The Fair

This past week, my parents, Jack and I went to the Prince William County Fair. Jack got the chance to pet some of the animals, including a pot belly pig and a rabbit. And he got soft serve ice cream as a treat to help keep him cool.

A Post for My Amazing Husband

This past weekend, I got dolled up and went out for a night on the town--with the girls. And you know what my loving and amazing husband did? He stayed with Jack, put him to sleep and then spent an hour cleaning up the house. He even made me iced tea! I'm not sure if there could be a better husband. I probably don't say it enough, but thank you, Terry!

This picture cracks me up. I was positioned just around the corner from our kitchen island, so when Jack crawled out, I was able to catch his look of excitement and surprise.

I love this picture of Jack. He looks so sweet and adorable. I just want to eat him up, he's so cute.

This is Cousin Jack's Mr. P, which little Jack thought would make a great farmer. Mr. P. goes everywhere with Jack, along with another large dog named Dougie and a smaller dog named New Puppy. As you can tell, Cousin Jack loves dogs.

Thank God for Grandparents!

Today, Terry and I received a call from my parents asking us if we wanted them to babysit today. Did we? Oh YES we did! So, for the first time in over a year, Terry and I went to see a movie together. I was absolutely giddy when I got in the car, child-free, knowing that for the next three hours I could just relish in something mindless and fun. It was the first time that Terry and I had left the kid with someone with the intention of doing something fun. Thank you, Mom and Dad!!! We had a great time and saw Batman. I'm not really a Batman fan (Spiderman is my favorite), but this was a really fantastic movie. Heath Ledger's Joker was completely twisted, in a fun, yet disturbing way and I really enjoyed Aaron Eckhart's character of Harvey Dent. Today was such a treat! Yay for Grandparents!
