Friends, Family and Eight Hour Car Rides.....





Well it's been a busy few weeks around here!  Two weekends ago we got to visit with our friends Casey and Jeni who had a baby just two weeks after Jack was born.  It was a lot of fun to meet Jackson and visit with old friends.  It will be so fun having friends who are going through the same stuff we are.  Hopefully Jack and Jackson will be great friends like Casey and Derek.

Also last week was Jack's two month appointment, I can't believe it's been two months since he was born.  He did very well, weighing in at 11 1/2 pounds and 23 inches long.  He checked out just where he should be, so we were very happy about that.  But then of course he had to get some shots, which he was not happy about, but we made it though and had a little extra sleepy time and cuddle time that afternoon. 

Derek finally finished student teaching last Thursday!  He is looking forward to having the summer off and hanging out with Jack.

Since school was out and I still have a few weeks left of maternity leave, we decided to head out to South Dakota and visit my family.  We got to see Great Great Grandma Koupal, who is now 103 years old, Great Grandpa Gene, Uncle Paul and Aunt Sheila and their boys Parker and Bennett and then a little bit of Uncle Mark. Oh and of course Grandma Mary was there too!  It was fun to see everyone and for all of them to meet Jack.  I was a little worried about how Jack would do in the car for such a long trip but he did so good!  He slept a lot and listened to music.  I couldn't of asked for a better trip with him. It was good training since we will be traveling again this weekend to Eau Claire for a wedding and then onto Mosinee to visit Grandma Julie and Grandpa Jim.

Jack is doing so well, we just love him so much!  He is still smiling a lot!!!  He loves to be in his bouncy chair but he really loves to be held up so he can see what is going on around him.

So I have added a bunch of pictures for the last couple weeks along with the 5 generation pictures we took while in South Dakota.  Have a great week everyone!
