Halloween Fun




Okay, okay, I know I am seriously behind on updating everyone on Jack's adventures. My apologies. However, if he didn't keep having so many great adventures, maybe I would have more time to update. Anywho, things are going along at a breakneck speed at our house. With the little man walking everywhere and getting into everything, keeping up with Jack has become quite a job. He is everywhere! Before you know it, he is rounding the corner into the kitchen and has not only managed to get a handful of dog food but also to find the mini chopper which he finds quite useful in making music. Needless to say, Justin and I are constantly running after him and putting things up that he should not touch and trying to teach him what is appropriate to play with. That being said, Jack pretty much has a mind of his own and regardless of what we say, he does what he wants. I know some of that is due to his age, but he has a stubborn streak a mile long (just like both of his parents)! We had a great first birthday party. Thanks to everyone who was able to make it. Jack really enjoyed playing with all the boxes and wrapping paper that his gifts came in. Next time, think cardboard. It makes the boy really happy. Then, we had a really fun Halloween. Jack was a dragon - courtesy of T (Tina) and Gus was dressed as Jack's damsel in distress. Pink sequins on his dress and everything. It was great. We took them both to the Trunk or Treat event up at church where they were both quite a hit. Jack wanted to touch everything we didn't want him to touch and refused to be carried at all. I got quite a few dirty looks as my son went tripping along, but what could I do? He was quite proud of himself and I was as well. So, I am including pictures from Jack's first birthday, Homecoming at Lambuth University, and Halloween. Hope you enjoy!
