If at First You Dont Succeed

Jack started walking two weeks ago. This video was taken this past weekend of Jack trying to walk up hill.

GiGgLeS!!!

Press Pause on the Music Player in the top Right of the screen for this one and turn up your volume.

Sunday Jack and Grampa Gary were playing with a tennis ball. Grampa was tossing the ball up the stairs and they were watching it bounce down. Jack thought that this was one of the funniest things EVER! The first video gives you the full show, the second video is a close-up so you can really see his face! So precious!

Summer Weekends

This weekend we were invited to a Old Fashioned New England Clambake.

Jack watched in wonder as the Men worked hard to get the fire ready for the Lobsters!


The food is under there somewhere!


Ready to eat!


We ate Clam Chowder, Mussels and Steamers, Lobster, Baked Potatoes, and Corn on the Cob!
Jack ate a bit of everything and especially LOVED the lobster!

Thank you so much for a wonderful day Shirley and Dave!
-Love Jack!



That night we spent the night at the camp with Gramma and Grampa Orrell and woke up to a BEAUTIFUL morning. Mike and Molly went for a Kayak ride.


And Jack wore his new "Life-Deserver" from Gramma Phyllis.


He and Daddy went Tubing behind the party boat.




Until Jack fell asleep to the lull of the water!


After being rejuvenated from his nap, he wanted to try more water sports. He wanted to go Jet Skiing, but mommy said no and found a better alternative!


Then it was enough with the water sports, so he played some badmitten.


Oh! And did we mention he started WALKING THIS WEEK!!!!

Jack's Pictures

We asked our friend Alana White to come over to take pictures of Jack. There are too many wonderful pictures to put them all on the blog, so i put them in a Snapfisn album instead. You can view them by clicking on the link below.

The Boston Aquarium

So we are a little behind on the Blogging. A few weeks ago, Jack's Godmother Courtney came up from Syracuse to take Jack into Boston and to go to the Aquaruim for the first time!

We went to Quincy Market for Lunch and met up with Courtney's Law Schhol friend Jeff. We walked around the shops and had some fun with Jack.

After all the fun, we walked over to the Aquarium where we met up with another Law School buddy, Jonathan.

Jack enjoyed the Penguins.

and the fish!!! He was in awe of the fish and coral and everything that he saw.

There was a big Shark in the center tank that kept following Jack.

This fish was bigger than Jack!!!

Phew! What a fun day! Jack fell asleep in the stroller with his Octopus puppet that Courtney got him while we were walking over to the North End to get some pastries at Mike's Pastries.

It was way too crowded in the pastry shop for the three of us and a stroller so we decided to use the stroller as a table and ate the yummy tiramisu, ricotta pie and canolli over Jacks head. He didn't mind, but we got alot of funny looks!

Thanks for such a nice memory Courtney!
