Lots and lots of apples

Last Saturday John and I went to Bishop's Orchards with Grandma and Grandpa Bakken...

Jack was great help at pressing cider


There weren't many apples left on the trees, but we still got plenty to make applesauce.

You should enlarge the picture to check out the cool pacifier markings around Jack's mouth!

If you can't tell... Jack's been eating well this week.

As I promised...

Yeah, he's pretty darn cute. I can't be humble about it.

More pictures to come when I recharge my camera battery....

Our little bookworm

Happy Birthday!

John turned 1 month old at 5:26 this morning! So far he's gotten good at smiling, saying "ahh" and playing cards.

Ready for winter

Getting Dressed

Jack's showing off his washerboard abs and toned biceps.

Ready to go play!

3 Week Birthday (It's my party, I can cry if I want to)

"I miss Grandma Mertens!"

Though you can't see it in this picture - John has started to shed real tears.

Getting Cuter...

Here is John at 9 days old - just before his first Dr.'s appointment. He's happy and quiet and hasn't a clue what is coming his way in just a few short minutes...

And here John is with the evil Dr. Shupe. He looks friendly and tame, but those drawers behind him are really filled with torture instruments.

John got his first bath at 10 days. He didn't cry until I took him out!

It's hard work being a baby. Gotta take time to relax with Daddy.

John hasn't figured out how to smile for the camera yet. We're working on that.
