Hello everyone!
Today when my cousin Taylor came to visit me she took lots of pictures of me. Unfortunately, when she downloaded them to her computer they all got deleted. However, when Grandma Houlihan came to visit she took pictures too. Here they are!



Me, Mom and Dad. Our first family photo!



Mom holding me for the first time!



Me and my favorite nurse Carol, she takes very good care of me.


Mom and Dad right after I was born!

Thank you everyone again for all of your prayers, I look forward to meeting all of you soon!

Love,

Jack, Mom and Dad

Hey Jack!

I was so happy to meet you today and I'm sorry my pictures didn't work. I will be by again some time soon to see you again. Keep up the good work little guy!

These pictures are entirely precious! If you enlarge the picture with you and Carol, the nurse, it appears as if you are smiling! I am in love with your little fingers and toes. I'll be seeing you on Saturday, and I hope all continues to be well.

Remember that big things sometimes come in small packages!

Love, your cousin,

Julia

Welcome to the world Jack Loftus Smith! We should have known that you would make your arrival in time for St. Paddy's Day and the White Sox opener.
Rest assured that there will be many toasts in your honor in during the upcoming "holiday." You, your mom and dad are in our thoughts and prayers.

Jack, Maureen and the Kelly Kids

Dear Baby Jack:

Here is your first overseas message - you are already going global!!

This comes straight from the Green Zone in Iraq from Family Friend Phil O'Connor (who despite having a PhD - just like General Petraeus!! - does not know how to open a Google account to post messages). Here 'tis:

"Jack -
This is Phil from Baghdad and I am Grandpa Dan's friend. From all reports you are one tough, brave little Mick. When I come home in April and you are even bigger and stronger, I will bring you a battle patch that your Grandma can sew on your blanket (since I do not think that Mommy is big into sewing). Baghdad Phil"

Congrats and Welcome Baby Jack!
You are so lucky to have such awesome parents and blessed with wonderful family. Stay rested and strong. Good Luck on staying dry, while milk is being delivered.
Love,
liz and the gorman men

Jim & Margaret,
Jack is a beautiful boy. The pictures are great. He looks awesome with the shamrock on his chest. I see ND football in his future. All of the Mehalek families are rooting for Jack(& the White Sox). Love, Jen McClorey(Mehalek)
