I should be napping...


but i can't. for a few reasons.

1. it is SNOWING like crazy outside! it is incredible!


2. LOST starts in a week and a half. feb 2. i can't wait.
the anticipation is killing me.

3. jack is sleeping soundly next to me and suddenly i have a burst of energy.


Jack is growing like a weed. He weighed in at 14.3lbs on Wednesday and 25 inches long! The boy has been growing. He's still not a real regular pooper, so we're trying to get a handle on that.
Who knew that I would be PRAYING my little guy would poop?

I'm thinking of trying out wordpress.com. Anyone tried it before?


I wish I could have seen what 3 months would do. My mom kept telling me that at 3 months life will begin to feel normal again. I wasn't sure if normal existed anymore. Now, three months into this mothering thing I have begun to see what she was talking about. For one, Jack has begun to smile and baby coo. It's been delightful! He's also started sleeping longer at night (10:30pm-5:00am! Full nights rest for me!) And I wasn't sure if that would EVER happen. But is has and boy is it great! At the same time I can hardly believe how fast it has gone. I already miss his real baby face.

In three short months our son has grown from this...




to THIS!





and during this time we three traveled to michigan to see john's family...
tried to catch up on some lost sleep...
met up with good friends for a couple of hours...
and spent Christmas with my family too...


overall, the months have flown and our little jack is such a joy.

speaking of...he is currently stirring and making all sorts of noises and movements. i think he's hungry.

...i'll leave with this one.

john absolutely HATES the flash.

He is SO cute!! And I definitely agree with the LOST excitement. I just hope all our questions are answered by the end of the season!! If not, I just might break my TV, or the people's TV we watch the show on. They might not like that too much...

Oh sis thanks so so so very much for updating. I check you almost everyday and I was so happy to see the new pics and read of all the new excitments and the months that have passes since you welcomed little peanut. Ok you three are quite the addorible little family. I'm trying ever so hard now not to be the jerk that I am and be compleatly jelious that holly got to meet jack and hold him before me. (This is a hard feat though). I love you crony.

JACK! You look like your mama and dada!

I tried Wordpress. Not a fan. Tumblr I heard is getting popular. Haven't tried that. I like Blogger though because its connected to gmail, so there's not an extra sign in.

I love your family picture!
