Happy Easter

Here I am on Easter Morning. Watching the chicks hop around with the bunnies.

I invited Mama into my house...but soon regretted it as she is now too big to even get in the door.

And here I am enjoying the 15 inches of snow we received on Friday. Mom and Dad hope it's the last of the season, but I love it!!

Time to start sharing

Mom and Dad have informed me that this burgeoning belly means things are going to change around here. And that this "baby" really is inside there and will be here in just a few months. But until then, I am still the baby around here and am darn cute if I may say so myself in my hat, which I have refused to take off for over a week now!!

come and take our snow away

The snow keeps piling up outside the Meyler household, but we're trying to survive.

Above I'm hanging with my moms and "chap-o." Below is the snow falling on our neighbor's tree. Pretty.

Here I am after digging out of the snow. I don't know if this stuff will ever melt...
I hope you all had an enjoyable Valentine's Day. My dada made heart-shaped pancakes for the grand occasion. Yum.

Chaplin used to strike this pose when he was a puppy - long before Jack was around, so there must just be something attractive about Jason's legs...

a kid and his second dog

Here's a shameless post to get our friends out to visit. Jack still loves the real dog - Chaplin - more, but this one's a great substitute!! Hope all are well.

We're back and celebrating the New Year

We had a very Merry Christmas and the New Year is already full of excitement. First and foremost, we're celebrating the safe and healthy arrival of Elke Stanley Sander (my cousin and my parents' first niece). Check out her blog on the right hand side.

an update - sorry for the delay!

Here I am with my moms and a hand made hat that was delightfully comfortable.













Halloween time was special and this year I was a rebellious little punk rock boy. Finish the line, 'just you and me...'

















Back to being cute...
















I lounge after the punk rock concerts.


















To all long-haired punk rock kids a hair cut is in store. (This was my first and my parents said that I behaved great!)











Three bad boys hangin' inside while the temp's take a dive outside.

I've got HOT FEET

So I've been walking for a while now (2 solid months). Check this video out to see my "hot feet."

2 Months of Changes...I've been busy

Mom and Dad want to apologize for the long absence. They say they have been "busy", with the new semester, painting the house and taking care of me...but I've been busy too. Since my last entry, I have learned to walk, run, climb and talk in two languages. Now who has been busier?
You will find some pictures from the last couple of weeks below and Mom and Dad will post a few funny stories soon. I love and miss you all, Jack.

Blowing out the candle!!

Yummmm....Cake

Boxes rule!!

Chillin' with G-Ma Meyler.

Helping Mom clean up the office.

Learning how to be punk rock.

And play the drums.

Helping with the school work.

Taking a break with Chaps and Mom.

Learning about the Monos at the zoo.

Can't we go on another walk, PLEASE?

An odyssey of more than 4000 miles

PheW! We all survived the car ride(s) from Milwaukee, WI to Ellensburg, WA to Richland, WA to Sequim, WA and back. Here are some highlights...

Corn. Miles and Miles of Corn. (and some soy)

All seen from the luxury of the backseat with Chaplin and Parents in tow.

Got to see the beautiful Columbia River and the Gorge.

And arrived happy and very ready to play at Aunt Maggie's and Uncle Dustin's

Enjoyed my first limo ride. Sweet!!

Partied down with the relatives at the wedding.

And spent some time with Mom and Dad at the Vineyard.

Saw Uncle Mack and Aunt BB get married AND eat cake!

Made some cool, new friends.

Enjoyed the view from the Grandparent's deck.

Met my Uncle Jeff.

And discovered the blackberry patch with a little help from Mom.

And saw much more corn on the way home.

Look what I can do now...

Yep, I can stand now, as long as there are window ledges to hold onto.

Here I am enjoying a dip in the pool.

A nice family portrait.

Watch out everyone, it's a showdown.

It was nice to see Grandpa Meyler (and Grandma), if just for one day.

Las caras de Jano

"Jano" is the Spanish translation of Janus - the Roman god that is typically represented with two faces. Looking at my two faces below, you might be surprised at the extremes to which I am enjoying life.


All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth, my two front teeth...

The dashing Jack Eliot at your service.
