Aunt Jamie would prefer to be called “Fantastic” Aunt Jamie rather than Great Aunt Jamie, but for this post, we’ll use her official title

family pictures

I have been wanting to get some nice pictures of us as a family for some time now; you know aside from the self portrait style (which in all honestly I sometimes really love- but they have their place). So this past Sunday Nan and her two adorable men headed over to Rollins College with us to grab a few. My little guy wasn’t really cooperating, the ground was far more interesting than anything else around, however; Nan worked her magic and was able to grab a few that I’ll cherish forever. Thanks friend- love you!

hubby and me — man o' man do I love this guy!

funny face — might be a permanent expression on my face when this little boy gets to be mobile

daddy and jay — love this too- my two handsome guys

friends and babies — sweet friend and the little boys

one year ago today…

One year ago today I took one of these (the first of many for my unbelieving eyes)…

positive preggo test — I loved that the one said "yes" it's like pregnancy tests for dummies :-)

and it said that we were going to have one of these…

Over the next nine months I did this…

Growing Bump from James Perreault on Vimeo.

It really is hard to believe that I was this big at one point (these are the last pictures that we have of me before Jay was born).

very large Kristen with baby jay — please excuse the scowl, apparently I was uncomfortable- how quickly we forget!

Even if I don’t remember being that big I do remember how it amused me so to take pictures of my feet poking out from my belly…

belly and feet — see, it really is an amusing view :-)

114 days ago from today (and 251 days from May 21, 2009- if you are one to count) we became this…

first family picture — first picture as a family of three

One year ago today I couldn’t imagine having this little guy in my life and now I can’t imagine my life without him…

jay bird — so in love with this little fella

So what this all boils down to is that one year ago today Jamie and I were blessed…

an extra special day…

No, I haven’t flown off my rocker- I know that it is actually Thursday. It’s just that Jamie has tomorrow (and Monday) off so it is Friday in the Perreault household- woohoo!! I am so excited to be able to spend the long weekend with my guys! We are looking forward to some much needed rest, relaxation and especially to seeing Sean and Mary Beth who are flying in from New York tonight. They have not met Jay yet (aside from a video chat) and we are anxious to introduce them. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend as much as we will.

a man and his truck- it’s a beautiful thing

This has been a long time coming, the day that my father-in-law purchased a new truck. Although it looks very similar to the old one (at least to me a girl and non-connoisseur of vehicles) I am sure it is so much cooler. Actually I promise that it is cooler, seriously I have been told this by both my hubby and father-in-law. I feel it only appropriate to grunt and make “man” noises before actually unveiling this beauty so pardon me- ugh, ugh- roarrrr…

And now…

faraway travelers

When I was young I was spoiled rotten by these two ladies (and my Mom’s other sister and brother who aren’t pictured).

They came to every recital and soccer game (even if I did stand on my head in the goal for the whole game), they spent endless hours playing with me and dressing me up like a princess (don’t believe- I have pictures) and spent hours, well, just being there for me. Apparently, when you grow up the spoiling doesn’t end because they did it again. In Mid- March they flew all the way from Canada to meet my son. I am not sure that I could describe how proud I was to introduce them to little Baby Jay…

It was so great of them to make such a long trip, we LOVED having them here. I wish daily that they were closer so we could see them more. While they were in town, aside from just starring at Jay (which surprisingly many people can do for long periods of time), we took them to see some of the nontraditional Florida sites- ie we didn’t go to Disney or the beach.

We went to Craft Azalea Gardens to check out the flowers in bloom…
