First Relay and Albany Trip

I know, I know....I am a bad blogger. We've still got a few things to finish up in the house, I've been extremely tired lately and it's the beginning of the month, which means all of my paperwork is due, so I've been slacking again on the blog. My sincere apologies for those waiting to see more pictures of Jack.

Last weekend we had quite the crazy weekend. On Friday it was the Plattsburgh State Relay For Life, the first Relay of the season. We of course brought Jack to see Grammy and Gramps and to support the college. Jack had a great time chasing all the soccer balls and hackie sacks that the college kids were kicking around. He also enjoyed just walking around the track.....



The next morning we took off around 9:00 am to head down to Albany. We had to drop Grammy off with Uncle George because they were heading down to Florida to visit with Aunt Missy. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUNT MISSY!!) Grammy and Jack both fell asleep in the car on me. I was driving them and Mark was with Justin in his big truck. Oh yeah, Uncle Justin came up to visit in his "bi ruck" for a few days. Jack really liked having his uncle around and was very close to saying Justin. So anyway, I was pretty bored in the car, but it went by fast.

We got down to Albany, switched Mark and Grammy around, took some pictures of Jack in the "bi ruck" and then headed over to visit with Aunt Donna, Tasha, Dylan and Trystan, Danielle, Ray and baby Taylor.


Jack had a mixed up schedule on Saturday and only slept for about an hour in the morning, so he was full of energy when we got to Aunt Donna's house. He had so much fun hanging out with Dylan and Trystan and threw a fit when it was time to go to bed. By the end of the weekend he was crying for them when they left the room. They were so great with Jack, too. It was a little bit of a break for Mark and I because we had the two of them to entertain Jack.

On Sunday we headed over to Chuck-E-Cheese for a few hours. All Jack wanted to do was play ski-ball and basketball...nothing else. He kept stealing balls from other people and walking away with them. It was the funniest thing, but also very wrong. He barely ate lunch because he was having so much fun running around and just taking everything in. Needless to say, he slept very well on the way home.

He's got his father's form...ha ha

We are such cheaters....We had a great weekend catching up with Aunt Donna and Tasha, thanks for making us feel at home and letting us relax. We always have such a wonderful time with your family.

This week has been a little bit on the quiet side, but I have just been dragging lately. Hopefully I'll find some energy to get through this next week....it's gonna be another busy one. Meeting with the man who is building our house, Relay for Life benefit dinner, Easter Egg hunt on Saturday and then Easter. Throw in some shopping, cooking, cleaning and packing in there and you've got another crazy week. Wish us luck!
