Faux-Hawk

Jack woke up this morning with a full on Faux-hawk.





It looked so neat I took him to music class and out for errands with it. People stopped to ask how I got his hair to stay that way. Normally, Jack can't stand his hair up. If we try to style it he says, "Put it down. I want my hair down." So we never mentioned his hair. We just enjoyed his funkiness. By nap time it was gone.

Easter



On Saturday night we died Easter Eggs. Jack loved dipping the egg into the cups and pulling them out to see what color they were. We made eggs for mommy, daddy, and Jack. Grandma was visiting us for Easter so Jack insisted we make her an egg too.



On Sunday morning we had a small Easter egg hunt in our living room.





After the egg hunt we got dress and went to chruch. What a fun and Special Easter!

Bunny Hop

On Saturday we went to the Seattle Zoo for the annual "Bunny Hop."



The Zoo had Easter egg hunts, crafts & booths with free goodies. Jack began the day hunting eggs in the 3-and-under group. The eggs were plentiful. He filled his basket to the brim!





Then we went to the craft booths and made a bunny puppet.



Later we met up with some friends and Jack and Haley went on the "big kid" Easter egg hunt. Jack only got 3 eggs at the "big kids" hunt (2 of which Haley gave him). He was in good spirits though over the free chapstick! What a fun day!

Whistler, BC



Marty’s employer McKinsey hosted a weekend in Whistler, BC Jack and Sarah planned to skip the trip. Jack seemed too little to ski and Sarah is pregnant and probably shouldn’t be skiing. At the last minute we figured, why not? Let’s take our 2 year old son on a 6 hour bus trip with 45 other employees and see how it goes…



Jack was great on the bus trip. He slept a bit, read books, Played with toy cars, listened to music, and watched the movie “Cars” that played on the bus TV system. Once we got to Whistler, Jack loved wearing his new snow suite & boots, and he was thrilled when we rented him skis.



Jack couldn’t really stand up on the skis with out adult help, but he loved it when we had him between our legs and he was “skiing.” He only spent about 20 minutes on the skis, but he had a good experience and we loved seeing him in the tiny skis!



On Sunday Marty and Jack went tubing. Sarah was terrified when she saw Jack coming down the mountain alone! Even though Sarah took video, what she really wanted to do was run up the mountain and “rescue” Jack. Jack absolutely loved it!



Just tall enough to go. Really? The hat and the boots made him taller. I don’t think Jack is quite 36 inches tall yet.
