East Coast Lovin'

This past weekend Derek, Jack and myself went back East to visit family.  Our nephew, Sean, is a senior this year and a star football player so we just had to go see one of his games. It was Jack's first football game;  he got antsy during the last quarter, but was so stoked to go play on the field after it was over.  





We also hadn't been to New York in a while (I say a while but it's probably only been a year or two) so we were able to enjoy this time of year in the city.  Friday we took Jack for his first NYC experience- filled with the Subway, Central Park, Cafe Habana, Soho, Rockefeller Plaza, and had a Lily VanDerwoodsen sighting (she is just as gorgeous in real life w/o an ounce of make up on). 




*This guy was playing golf across the street with empty milk cartons- so classic!

They had two pets: Shadow the dog and Woody the cat.  Jack loved having some furry friends to harass (he especially loved pulling the cats tail!)



Jack also discovered this zylophone they had buried in a closet....I think we might have a musician on our hands. 


Our sister-in-law Chris is an amazing photographer and took some great photos of Jack for his (nearly) one year portraits.  I can't wait to get a couple of them in frames!  Here is a sneak peak of the shots: (not cropped or touched- just the raw image).  Thanks for such a fun weekend!

Britt, I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures Chris took of Jack! She is such a great photographer! And it doesn't hurt that Jack is so cute! I'm glad the hat worked out, he looks precious! Also, where did you end up finding a coat, did you buy one?

You have the cutest little boy!! I'm jealous you got to back east! I can't wait to go in Dec, although mine will be for work and not for play.
