2 Weeks Worth..

The past 2 weeks have been so crazy around here, it started with a tree falling on my Dad..and has ended with me being sick. However we did have some fun! Last Saturday my cousins Matthew and John came up to visit, along with my sister-in-law Jena..also my step-brother and step-sister were up too..so we took all the kiddos to the park for a picnic and fun! Matthew said it was the "most fun ever"..it was fun Jack had a great time too..he's def. going to be an outdoor baby!! Here is some pics from that..



Jack has been doing great eating solid foods..his favorite is carrots and bananas. I tried him on peaches but that didn't settle well with him..here he is eating in his "big" chair with his new bib his Mimi Murphy got him ;)



Jack has also been trying to sit-up..he wants to so bad, especially when Eli is here! He wants to just get up and run around with him I think..



Anything that comes in contact with Jack's hands..goes straight to his mouth! He is doing great at grabbing things and holding on to them though. He just gets bigger everyday! We have alot of fun with our friend Eli..it's hard to capture Eli's picture sometimes b/c he wants to grab the camera..but I do my best haha..Here is some random pics...
Then last but not least...Dad is now able to talk on his own but he sounds really funny b/c he has a trach in his throat to help him breathe. He is eating real food now, and actually stood up with a walker on Thursday. He got moved from the ICU to a real room on Thursday so he wanted to see Jack..it was a great visit..


We are so happy that Dad is doing great! Looking at those pics you wouldn't think he got hit by a tree. But that's my Dad..I'm sure he hurt for like 2 days after this but that's okay! It's worth it! They still aren't sure when he's going to get to go home..but we will keep praying! We have alot of family up here today so hopefully we will get to see some of them!! We will be in to Paducah next weekend!! So see you then!

So glad to see your Dad is doing better. I bet seeing Jack made his day. He's the best medicine your Dad could get. I can't get over how much Matthew has grown. Glad you all had a great time & good weather. Still praying for your Dad's recovery.
