Time to Wake Up Little Boy

Handcrafted & Personalized Thoughtfulness

Jack is fortunate to have many very generous friends who have lavished him with clothes, books, blankets, and toys. There are a few handmade and personalized items that we thought were especially thoughtful and we wanted to share.

- Mindy's Aunt Nancy knitted the soft baby blue sweater.
- Mindy's cousin, Kari, sewed the quilt that beautifully complements the nursery.
- Mindy's cousin, Debra, sent the personalized blue blanket with Jack's name, weight, and length. -
- Mindy's Mom knitted the cute baby blanket with the heart design and mint green border.
- Tom's Aunt Carrie knitted the multicolored baby blanket that is of the same design her grandfather created for her when she was born. (Pictured at left).

Birth Announcement

Week 2 recap -- Auntie Peggi arrives

At two weeks of age, Jack is back up to his original birth weight which is right on target.

Auntie LindaR from San Francisco made us her special turkey chili with enough to freeze for several more hearty meals. The chili is delish and very much appreciated!

Auntie Peggi arrived on Friday 03-06-09 from Charlotte, NC and stayed with us for a week. Peggi has lots of energy and love so Jack and Stella took to her immediately. Jack secured another doting fan and Stella was spoiled with lots of attention and naps on Peggi's bed. She was so helpful this week with making us dinner, making and freezing several weeks worth of food, assuming Stella-duty and walking her up and down 2 flights of stairs several times a day, doting over Jack and ensuring he is changed, and generally keeping the house in order. Sharing Jack's early days with Peggi has been special because she is like Mindy's sister. With everyone's busy schedules, we're grateful she took time from her life to share this moment in ours.

Getting some rest

Open House: Sunday, 03-01-09, 12 - 3pm -- Meet Jack Blossom

We held an Open House this past weekend to introduce our friends to Jack. Several friends dropped by and Jack was good while being passed around from one person's arms to the next. Stella peed on the rug (thanks to Renea for coming to a swift rescue) but whatever - we're pretty sure everything in the house is now going to be christened with pee or poop at least once in the coming months.
