Well everyone, I’ve made it another week. That makes four big ones! It was a milestone week for me -mommy and daddy took me on my first road trip - yeah! We traveled to Durand to stay with Grandma & Grandpa Churness. Mommy had a fun time showing me where she grew up, as she calls it “the big bubbling metropolis of Durand”. My mommy can be pretty goofy sometimes. I was able to spend lots of quality time with Grandpa & Grandma, and Uncle Loren & Auntie Corinne. We had fun taking walks and playing in their big yard, and us men hung out and watched the Brewers of course. We also traveled to Menomonie so my Great Grandma Ruth could meet me. I think she enjoyed holding me quite a bit!
I had so many new faces to look at this week, my Great Uncles & Great Aunties, and my mommy’s cousins came to meet me. Then when we got home, my Great Grandma & Grandpa Anderson also came to meet me! Whew, it was a whirlwind weekend with so many new faces for me to stare at.
Thanks to Grandma Mott & Auntie Corinne for taking care of me at night so mommy and daddy could get two full night’s sleep!!! They’ve been taking such good care of me; they got some much deserved rest. Thanks to everyone for all the nice gifts that have been rolling in – mommy & daddy say I’m one spoiled little boy! I’m glad I got to meet more of my family this week – it was nice to meet you everyone - aren’t I a polite little boy already :)
Until next time, Baby Jack

A Week of Firsts
Well everyone, it’s been another successful week for me, mommy & daddy, and for those of you counting that makes me three weeks old today! It's been a fun week filled of many firsts for me. I attended my first wedding, which I was a good little boy for. I slept through most of it, but I do remember being very popular since I was the youngest guest in attendance. Unfortunately for me there weren’t any women there my age to hit on, but at least I still got a lot of attention from other wedding guests. I really am a little charmer, just like daddy says!
I also attended my first baseball game this week. Again, I slept through most of this, but I did catch some key plays in the seventh inning. Daddy wanted to give me my first brat & beer at the game, but mommy put her foot down and said we’ll have to wait until next summer for that. I guess I had enough firsts for one week anyway.
The most important first I had this week, however, was celebrating my daddy’s first Father’s Day! We had a nice relaxing day at home, watched lot's of sports, took a walk together and I gave daddy his first ever Father’s day gift. I am sooooooooooo lucky to have the best daddy in the whole wide world. He is always telling me how much he loves me and how much he misses me while he’s at work. He's constantly worrying about mommy & me, so I know how much he cares about us. Everyone says my daddy is one proud papa, and I can tell he is too. Mommy & I are so lucky to have him!
Happy father’s day to you Grandpa Churness, Grandpa Vogel & Grandpa Mott. I love you and miss you!
Until next week………

Two Weeks Down in the Records
Hello everyone, I have successfully made it two weeks (so have mommy and daddy) and I’m doing great! The weather hasn’t been the greatest (my little heart goes out to all the people affected by the flooding down south) last week so mommy and I haven’t been able to take as many walks as I would have liked, but it has allowed me to follow the Brewers play by play with daddy. Boy, the Brewers are a frustrating team to watch! Daddy and I believe Ned Yost is the worse manager in baseball and could cost them a pennant. Mommy gets mad at us when we start yelling at the TV, so for everyone’s sake I hope they fire Yost soon and get more consistent.
My big excitement for the week was that I had my first play date with my buddy Cullen. We didn’t do a whole lot except for a lot of farting and burping, but we have started to discuss the future trouble we are going to get into. Mommy and Lisa thought we were just lying down and napping, but we are one step ahead of our mommy’s!
My Grandma and Grandpa Vogel and Auntie Heather came here to visit me and it was nice to finally meet them. Grandpa was a little rusty at holding a little person like me so I cried when he initially held me but he eventually got better over the weekend and I was able to sleep in his arms. We weren’t able to do much due to the rain, however, Daddy and Grandpa went golfing on Saturday morning and they wanted to take me, but Mommy wouldn’t let me so I was a little bummed. It started pouring rain on hole number 6 though, so it was good I wasn’t with them. I guess Mommy knows best. Mommy says she is just looking out for me and I know she loves me a lot since when I lost my umbilical cord this week she got very emotional and was equally sad when she left me for the first time to run to the store. She is a great Mommy and is doing a wonderful job taking care of me!
Since my Mommy and Daddy have been so good to me, I decided to start sleeping at 6+ hours at a time at night. This has made them very happy, especially Daddy, since he gets a little cranky if he has to go to work tired. He is happy to no longer have to sleep on the bathroom floor (bath tub running) with me. Despite me being such an Angel, my Grandma Churness has come and stayed with us all week to help around the house. Daddy is trying to get her to quit her teaching job to be our Nanny but Daddy is unwilling to pay her enough. My Daddy can be a little tight with money, so I don’t know if they will come to terms :(
It has been a great two weeks, and thanks again for all the gifts and the being such great friends to me and my Mommy and Daddy. I’m pretty excited about this weekend since I will be going to my first Loggers game and my first Wedding. I think I’m going to be pretty exhausted by Sunday! I will report next week on how it goes and if I will be allowed to go to other events like this in the future :)
Love, Baby Jack

Happy 1 Week Birthday!
Hi everyone, I'm back and now a whole week old. I've been having a great time at home with mommy and daddy. I've mastered all kinds of new tricks this week, burping, farting, filling my diaper, and nursing to name a few. I had my first trip to the Doctor and to Target. Mommy was happy I liked my trip to Target because she told me we'd be making many more outings there. Grandma Churness came again to visit me, and to help mommy and daddy. She was a big help, she brought us lot's of nummy food and washed all my dirty clothes. Mommy says it's amazing how someone as little as me can create so much laundry. Mommy & daddy gave me my first bath at home, and daddy said I was a good little boy for the whole thing. I already know how to work my parents.
I also got to meet Grandma & Grandpa Mott for the first time. They had a fun time meeting me and spending quality time with me over the weekend. I went on my first stroller ride with mommy and both my Grandma's, it was a lot of fun & with my hot rod stroller I was attracting the babes like crazy! Grandma Mott was very sad when they had to leave and go back to Manitowoc - I can't say I blame her because I am quite the little charmer :)
Sadly, my daddy had to return to work this week. He says someone needs to "bring home the bacon." My daddy sure does have some funny sayings. He still sneaks home at lunch to see me and mommy though :) In celebration of my one week birthday yesterday, I had my first trip to Daddy's bank. Daddy and I read the Wallstreet Jounal and he showed me how to use a calculator. Daddy says I'm quite advanced for my age. Then Auntie Corinne came to visit me and to help mommy since daddy is busy "bringing home the bacon." We had another fun trip to Target, where I was again on my best behavior.
All in all it's been a good first week for me and my mommy and daddy. We're one little happy family as mommy says. Thanks to everyone who has come to meet me and brought me all the cool gifts, I see what my mommy and daddy were talking about when they were telling me what great friends & family we have. I can't wait for the adventures in store for me in my second week of life!
P.S. don't worry, I will get on my mommy to post my first week slideshow on here very soon!!!
