Happy Birthday to Jack part 1

Jack turned 1 year old this past Saturday. This year has just flown by. Seems like it takes forever to get through the 9 months of pregnancy, but when the baby gets here, times just flies. So I am going to reminisce and post some pictures of my babies first year.

The Flu got us....

and I mean all of us. I had it first and thankfully it was just a couple of days. Jack got it next and it was so hard on his little body. It lasted a whole week for him and he started to get seriously dehydrated (even cried with no tears), he almost had to go to the hospital. It is so pitiful so see your baby so sick and there is nothing you can do, but hold him. We could not get him to eat or drink anything, so finally had to take a syringe and shoot pedialite down his throat. Then it was Bruce's turn, who also had a bad case and finally Madison, who like me had a mild case. But we are all better now and today was the first day we have all been well in the last two weeks. I would not wish this own my worst enemy.

First Steps

Jack officially took his first step on his own on 1/30/07. He loves to walk around while someone is holding his hands but does realize when he wants to get somewhere crawling is faster. It won't be long until he is walking all around.

Back to School

Madison started back to school last week and is having a great time. She loves her teacher Mrs. Blackwood and has a new buddy, Anna. They became fast friends on Madison's first day. Friday she brought home the Alpha Bucket and had to return it today filled with 3 things that begin with the letter R. She picked a ruler, red heart and raisins.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW , LET IT SNOW

kitten has lost her mittens.

So her hands were cold.

Madison and Jack. We found a pair of gloves

for Madison and Jack kept pulling his off to eat

or through on the ground.

This morning we woke up to snow. Madison was so excited to see that it had snowed. We got dressed early and went outside to see the snow, but the sleet was already starting at 8:30 am. As I am typing I can see the power lines starting to sag with ice. Hopefully the power will not go out this afternoon. This was the first time Madison or Jack have seen snow so of course we had to take a picture.
