the grass isn’t always greener on the other side

Since I’d say our grass is pretty darn green :-) I love, love, love afternoons like we had today!! Jamie, Jay and I took a stroll on Park Ave and ended up letting Jay stretch his legs in the grass before heading home. Jay loved it! There were so many new things to look at, feel and explore- it’s a good thing that I tote my camera everywhere with me these days; I would have hated to miss getting this.

Hope your Saturday afternoon was as wonderful as ours…

my guys

in case you didn’t know

we still have three furry children that live in our house, they just don’t get as much face time on the blog as they used to. Doesn’t mean that we don’t love them as much as we did but we do take fewer pictures of them now.

Just so they don’t feel too neglected here are a few of them lately…

she's so pretty...

an advantage of having a baby in the house is having baby stuff to hide under :-)

dinner with friends

On Sunday Jamie, Jay and I had the pleasure of visiting Lauren, John and Betsy (their Toy Yorkie- I think that’s the correct term, sorry Lauren if it’s not). They had us over to their place, nice new digs by the way, where we had a wonderful dinner and were able to enjoy some time catching up. A great time was had by all, even Jay and Betsy had a great time “playing” with each other. Betsy is so tiny and much smaller and more energetic than any animal Jay has ever met; she was bounding around playing with toys and us the whole time we were there and Jay couldn’t keep his eyes off of her! Those two were seriously too funny to watch…

sink baby

Ok, things around here can get a little routine. So being the creative Mom that I am (ha!) I try to change it up as much as I can. Jay currently loves the water- bath, pool and sink… the other day after washing my hands I plopped him in the sink and just let him play. He had a blast letting the water run on his feet and giggling at himself in the mirror and all we were down at the end of the experience was one used to be dry diaper- not too shabby if you ask me…

By the way, for those of you concerned for his safety I was always within reach and wasn’t going to let him “eat” the faucet. You can even see one of my hands in the picture above.

is he cute or what?

Do they get cuter than this?? I mean seriously- that smile, those thighs, the laugh (sorry you can’t hear it)!?!? I am loving every minute with this kiddo…

28 years old isn’t so bad

This year for my birthday I asked Jamie to take the day off. All I wanted this year was to spend the day with my guys and not have to plan a thing. Jamie surprised me by taking both Thursday and Friday off which allowed us to have a long weekend and it was wonderful!! I enjoyed some great time with extended family, we enjoyed some time together just the three of us and Jamie and I were even able to spend time together just the two of us! It was a wonderful birthday weekend and a wonderful start to what I can only imagine will be a great year!
