Birthdays


My Mom, Christie, Bonnie, Dad and my brother, Matt in the back (acting crazy like usual)

This last week my sisters had their birthday on the 28th. Happy Birthday Sisters!!


This last weekend I went to my friend, Dian's birthday party. Happy Birthday Dian!
I got to go all by myself too!! I was there a whole two hours!! I could have stayed longer, but Mr. Jack isn't too happy with a bottle - he prefers Mama - so David and I are working on getting him back on taking a bottle again. Wish us luck!

Friends, Bikes and Smiles


Bike...Nicole...smiling

This was a good week. Fairly normal really. We are all finally healthy!!!

David found a great great sale on tricycles and got Lily one. She is doing well! She knows how to peddle, but it still learning how to really get going on it. She is learning to steer as well. I had a few friends stop by and got to see a few friends at their houses: Thanks Cat, LaRain, Christine and Nicole!

I absolutely love when Jack smiles. It makes my day!

This weekend is a Sip and See for Jack. My friends, Jenny and Deb are hosting. My friends get to Sip on cocktails and See Baby Jack. We were supposed to have this back in February, but this was during the time Jack was in the hospital. Looking forward to seeing the girlfriends and having an adult beverage! I'm still breastfeeding, so I'll just have one :)

Swimming!



Lily awaiting the pool...in the pool with Daddy...Mommy and Lily playing with the camera.

Today we took Lily to her first swim lesson. She LOVED it. She loved it so much, she screamed all the way home and for another 20 minutes at home? Ah, two year olds. Once she settled down, we had some lunch and talked about how much fun it is to swim. Daddy got to swim with Lily today as I'm fighting a cold and just am not up for swimming. I will try to hit the pool next week. This is a good practice for me too as I have always been very very embarrassed about being in the pool with my not-so-model shape. But, this is an opportunity to have fun with my child and I won't let my cellulite get in my way.

The streak is over

So what streak you may ask? My antibiotic streak. I haven't taken antibiotics since 1994 for an ear infection. Unfortunately, I ended my streak this week. I ended up with mastitis, which is quite painful and makes you feel icky. Perhaps after this dose, I can try to go for another 15 years without antibiotics?

Tonight David and I get to go on a date! My friend, Nicole will be watching the kids for us. Thanks Nicole! I really do have some great friends out here! My goal is to try to go on a date with David once a month. I think we really need it as the last two years we really haven't spent much time together just us.


Jack has been very smiley lately!
