This past weekend, I (Jamie) spent a few days away with extended family. Although not restricted to just my male family members, it somehow turned out that way. I guess none of the women thought that 2+ days of nothing but fishing intermixed with food and drink was appealing. Either that or they don’t enjoy sharing their days with gnats, mosquitoes, yellow flies and no-see-ums. The 10 of us that went had a blast, caught a ton of fish, ate like kings, played countless rounds of pool and generally just enjoyed the company. Below are selected photos from the long weekend. I apologize for not getting pictures of everyone; I blame the fish for distracting me from the camera.

you may have heard
that good sleep is not a regular thing around the Perreault household right now. We are getting neither quality nor quantity right now; which when you are a person that needs sleep a whole awful lot (ie me and Jamie) it makes for a pretty stinky situation. Here’s one of my coping methods…



Looking at these makes me realize that sleep is possible for our little Jay Bird- woohoo! We are making progress, it’s slow but steady, and that’s progress none the less.

I’ve been friends with Scott for over 20 years. We were in each other’s wedding (less than a month apart), roomed together in college at FSU, and have countless great memories together

Once a week, we have lunch with my Grandpa. He picks up firehouse subs and brings them over. It is a day that we look forward to each week. When his work allows, my cousin Michael joins us.

Before Jay was born, I asked my dad if he would be Jay’s Pépère. Growing up, I had a Pépère and wanted my son to have the same. For those unaware, Pépère is the French word for Grandpa
Since my mom wants to be Mimi, my Mémère will remain simply Mémère. We won’t use the French term for Great Grandma

Jamie’s Mémère and Aunt Odette came down from Jacksonville for the day to spend some time with Jay. We had a wonderful time with them and can’t wait for their next visit
