Jack's had a great week at home with Mom and Dad. As you can see by the pictures Jack has been able to get out to see the neighborhood this week. Early in the week the weather cooperated and Jack visited the beautiful lakefront with his parents. The warm breezes and fresh air seemed to comfort Jack.

Special thanks to all who stopped by this week including Grandma Houilihan, Bonnie and Jerry, Paula, and Godfather Ryan and Uncle John. Jack almost witnessed his first no-hitter this week, not in person of course, but the pitcher for the Sox fell a couple of outs short, nonetheless it was exciting. Jack's appetite has continued to grow over the last several days and Mom is doing a great job keeping up.

On Friday we will be back to visit Jack's primary doctor for a routine check-up, we look forward to see Jack get back on the scale and are hopeful he has reached the five-pound mark. When you think about it just over two months ago Jack joined us at 2.2lbs. and now we are closing in on 5lbs, it's very exciting. It's funny that during some of our trips out people see Jack and are surprised how small he is, we really don't see it that way. We have become so accustomed to his size we actually think he is big, that is of course until he tries on some of his clothes and gets lost inside. We like to call him our little gloworm, for those of you that were around in the early eighties you know what we mean.

We look forward to celebrating Mom's first Mother's Day on Sunday, it will be such a special day for Mom to spend with her son after all they have been through together. Jack is very lucky to have such a wonderful loving Mom who is always there to provide him with soft touches, gentle hugs and enormous amounts of time and attention.

Happy Mother's Day to All..................
