Jack and Bella

They just love being around each other! How cute!!

Jack and Bella figured out how to get M&Ms from the grown ups in the other room and then stash them back here in their special hiding place. They are out smarting us already!

Andrew and I went to one of the Inaugural Balls last week. Andrew got the tickets through work. It was the Florida State ball held in the American Indian Museum on the mall. We didn’t see Obama, but did spot several Florida representatives and the Senator from Florida Bill Nelson. We had a blast and were happy to be part of the celebration.

Condidering I took this myself, not bad, right?

The Band at the ball was great

Making Cookies

Jack likes to help me cook and bake. Here we are making cookies. Many of you know of his love for all kinds of vacuums, so it should be no surprise to learn that Jack had to quickly grab the dust buster (seen here on the counter) once a little flour spilled on the counter. Most people would just use a sponge, but not our Jack.
Needless to say the whole process takes a tad longer when you have to vacuum up every spill!

Jack and Grant Christmas dinner 2008. Uncle Matt gave Grant Walkie Talkies.

Grandma and Grandpa gave Jack a Doctor Kit for Christmas. Jack took to the syringe and starting giving everyone and everything a shot. Here, even his new fire truck needs a shot.

This is Jack's new 'smile' - Christmas PJs and robe complements of Grandma and Grandpa

Christmas Morning 2008 - That stocking is almost bigger than him!

Happy Birthday Jack!

Jack had his 3rd birthday party last week and had a blast. Thanks to all that helped us celebrate!

Jack is obsessed with lawn equipment, especially leaf blowers. Uncle Matt gave Jack a Black and Decker toy leaf blower and it was a big hit, as you'll see from the photos below.
