What a day!!

Today we celebrated Jack's first birthday and what a day we had!  We began the day early, as usual, and then headed to Newnan to have Jack's one-year photos taken at Bob Shapiro's studio.  Mr Bob does wonderful work and Jack was a wonderful subject.  He flirted, he smiled, and he even waved "bye" when we left.  Such a cutie!  I'll post the link when those pics are posted.

After the photo shoot, we headed to Chick-fil-a for Jack's first chicken nugget.  This was quite the event and Jack was initiated into the long running "fried chicken afficionado" class that is our family.  He was skeptical at first, but soon realized the genius that is the chicken nugget.  Soon he was reaching for them faster than I could cut them up...

If you listen really closely, you can hear him saying "OOOOOHHH!!"

Below you can see Jack cutting his eyes to the side, but to look at what, you wonder? 


Well.....  It would appear that Jack has an admirer...

This cutie-patootie refused to sit with her own family, choosing instead to stand just away from our table, and smiling like a loon at Jack.  Every so often she'd come up to his high chair and smile sweetly, occasionally touching his foot or hand.  It would appear that Jack is going to be very popular with the ladies.  At least crazy little ones at the Chick-fil-a!

After lunch, we went to work to visit with our accountant friends and give them a brief respite from tax season.  Then we had an afternoon nap, and then a Skype date with Gramma and Granpa Laton.  Jack was given the package and card from them that came in the mail, and upon opening them, threw the gifts to the side and loved on the envelope and box.  So predictable, Baby Jack!

Finally, we wrapped the best day ever with dinner at Church.  Uncle Amos wasn't there, as he was attending the Braves game, but Jack and Aunt Marian had quite the dinner date!


Then we went outside for the Easter Egg hunt, and Jack also went on the slide.  Such a daredevil!




So ends another wonderful day with my little gift from God.  Jack sleeps upstairs and I'm wrapping up a few things downstairs, before turning in myself.  Tomorrow we begin again, to live, love and enjoy life, together.  What a wonderful boy, what a wonderful life...

Love
Maggie and Jack
