JACK'S BACK
Hello,

We're very thankful and appreciative that you're still checking in on Jack. Young Jack is keeping us so busy we've had very little time to sit down and tell you about his great progress. We've been to the doctor twice since our last update and we're excited to tell you that Jack is almost 6 and 1/2 pounds! The doctor was very positive about Jack's continued growth and good health.

Over the last several weeks Jack has been busy visiting many of his relatives throughout the city and suburbs. He really likes taking rides in the "H" mobile (Moms Car). As soon as he gets strapped in and the car starts he is well on his way to dreamland.

Jack's Top Ten list for May:

1. Of course, anywhere Mom takes him.
2. Walks along the lakefront with Mom and Dad
3. Spending time with Grandma Houlihan
4. Visits to Grandma Smith and Aunt Gert
5. Nick and Vito's Pizza (Just Kidding), but soon.
6. Breakfast at Lou Mitchell's after a sucessful doctor's visit.
7. Long Beach.
8. Walks along Lake Shore Drive, and not the busy one
in the city.
9. Aunt Nora, enough said!!!
10. Being surrounded by all his family and friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We can't tell you how wonderful this last month has been watching Jack grow and develop. We watch and talk to him for hours on end. His personality is developing and he has funny facial expressions. We fully appreciate how truly precious this time is for our family and our doing our best to not to take any of it for granted.

Now that we are somewhat settled and establishing our routine we are looking for a nanny to care for Jack when Mom goes back to work. If you know of anyone or have any leads please contact us. We want you all to know how much we appreciate all the calls, emails and letters of encouragement. Give us a call or stop by and see Jack, he really enjoys visitors.
Take Care,
JMJ
