Welcome to the World Baby Jack :)

Well, we have been home from the hospital for 1 week, so I thought I better get on the ball and introduce our little man.....

Jack Christopher weighed in at a whopping 10lbs, 7oz!!! YIKES! He is absolutely beautiful (and I'm not the least bit biased!) and believe it or not gets cuter and cuter every day. I'm sure we'll be posting many pictures of him in the days/weeks to come, but for now here are some pictures from his very first days, still in the hospital.

Meet Jack:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALLORY AND JASON!!!!!!!

Today is our baby girl's birthday and my sweetie-pie's birthday - they're birthday buddies :)

Our Mallory Jane turns 2 today - Mallory is certainly one-of-a kind! She is passionate, silly, very funny and has a mind of her own! I've said since she was a baby that she is a lover and a fighter - she's either beating you up or loving you with the greatest hugs and kisses ever :) She makes us laugh non-stop and has the most kissable cheeks in the world!

Happy Birthday Mallory! We love you bunches and bunches!!

And Happy Birthday Jason!!!!!!!!! Jason got a baby for his birthday this year (isn't he lucky :) - the last 3 out of 4 years Jason's birthday has been on the back burner cause we've had a baby (and I've been recovering :) - maybe next year we'll celebrate big!! Happy Birthday sweetie! I love you!!!!!!

Mallory Jane:

Here Comes Baby Jack!

Well...we are about to leave the house a family of 4, and come home a family of 5 :) Today we're on our way to the hospital to meet Jack Christopher - the newest addition to our little family. We are so excited, anxious and ready to have our world turned slightly upside-down (well, shifted at least :)!

So, you may not hear from us for a little bit - but as soon as we can we will post all about the new little man in our lives! Can't wait to share with you!!

For now, here are newborn pictures of our Max and Mallory in the hospital - can't wait to see what little Jack looks like :)

Here's a little Happy Birthday post for our little man (and of course our baby girl too - her birthday is right around the corner :)

Happy Birthday Max! We LOVE you!!! (and Happy Birthday Uncle Fred too!! :)

Casey Cares - 5th Annual Golf Tournament

When Jason and I wrote our 2008 business goals earlier this year, #2 on the list was "Donate Services to 2 or more charities/organization's". Although that goal was met pretty early on, Jason continues to support charities when given the opportunity, and one of those opportunities came to him recently. Jason was made aware of a local organization - the Casey Cares Foundation, which is a Maryland-based non-profit organization that "provides uplifting programs to critically ill children and their families". He wasn't able to help them out with the original event they needed photographed, but when he found out they had their 5th Annual Golf Tournament coming up, which each year raises many-thousands of dollars for the foundation, he jumped at the opportunity to help out and offered to photograph the tournament.

The golf tournament was held at the Maryland Golf and Country Club, and the weather was hot, but absolutely beautiful! The day began with some practice swings, followed by some words from Casey Baynes, founder of the Casey Cares Foundation, then the tee-off. After all the teams finished up, there was a dinner and auction. The event was successful, uplifting, and Jason was thrilled to be able to take part in it (and he was nice enough to bid and win a silent auction item for me - isn't he super sweet!!).
 

Take a look:

Ryan Ogden, Beth Wieczorek and Casey Baynes did an amazing job with this event!
