Happy 1st Father's Day (tomorrow)!
So a lot happened this week -
1st thing was that Jack rolled over on Thursday night!!! And we missed it...then he rolled over again on Friday morning and we missed it....we were starting to think that he was purposely rolling over when we left the room! But we finally saw it happen a few times today. It's really funny because he only goes from his back to his front. When he realizes that he's on his belly he starts to get mad and yell (really loud).
2nd big thing was Jack's first trip to the swimming pool :) We went in the evening so it wasn't so hot and the sun was going down. Jack wasn't that amused. He likes the warm bath water much more. He lasted a whole 5 minutes then fell asleep in my arms therefore I sat in a lawn chair and watched Terry swim laps. He's training for a triathlon.
3rd thing was Jack found his feet and boy does he love to play with them! He's trying so hard to put them in his mouth it's hysterical.
Tomorrow is Terry's 1st Father's Day. I can honestly say I married my best friend and each day with him is a gift. I couldn't have asked for a better husband or dreamed of a better father for Jack. I love you Ter!

Not so sure about this water mom...it's a little cold
Whew! That swim really wore me out.
I love playing with my feet!
If I could pull it up higher...I could put it in my mouth
Aren't I just the cutest??!!

BIG week at work!
It's official - the St. Louis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure held the largest Race in the history of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure series!!! We had over 70,802 participants in downtown St. Louis yesterday morning and as of today have raised over $3.4 million for the fight against breast cancer. I can't put into words how breathtaking and beautiful it is to see women, men and children all together for the same cause because they've been touched in some way by this awful disease. I love my job and the fact that I raise funds so one day breast cancer will become something of the past. Thank you to everyone who supported my own fundraising efforts this year.
On to the reason you read this blog...Jack had a good week too. I was very busy with events leading up to the Race so we ate out a lot and Jack was a doll at every restaurant (usually sleeping through the meals). He also got to spend the night with Grandpa and Nana Tonsing on Friday night since I was downtown. Then last night, my parents called and asked if we wanted to meet for dinner. We asked if they knew we were 3 hours apart or if they were crazy? But apparently they missed their grandson so much that they drove all the way to St. Louis to have dinner and spend the night. My dad was convinced that Jack had forgotten him because there hasn't been any pictures of the two of them since Jack was itty bitty on the blog :( Jack didn't forget - he loves his Papa!! My brother Andrew and Terry got to play stick ball this morning while Ben, my dad and I swam in the lake. Jack hung out with Grandma Gordon in the cool air conditioning. Then it was off to Union for a Tonsing family get together. Long story short, it's been a LONG weekend!
Enjoy the pictures:

This past week...
On Memorial day, Terry, Jason and I took Jeffrey and Jack to the zoo. We met at 8:30 in the morning to beat the heat...never in my pre-mom days would I ever have gone or even thought about going to the zoo that early in the morning. Funny how times have changed! It was Jack's first trip to the zoo and he slept through the majority of our visit. But he did wake up to ride on the train and he really enjoyed the breeze! Jeffrey on the other hand had a great time and we had a lot of fun riding the carousel. He picked a jaguar to ride on even though the thought it was a really cool tiger. He kept saying "We're going so fast...do you think my daddy and uncle Terry can even see me??" It was adorable because if you've been on a carousel you know they go like 1 mile a minute :)
Jeffrey and I enjoying a carousal ride!
I love my new stroller!
