City of Blinding Lights

Big week this week. Friday starts our vacation to sunny Florida. We (and by we, I mean Marcy) are getting packed up and ready to go. Lily is excited to go on vacation - school has been a real drag recently and Jack is ready for a change of scenery :) But before the vacation of next week, there was the week that was.

Let's see, for Lily it was a regular week at school. She was busy with art and writing her name and reading books. She is doing really well there and loves her teacher Ms. Linda. Now when we read Knuffle Bunny Too, all the kids in the books are her friends from school and the teacher is Ms. Linda. We had our parent teacher conference this morning and her teachers had great things to say about her and her development.

Jack is doing very well too. He has slept the night each night since our last posting, sleeping until 8 some mornings. He has been eating like a champ and growing at a pretty good pace. At his eight week appointment he weighed 12 lbs., 2 oz. which placed him in the 75th percentile. He measured in at 22 inches and that put him in the 25th percentile. Marcy and I are not sure whether or not that measurement was correct because his clothes just don't seem to fit him anymore.

This past weekend Jack and I had quality time together on Friday and Saturday as Marcy and Lily were off to Aunt Tracy's baby shower. They had a great time and Lily got to spend time with her two aunts as Kelly was in town also. Sunday the kids were off to friend Zachary's birthday party. They had a good time and spent the day relaxing around the house.

No post next week as we will be away but we will see you back in two weeks. Maybe we will try to fit in a bonus post between now and then ... the fam is off to vote tomorrow morning. Lily and Jack can see democracy in action.
