Yard Work
Last fall right after we moved in to the new house we decided the landscaping in the front yard had to go, so we pulled out all the overgrown bushes. This spring we are building new flower beds and putting in a nice stone wall around the bed. Before we do this we had to check one of the drain lines that didnt seem to be draining quite right. Jack helped with the digging and I think he jumped in almost every hole we dug.

Easter Egg Hunt
Today we went up to Delaware for the Greif Easter Egg Hunt. Jack didnt mind that it was a little cold outside.
Very proud of his egg!
Jack picking up a few eggs!
Who needs a basket when you have a hood. This also kept him entertained because he would bend over to pick up and egg and another one would roll out of his hood in front of him.
He was very fascinated with the bunny, but didnt really enjoy sitting on the bunny's lap. I think he knows the "real" easter bunny is in Canton :)
He walked up to the bunny a few times on his own so we figured he wanted to try sitting on his lap again. He ended up sitting on his lap 3 times, but immediately tried to jump off. He was very content just standing a few feet in front of the bunny and then trying to follow it around when it was time for the bunny to leave.
This is his best picture with the bunny.

Layover in Detroit
On our way home from Virginia Beach we had a 30 minute scheduled layover in Detroit. We didn't bring a stroller for Jack since it was such a short layover. But of coarse our flight was delayed 2 1/2 hours. And if you know Jack, you know he thinks its funny to run away and doesn't listen when you tell him to come back. So we came up with this as a solution.
Gigi sat in the wheelchair and held Jack as I pushed her around the airport for 2 hours!
We were looking at the map of the airport and saw there was a "Kid's Play Area". We decided to travel across 2 concourses to find it.
and this little shack is what we found.
I was pretty disappointed, but Jack was easy to please (thank God)!
We had a pretty good time

Double Fisted
As some of you may know, Jack has had some issues with drinking milk. I tried hot, cold, chocolate, vanilla, soy, straw, sippycup... but he wouldn't drink any type of milk. I kept trying for 2 1/2 months and just 2 weeks ago he finally gave in! Here's the video...

Virginia Beach 2010
Its been almost a year since our last visit to Virginia Beach. So Jack, Gigi, and I went down to visit Jack's new baby cousin, Evelyn. We had tons of fun visiting with the Virginia Giarranas and meeting Baby Evelyn.
Evelyn is so teeny tiny (now 6 lbs) it made Jack look huge! She is so precious- we miss her already!
Their whole family!
Gigi with her 2 youngest grandkids
Jack got a kick out of the glass doors
Evelyn and her mommy, Julie. You would never know she just had a baby 1 month ago!
so happy!

Party Time
We traveled to Canton a few weekends ago for Uncle Mike and Papa John's birthday. Jack gave his Papa the best present...he ran right into Papa's arms with a big smile!
Look at that face! He's so precious!
Here's Jack playing with one of his favorite toys (thank you Aunt Amy)!

Libby's Arch Nemesis
I don't think this needs explained if you know Libby, but if not, this is Libby about to freak out because a squirrel is within a mile of her. She is known to patrol the yard to keep the animals out.
Taken last weekend in Canton during the birthday party weekend.

Links to Videos
Sorry, but some people have said the videos didn't work for them. Not sure why. We have been having lots of trouble uploading videos to flickr and then posting them on the blog. Here are the direct links to the videos from the last two posts.

Outside Videos
On our way to the park. He wouldn't wear his own gloves so the solution was to put gloves over his hands and up his entire arm. This way he wouldn't pull them off.
Hilliard does a pretty good job of keeping snow off the roads and bike paths, but the path into the park was still snow covered and we didn't have the Blizzak Snow Tires installed on the Crazy Coupe this year. We'll have to talk to Birthday Buddy, older cousin??, and Manager of Ziegler Tire, John H. Ziegler III about that.
A few videos from playing in the snow. I think the funniest one is the last one once we went back inside. He had a meltdown because we made him come inside. All he wanted to do was go back outside.

"Night-Night"
Jack is at such an exciting age right now. He is finally able to respond and show us he actually understands what we are saying to him. Last week when I said, "Jack let's go night-night" he ran to the steps and repeated "night-night"!
This time when he went to the steps, I guess he couldn't go without his favorite bike!
I'll post the video as soon as we can upload it.
