at the kitchen table feeding Luke and he marches right up with this thing and yells "POTTY!!" He then proceeds to take the potty in to show Papa how he can sit on it. He just kept yelling "POTTY". I refuse to believe that he is ready to start potty training.... but at least this is a start.... a funny start :o)

Underway....

Michael left this morning for his government vacation :o) Now that we are underway.... I am going to be updating the blog every day....yes, every day! I imagine it will be filled with details that seem meaningless, but I hope it will keep Michael feeling closer to what's going on here. Day one, almost done.... only 365 to go. I am more thankful now than ever for the wonderful, supportive, and loving people in our lives.

Happy Birthday (Again) Jack!!!

We celebrated Jack's big day once again.... but this time was with Daddy! We had a special dinner of Morrocan chicken with sweet potatoes and cous-cous. Grammy set up a table in the living room right in front of the fireplace. It was wonderful! We played ring-around-the-rosey and had fun with balloons! Jack had the best little time! He especially loved his football cake!

Red, White and Blue (Times Two!)

This is my absolute favorite picture of Jack! I couldn't wait for Luke to turn 6 months so we could try to take the same pic of him. I love it!! Jack always was a chubbier baby, but I can see the resemblance now more than ever.

(This is a picture of a picutre... so it's not the clearest.)

Mr. Potato Head

Some great friends sent Jack his first Mr. Potato head as a birthday gift! He did pretty well for his first time putting one together. He has an ear for a mouth, an ear for an arm, a tounge for a nose, and teeth for an ear.... not too shabby!

Baltimore and McGuire AFB

We left on Thursday morning for Baltimore to pick up our van. There was this awesome park right by the airport. We saw about 15 planes land while we were there. Jack thought it was the coolest thing in the world! Riding in a make-believe choo-choo train was so much fun with Cousin Josh!

Jack was pretending his leaf was an airplane.... it was adorable :o)

It was actually pretty cool to see these planes landing right over this playground!

Jack was in awe.......

Grammy and Jack raced down the slide!

Jack was going too fast down head first... oops! Yes, instead of helping him up I was busy taking pictures!

Luke was there, too, of course.

Finally, we made to McGuire AFB and got to see Daddy! Michael has been learning magic tricks at his training.

JACK IS TWO!!!

My baby is TWO!!! I can't believe it, he is growing up so fast! He continues to amaze me every day with the things he understands and says and I couldn't be more proud as I watch him grow. We won't be offically celebrating his big day until Michael gets home next weekend.... but we had a great day making cookies and had his favorite dinner... pizza and applesauce!
