Jack Visits Harry Elephante!!

If I have not mentioned it already, Jack got an elephant for his 1st birthday!! Well, really Grandma JoAnn and GPW "adopted" an elephant in Jack's name at the local zoo, Niabi Zoo. Naturally Jack and I had to take a trip to visit his newest "pet."


With fall (and sadly winter) right around the corner here in Iowa we took full advantage of a 70 degree day and took a trip to see Harry Elephante this week! Jack and I tagged along with our friends (old and young) Courtney, Sophia and baby Cole to see all the animals at the Niabi Zoo. We had a great day enjoying the beautiful weather and wonderful animals.

Jack is 1 Year Old!

Our little guy turned one on October 26th!! It's hard to believe that we are already upon the 1 year old stage, but he is turning into such a little boy these days. No more baby in our house :( And while Momma isn't too overjoyed at the lack of baby in Jack these days, I am enjoying seeing him learn and explore more everyday.We celebrated the 1st Birthday with the Grandparents: Gran-Gran and Pap came up from Arkansas and Grandma and GPW came out to visit from New Jersey. It was such a fun weekend!!
A week later we were able to have a little trick-or-treat fun too!! It was the first Halloween for Jack where we actually celebrated. Seeing that Jack was only a few days old last year he was our little Jack-O-Lantern, but there was no trick-or-treating for him. This year our Baby Hulk took a stroll in the wagon and rang a few doorbells. I'm hoping next year he enjoys it even more!!
Now that I'm back to blogging I hope you all keep checking back. Jack grows and learns more each and every day so I'll have a lot to keep you posted on.

Love and Hugs to all!
