jack's newborn photo session

When Jack was 6 days old, the very talented photographer (and our friend) Stephanie Cotta- shot his newborn pictures. They are amazing- beautiful and incredible shots of Jack that we will treasure forever. Below are some of the images from the session.  Check out her website if you're in need of a photographer- we are so grateful for her awesome work! Stephanie Cotta Photography

** do you see the wet spot on Courtney's shorts in this pic?  jack managed to pee on courtney twice and poop once on him during the photo shoot :)

Jack's first trip to Chicago

We headed to Chicago the weekend of August 12-14th for Larry and Lisa's wedding. It was a beautiful celebration that we were excited to be a part of.  Friday evening we celebrated with them at a bar called English- jack's first trip to a bar - it wasn't a late night as the music started picking up - we'll hold off a few years til his first dance party:)  Saturday we spent the morning with Meghan.  Courtney was in the wedding and off celebrating with the bridal party. Jack went with Shannon to the wedding ceremony which was a really neat celebration. During the reception Meghan was so sweet and kept Jack so Shannon and Ck could enjoy the evening with Larry and Lisa and friends. Uncle Shawn and Aunt Kelly were in town for the wedding too so we got to spend some quality time with them.  The reception was so much fun!  Sunday morning - a big group of Shannon and Courtney's friends came to the city to have brunch and meet Jack. It was such a fun day and we were grateful to all of them for making the trip and spending part of their weekend with us.
