Easter

Campus Crusade for Christ had a family event, and Jack participated in the Easter Egg hunt.  He wasn't into hunting. He would rather share with others....I am sure next year he will have a different attitude.

not sure about this

Over 15,000 eggs

I am set!

Happy Birthday Jack

Amazing...Miracle...Loving...Sweet Boy...Blessing...Gift...Cute...Makes my Heart Beat...One of a Kind...

For Jack's Birthday, we headed North (he loved looking out the window of the airplane). 

 Once we arrived, we decorated, baked, cooked, sewed, created, glued, and so much more.  (According to Matt I had already spent hundreds of hours on decorations and organization before we even left Orlando!)  

We had so much fun celebrating our son's special day!!  

Waiting for his VERY important guests

We had two parties. One with the Wolfes.

Grandma the Great helped me with his onesie (we even had a back up)

cake number two: white

Jack remembered just what to do...but his cousin showed him how
his mouth can go right into the cake---you don't need to use your hands

...we were also able to spend time with family and friends.  

We've been friends since we were 10 years old

What a great look!?!

The weather was beautiful and we got to see a lot of Spring Flowers.

March 2012

We had company non-stop for the month of March.  We enjoyed spending time with everyone who came to see us.  

Excited to have some cake with Bops

Matt's brother Jack came and stayed with us for a week.  He had shirts made for himself and for our little Jack.

                        

We had a lot of fun together.  

We went swimming and lil' Jack loved the water

Twins for church

Matt's cousin, Andre, came and joined us for a little over a week.  And having him here was a great help.  He did three photo shoots of Jack's first year pictures.  Here are just a sampling....

He also used Photoshop and completed this project for us.  

(I am eternally grateful.)
