Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

Today is my Grandpa's 81st birthday.  He is my only grandparent still living, so it is always great to see him.  We were lucky to have him come visit this weekend for my cousins wedding and he got to meet Jack for the first time.  Emma and Jack are his first great grandchildren, so he thinks they are pretty special, and Emma always has a fun time playing with Great Grandpa.  Happy Birthday Grandpa!  Here's the only photo I got of them this weekend,  unfortunately Emma looks like an orphan.  

More of Baby Jack

Emma always calls Jack "Baby Jack" so I find myself doing the same.  He is 17 days old now, and he's a very sweet little guy.  Here's some of my favorite photos from the past 2 weeks.

Emma started preschool two days after we brought Jack home, so I just got around to posting photos now.  She goes twice a week, and seems to be having lots of fun so far.  It's a nice break for me, two hours to do errands without her, or spend time with just Jack.  She did cry and cling to me the first few days I left her, which broke my heart, but I was so tired and really needed the break from her, so I quickly got past feeling guilty.  Last time I took her she didn't cry at all!  I love asking her what she did in school today and hearing her talk about her teacher and her new friends, and always about the snack.

Welcome Baby Jack!!!

Jack Dausett Kelly joined our family at 3:08 am, Sunday, August 31st.  He weighed 7 lbs and was 20 inches long.  We are all doing well and are so excited to meet little Jack!
