jack is back

Its been a little while but I have returned from an extended stay just 3o minutes away at Grandma and Poppy D's. Grandma actually took care of me for a couple hours every day while Mommy had to help Cousin Jimmy. I was really scared at first to be without Mommy and Daddy. But Grandma D did a really good job. I think we bonded! This is my new hat from my other Grandma - Grandma P! I am one lucky guy.

Mommy filled the laundry basket with water and let me play in it! Now that's resourceful!

I share my wagon with my cousins.. even if they are all girls!

Father's Day Wishes

Dear Daddy, I'd really like to let you know today - how much I enjoy the time we spend together - when you give me a bath at the end of the day, change my diaper in the wee hours of the morning, and all our walks up to the park with Abbey. I especially like weekend mornings when we sneak out of bed - trying not to wake Mommy and head downstairs to fix the coffee.

I have big plans for us, Daddy - hanging out in the treehouse we will build, taking long bike rides on Sunday afternoons, weekend camping trips, skim boarding at the beach, snowboarding in the winter, learning to use power tools, taking fishing trips with you and my Grandpas, and of course... sharing a cheese steak at the counter at D'Allesandro's.

Alot of people say I look like you - I hope that means I am going to grow up to be like you too...
Happy First Father's Day Daddy. Love, Jack

so it's true..

... that mommy and daddy's do start to look like each other after awhile....
