Jack at Grandma and Grandpa's house. His new favorite thing to do there is press his face against the glass door. Sophie was there to supervise.

Matt and his headlight. Looking good.

Uncle Bryan and Jack wrestling.

Bryan, Emily and the "Pickle". This year Mom found the pickle in the tree and received a lovely assortment of Jones holiday pack sodas. Needless to say, nobody wanted to open and try broccoli casserole, turkey, or salmon flavored pop. Yuk. Those crazy newlyweds.

Jack and Mickey playing on the floor. Jack loves the dogs, the dogs are very "tolerable" of Jack.

Jack at 6 months. He is starting to sit up better...with the help of Mickey.

Aunt Emily came to visit. We went to an Art fair in South Bend. Jack and Emily became best buds, and Emily was a real natural with Jack.

Our new home in South Bend!!

Matt took me out to dinner for my first Mother's Day. We were at Patty's house and Jack is in the background screaming. In fact, he screamed the whole time we where gone. It was a nice dinner though.
