May Misc

Mid May we had Carol's Mom out from Massachusetts to visit for Jack's 1st Birthday.......also visiting were Allen and Rosy, who are now back from Chicago. Allen, Ron, Carol and Mary Ann went to a Red Sox game at Safeco Field.

Jack's 1st birthday party! May 16, 2009

Jack loves his big John Deere from Granny!

A backup "Big Boy Carseat" for when Daddy picks him up!

Uh oh, the cake - We've learned Jack isn't into too much stickiness on his hands...so he wasn't too entertained by the cake!

About now was when he started fussing and wanting to be done with the cake!

Jack's 1st Birthday !

May 13, 2009 - Jack turned 1. We did just a family celebration at home and will do his big party on Saturday. At first he didn't like the cupcake, but soon tasted it and liked it! However, the sticky, greasy frosting on his hands was really starting to annoy him and just like that - he was done with the whole scene! Big Sis Josie helped Jack open up his presents! (yes, that's a shiner on her cheek - ran into a bookshelf at daycare - so coordinated!?)

Jack's 1st Haircut - From Baby to Boy!

Already miss his little curls!

Jack sat on Ron's lap for his first cut - meanwhile, Josie was getting her hair cut on Carol's lap

At home afterwards showing us how he is just a big boy now - a haircut and being able to walk - he's not a baby anymore!
