Finally, a picture of Jack!
This is the birthday boy blowing out his candles and he got got ‘em all on the first try. His momma has been practicing him up. How cute is this kid?
Brooke and I were so happy that all of our family was able to come in town. With all of his friends and their parents I guess around forty people came to celebrate the big Two. We rented out The Island Playground in Hilton Head Island and it was so awesome to go somewhere, order out the food, make a mess and just go home. We had his first birthday at the house last year and I tell you what, Brooke and I fell into bed that night.
Thanks so much for the well wishes...I feel so blessed to have a healthy little guy and love to share all the good times with y’all.
I can tell you this blog will be short, he is running around my legs as I type hollering"Elmo!", we play computer games at SesameStreet.com and when he sees the computer....watch out!
We filmed our second Christmas special of the year at momma’s house yesterday....Merry Christmas....again. Our family usually averages about three a year. We are also shooting photos for the Deen Family cookbook which will be out next year.
Jack is going bananas....
