It has been a while since I posted a blog. The Nelson Household has been busy keeping up with our C. Following our exciting Memorial Day weekend the Osowski’s came for a visit. C loved playing with Owen and his little brother Warren. We swam, ate ice cream, went to our favorite store Buy Buy Baby and played, played, played. Owen tried to teach C to ride his choo choo train and the 2 of them laughed and giggled while playing. We were able to capture a lot of this on video. Jack and I have promised ourselves to go to Houston more often so the boys can continue to grow to know each other. Plus we enjoyed visiting with Jennifer and James. It had been much too long.
With Jack home from school for a few weeks he was able to go with us to several doctor’s appointments. He agreed with my analysis of Children’s Medical Center – that it is awesome. The staff, the doctors and the facilities. We had appointments with C’s asthma doctor, pediatrician as well as an MRI. Besides daily breathing treatments – everything else was normal. Thankfully!!!
Jack’s time at home was very brief as his summer camp activities began on June 18th. He is at the University of North Texas Mean Green debate Camp thru July 9. He is then home for a week or so before going to Tyler for Project Lead the Way for 2 weeks. While at camp we enjoyed Nanny, KiKi (my sister Christi) and Courtney.
C is a HUGE fan of Nanny. They played, went swimming (Nanny even got her hair wet) and shopping. We were lucky that Courtney’s National Dance Competition was held in Mansfield. We were able to make all of her dance days and C enjoyed clapping and dancing in the back. Nanny and I took turns on C duty. KiKi and Courtney were able to spend her non-dance days with us. Courtney was a great play pal. They built a fort, played in the playroom, read, and she even taught him some new tricks in the pool.
We have tried to capture as much of these activities on video as well as with pictures. C loves looking at himself in pictures. He is growing like a weed. He LOVES swimming, reading, talking to his favorite friend “Spot” (a stuffed Dalmatian that he talked Nanny into buying). Spot goes everywhere with him. We are working on sign language and teaching C to communicate with us.
C and I leave for Nacogdoches later this week – we will enjoy spending time with Nanny, Grandma and Papa and a visit to the bay to meet and enjoy the 4th with the Burgess family.
We continue to appreciate all of our family and friends for their love and support on what we refer to as Jack and Melinda phase 2. C is a true joy to be with and we are grateful every day that he is in our lives.
Happy Memorial Day

We had such a fun Memorial Day weekend. Grandma and Papa came for a visit Friday afternoon. This was their first to our home in Richardson. We played Friday afternoon and went for a visit to see Jack's classroom. On Saturday morning we went to the Original Pancake House for breakfast and then went to the Nature and Science Museum (part of the Children's Museum was closed Saturday due to flooding). After a tour of the museum we headed to Denton to visit with Jack's grandmother (Mamaw) and other family members. We had a delicious dinner at Aunt Janice's house before heading back to Dallas.
Sunday we went to church and went swimming in the afternoon. C loves swimming and is learning to blow bubbles and put his head under the water.
Monday Jack and C went to Lowes to pick up some mesquite for some of his famous Jack burgers. They came back with a flag to put in the yard. After a nice long nap, Aunt Tiffany and Uncle Stephen came over to swim and eat burgers. C loved playing and swimming with both of them. He laughed and laughed with Uncle Stephen. We hope to spend more time with them - they live so close to us.
It was a great weekend, our only regret is that we were unable to go to Christi's lakehouse. Nanny was spending time watching Chance and Courtney ski. Oh well...next time. We will get to see them in a few weeks during Courtney's dance competition.
This is Jack's last week of school and the Osowski's are coming for a visit on Thursday. Should be a fun and exciting short week.
