Happy Birthday, Jack!

I am the worst father… ever.  Its been three weeks since Jack’s third birthday and I haven’t yet posted anything. Terrible.  Terrible, terrible, terrible.  So, without further ado… I can’t believe our little Jack turned 3!  Three!  Tres!  Unbelievable!  It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.

I am the worst father… ever.  Its been three weeks since Jack’s third birthday and I haven’t yet posted anything. Terrible.  Terrible, terrible, terrible.  So, without further ado…

I can’t believe our little Jack turned 3!  Three!  Tres!  Unbelievable!  It seems like only yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.  Now he’s like a regular person.  Well, a ridiculous person is more like it.

This year Jack’s birthday fell on a Saturday.  It was nice.  Since he is older — and now has little friends from School and Gymboree and home — we decided to have a little kid’s party.  We had it Gymboree.  First, let me just say that it was amazing.  The people at Gymboree were EXCELLENT!  The party was a huge success and it was all in thanks to the staff at Gymboree.  I didn’t have to do a thing.  It was so nice to just be able to enjoy the party… and take a lot of pictures.

Jack had a good time too… It was so much fun.  To any parent out there reading this, Gymboree (or a place like it) is the way to go.  It was especially nice since Jack is a member so the woman who did the party was his regular teacher and he had kids from his class there.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

We also had a small party for Jack with my in laws at Aunt Christy’s new apartment (the second set of photos).  Jack got some great gifts and spent time with his family and friends.

Nana’s Birthday

As is the tradition, we go to Jen’s parent’s house Thanksgiving weekend for my mother-in-law’s birthday.  As part of the celebration, we help decorate their tree.  Jack has become quite the decor-A-tor!  This was no exception. He was not having a great day, and was a little cranky, but we […]

He was not having a great day, and was a little cranky, but we all survived.

Jack’s Second Birthday

It seems like only yesterday we were leaving the hospital and bringing home this little crying baby… and Jack.  And now, here he is, in his Terrible Twos.  We opted out of the big party this year for a series of smaller family parties.  There will be plenty of time for big ridiculous kids parties and we had the big first birthday last year.  It was nice to have some smaller more low key events.  Add this to all the other May/June events and the fact that Jen and I were leaving for Maui Memorial Day weekend, we had more than enough to do without having to plan a big party.

He had a great time this year.  He loved the cake and ice cream and cupcakes.  Things were much better than last year when he refused cake and then cried so hard he threw up.  He really is growing up to be quite the little man.  Jen and I are so lucky.

Here are some highlights…

JACK TURNS 1!

Who would have thought this year would have gone by so quickly.  I guess looking back it wasn’t THAT fast, but now that we are here, I can’t believe it has been a year already.  Jen and I have certainly learned a lot from each other and from Jack in this past year.

The party was great.  We had it in the party room of our complex.  The food was great.  I wish the A/C worked a little better.  And I wish Jack had a little bit more of a nap, but he made it through the whole party like a champ.

The only problem is that he didn’t want any cake.  I guess since it wasn’t made of peas he didn’t want it.  Yes, my son hates cake… loves peas!
