Happy Birthday to Jack!

It's been a few weeks since we did my last update and we have had a few things going on.  So we got our first taste of a sick baby.  Jack came home from day-care with pink eye in both eyes and two ear infections.  He was a pretty good trooper until it came to his medicine, which he hated taking.  Luckily we were still able to go out and visit Uncle John and Uncle Pete in Denver.  Our trip went great!  Jack was such a great traveler, which made things a lot easier for everyone.  We stayed with my brothers for the week.  We did get to ski.  It was beautiful and the powder was awesome.  Derek actually went snowboarding instead of skiing this year and I think he really liked it.  It took some getting used to, but he didn't come home with any broken bones.  We decided to stop in Mitchell to visit my Grandpa Gene for a day on the way home.  We actually got to see a few other family members while we were there for our short visit.  It's always good to see everyone.

We made it to about Tuesday when Jack really wasn't feeling well again so I took him into the clinic and they found that one of his ear infections hadn't cleared up.  They put him on another round of meds, hopefully this will be just what he needs to kick feeling crummy.    He did seem to perk up when Grandpa and Grandma Ferigan rolled into town on Friday night.  He did really well on Saturday too.  We had so much fun at his little birthday party with a few friends and family.  Here are some pictures from the birthday weekend!!

enjoying his cake.  Derek thought the messy look was a good one.


That pretty much wraps up our last few weeks.  Until next time!!
