After meeting his Great Grandparents and his Great Great Grandmother, we headed over to see Jack's Grandaddy(my Daddy) and Nana(Daddy's wife). I forgot to bring my camera inside. :( But they took some pictures. Shanna... you'll have to email me the pictures from your camera.

The Chambers/Bruner Wedding

Last Wednesday, Jack and I (along with my Mother-in-law) drove to Dallas for one of my best friend's wedding. The wedding was not until Friday, but we took some time to get Jack settled into another hotel room and spent some time with Paige before things got even busier for her with the wedding. Here are some pictures from the big day!!


Final touches


Paige's dress was awesome! She designed it herself!!

Locks of Love

Something I am passionate about is helping others. One way that I enjoy helping other people is by donating my hair. Last Tuesday, I went in and donated 10 inches of my hair to the Locks of Love Foundation. The donated hair provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada under age 18 suffering from long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis. If you are interested in donating your hair check out the Locks of Love website.

Here are some guidelines to follow when donating your hair.
HOW TO DONATE

• 10 inches measured tip to tip is the minimum length needed for a hairpiece.
• Hair must be in a ponytail or braid before it is cut.
• Hair must be clean and completely dry before it is mailed in.
• Place the ponytail or braid inside of a plastic bag, and then inside of a padded envelope.

The Newest Suchecki

Jack is no longer the newest member of the Suchecki family. On May 30, Jim (John's brother) married Kuohui Lian. She is now the newest Suchecki family member! I am so excited to welcome Kuohui into the family. I have ANOTHER sister!! WOOHOO!!

What we do best these days...

One thing we can't get enough of is SLEEP!! But when we find the time, we sure do it well! :)







Yes... John and I take pictures of each other when we are asleep. John did it first, so I had to get him back.

Several Posts Below

Make sure to scroll down below for more posts! This has been a very busy but fun weekend!! :)

This last post is dedicated to Jack! He is now 1 month old. I cannot believe it has already been a month! That's just CRAZY to me!! I really wish time would slow down. I am trying to soak up every moment and take advantage of the time I have with Jack and John.

Within the first month:

• Jack is starting to put on some weight. He is definitely filling out! I LOVE IT!!
• He also looks a lot longer to me already. :(
  
• Jack loves to suck on his fingers and his paci (actually anything that comes close to his mouth)
  
• He loves to sleep on his Momma and Daddy
• Jack loves being outside. He immediately relaxes once you take him outside.
• Jack is pretty good at taking his naps during the day.
• He doesn't like to be put down at night.
  
• Jack is starting to track objects/faces with his eyes
• He turns in the direction of his Momma's or Daddy's voices
• Jack HATES tummy time (Mom's out there... any advice!?!?!?!?)
• When holding Jack, he is NEVER still. Even when he sleeps he is constantly wiggling around.

Oh I am sure I am forgetting things, but these are the things that come to mind right off the bat. For now, I will leave you with some pictures of Jack.

Jack with his sock monkey from Paige. My plan is to take a picture of Jack and his monkey each month to see the difference in his growth.


Check out those cheeks!!



Jack just checking things out!


Happy family! :) Jack wiggling around like normal.

The Best Part

While this weekend has been filled with lots of good stuff...

• a puppy (which if you really know me, then you know that I am obsessed with dogs especially puppies; lab puppies in particular).
• my cousin getting married in Galveston.
• John having 5 days off in a row (LOVE THIS!!).

The best part of this weekend has been getting to see my grandparents(who live in Kansas--seems like FOOOOOREVEEEERR away) and watching Jack meet his GREAT Grandparents for the first time.

Pops and Jack meet for the first time.

Grandma Dixie and Jack meeting for the first time. They literally just walked in the door.

Grandma Dixie could put Jack to sleep in no time. I need to learn her tricks. Rather, she just need to come and visit him more often. :P

Jack just hanging out with Pops.

Saying goodbye is NEVER easy. We love Pops and Grandma Dixie!! We hope to see them again VERY soon!
