After the shower, Jonny returned home to Mississippi, but I stayed. Keri and the girls came up on Tuesday, and later on Wednesday, Jonathan and Andrew arrived! We celebrated Fall Break in our usual fashion---on the FARM!
Sara Kate just cannot get enough of baby Jack!!
Daddy let the girls ride in the combine with him while he picked his soybeans!!
The girls decided to milk a cow this year! They were very brave! :)
Jack got lots of face-to-face talk time with Grandma!! He loves her voice!
Three sweet farm girlies!!
Exploring a tobacco barn late in the evening.
Fun board games....This one is called Mother's Helper!! We play it every time the girls come!

The weather was beautiful!! We even got to watch mom hang out her clothes!! Just like my childhood days outside!!

What a fun trip to Kentucky!! Can't wait till we all come back next year!! :)
We took these really cute pictures of Jack right after he got out of his bath! He was in such a great mood!! We were so excited to capture these moments....because this is who Jack really is! Such a smiley, happy, good-natured baby!
Couldn't you just eat him up!!??
"Whoa!! Look at me hold these rattles!! I'm pretty cool...and coordinated! I'm not sure what Mommy wants me to do with them. They are too big for my mouth...... I'll just wave them around like crazy! Yeah! That seems to really make her happy! She even ran to get the camera!! Wow! Maybe I will try a trick with them...!"
Jack got to snuggle up with lots of sweet Westminster folks at the VERY COLD Fall Fest!! Here he is snuggling up with one of his very favorite Westminster friend, Debbie Frazier! (She is one of Mommy's favorite people too!!) Debbie left her mark on Jack...claiming him as her own! He wore it proudly!!
We were excited to stain the porch this weekend.....It went pretty fast. Jonny and I both cut in all the trim, and then he rolled the porches. We went with a solid gray stain from Sherwin Williams. We were very satisfied with how it turned out!!
We were having fun on the rug until all of a sudden.....Jack got hungry fast!! So mommy got up to make a bottle...but couldn't resist this photo!! :)
I'm a big boy!! I'm three months old...and look how good I can hold my head up! 
What a cuddle bug!! 
Look at our little JACK-o-lantern!! :) He was SOOO cute in his little Halloween costume from Aunt Karen!! 
We decided to get out one of Jack's new Baby Einstein Videos that he got as a shower gift....just to see if he was at all interested. To our surprise, he watched the whole video! He kicked and squealed, and smiled throughout the movie! Now we try to watch it once or twice a week! He stays very alert and happy while watching all of those swirling, twirling, dancing objects..and even Mommy enjoys the music!!
