1st of 3 Summer Weddings

As mentioned in a previous post, we have three weddings in a row this summer. The first one was this past Saturday. My cousin, Cody and his fiance(now wife), Ariel got married on the Seawall in Galveston. Here are some pictures from their sunrise ceremony.

CONGRATS CODY and ARIEL!!

Two more weddings to go! Heading to Midland next weekend for Jim's (John's brother) wedding.

Welcome home Woodrow

This past weekend has been very eventful. It started out with adding another member to the Suchecki family. :)

Meet Woodrow!! (John's new dog!)

I LOVE puppies!

SO stinkin cute!

Such a ham!

Woodrow introduces himself to Jack!

Busy Weekend

This weekend has been SUPER busy! Busy... but fun of course! Jack got to meet many family members he had not met before. This weekend has also been a time of accomplishments and acknowledgments.

Beginning on Friday, my sister, Holly Jo graduated from Texas A&M. We originally were not going to make it to the graduation at all. However, since Jack was 9 days early, I was able to go. Daddy and Jack stayed home and had a boys day together. Holly did not think that I was coming at all and I honestly was not sure I could go without Jack. (TRUST ME... it was hard, but worth surprising my sister). I did not let Holly know until the middle of her graduation that I had come. I sent her a picture of me, Summer (one of her besties) and her boo, Tyler in the stands. Of course, her reply was "Punk!" :) I am an idiot though, I forgot my camera, so I did not take any pictures of her ceremony. I plan on stealing the pictures she took on her camera when she finally posts them on Facebook.

After the graduation, we had a celebration for her here in Houston at our house. My Daddy and his family, my Aunt Sara and her three kiddos with their significant others, Tyler, Summer, and John's parents all came to celebrate Holly's graduation. During this time, my Daddy got to meet Jack for the first time. :)

Saturday was another big day. First off, it was John's birthday! :) For his birthday he wanted to go and see Angels and Demons. (We thought it was pretty good by the way.) So, Jeannie (John's mom) came over to watch Jack, so we could go to the matinee showing. Daddy and his family came back over as well to spend some time with Jack.

My cheesing hubsters opening up his birthday presents. :)

No... John did not turn 26. We didn't have any other candles.


Grandaddy and Jack again.

Three generations. (Hoping to take a 4 generation picture next week when Daddy's parents come down from Kansas.)

Secondly, Saturday was important because it was my graduation day. While I did not travel to Nacogdoches to walk (I would have LOVED to, but not able to), I officially have a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. It has been a long two years, but it was all worth it.

Go Lumberjacks!

Now for Sunday, John's parents are coming back over to celebrate John's birthday again. They are bringing us lunch and Jeannie's chocolate cake for John. We've had a lot of sweets this weekend. :)

Now the next 3 weekends are going to be just as busy with weddings in Galveston, Midland, and Dallas! :)

3 weeks old already?!?!?

What Jack does best these days (not necessarily at night) ...


Jack LOVES sleeping with his Daddy!! He smiles in his sleep. He's dreaming about puppies!!

Jack Update

Here are a few pictures to update you guys on what Jack's been doing. :)

He's gone for his first walk. He was asleep before we left our driveway.

Jack met Aunt Kuohui and Uncle Jim.

Jack met new friends. Hilary and Emily.
Dave

Jack isn't a huge fan of tummy time... but seriously he's got some muscles already. Pretend like I'm not in the picture.

Jack also had his 2 week dr. appt. It was quite sad when they had to give him the Hep. B shot. :( We've never heard that cry/scream before. They also did the 2nd newborn screen. As far as his measurements are concerned....
Weight: 7lbs 12 oz 50% (YAY!! He gained all his weight back he lost in the hospital PLUS some!)
Length: 20 1/2 inches long 75% (he's already grown a 1/4 of an inch in 2 weeks)
Head Circumference: 36.5 cm 55%

Lastly... Jack had his first photoshoot by Emily Baker. She is soooo talented. We are extremely thankful for her taking the time to come and take pictures of Jack. The following pictures are two she took and for our Ozark friends and family out there. :)

Is Jack an Osage or a Caddo?

All smiles

Here's our man smiling!! I have been trying to catch his smile, but I hadn't been fast enough until yesterday. He is SUCH a blessing to us!

Jack's 1st Bath

So... I really am going to try and update you guys as much as possible. However, I am not doing such a great job so far. I guess once we get into a more set routine/schedule, I will have more opportunities to blog.

As for now... I have pictures from Jack's 1st bath. Overall, he does not mind the baths. You can tell he LOVES the warm water.

Daddy getting started.

Gotta clean his hair and back.

He is so relaxed with you support him like this.

Time to get dry and warm.

MUCH BETTER!!
