                              Jack's blessing day, this is the best family photo we could get
                                                         first little smile on camera
                                          not too happy, but looking cute all dressed up
                                       the kids dressed in some cute Halloween clothes

Just to be fair, I thought I should add some pictures of Jack too!  

This photo was suppose to be with the last post, but I couldn't get it to download for some reason.  

Little Miss Princess

Emma has definitely entered the Princess phase.  She is obsessed with Ariel, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and anything to do with princesses.  She would like to live in a princess dress.  She likes to eat, sleep and play in them.  I love it, I think it is so cute seeing her all dressed up, although she is not as sweet and angelic as she looks.  Actually, she's kind of a monster lately... so it's a good thing she's cute!  I've always wanted to take her to Disneyland while she is little, now I can't wait. She would have so much fun meeting the princesses.  Hopefully she is still in the Princess phase by the time we can actually afford to go to Disneyland!  In the meantime, the Cinderella and Little Mermaid dvd's are helping to keep me sane.    

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.  

First Day of Preschool

                                                                  Ready for school

                                                                     her new backpack

                                                                            at school

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!
