that you had as wonderful of a weekend as we did!
We lounged around…
We spent time with friends and family…
We cooked and ate a bunch…
We snoozed…
and snoozed some more…
We hung out in the hammock…
We went for our first stroller ride…
We documented our first Easter as a family…
and we posed by our new Easter basket…

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.
A few weekends ago Jamie and I took Jay outside to wait for friends to come over; this child LOVES the outdoors and is pretty much always happy when we go outside. While we were out there we ended up taking some pictures, it was completely unplanned but they turned out great. I didn’t realize until looking at the photos afterwards that we were color coordinated; we were all in nice shades of blue and red (really, I swear it wasn’t planned). By the way, I love the outfit that Jay is wearing; it was given to us by my Auntie Deb and Grandma who purchased it from my favorite shop in Canada, Roots.
These are some of my favorite pictures that we have taken to date (although I have a lot of favorites) so please excuse the obnoxious amount of pictures that I am going to post :-)
Over the weekend both of Jamie’s sisters were in town. Nicole flew in from Asheville and Holly drove down from Tallahassee; Jay really enjoyed both of his Aunts being in town and great to have them both here. This trip was the first time for Jay to meet his Aunt Nicole and I think that they were pretty smitten with each other, check out the pictures below. We celebrated birthdays, played games and just really enjoyed everyone being around while they were here- cannot wait until they can come back!!

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

I think after having a child that I won’t ever be on time for anything again. Recently no matter how hard I try we generally run at least a few minutes behind schedule. This is apparently is also true for birthday blog shout outs, so excuse my tardiness dear brother…
On Friday my one and only brother and Jay’s one and only Uncle (on both sides) turned 31!! Believe me when I tell you that life would not be quite as interesting without him in it; he is sure to add a little spice and laughter to any gathering. Hope you had a wonderful birthday Scott, we love you!

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
It is incredibly hard to believe that already a whole month has gone by since this wonderful little creature came into our lives but at the same time it is hard to think of a time without him in it…
On Saturday Jamie and I celebrated Jay’s 1 month birthday, and by celebrated I mean catered to his every need :-) Saturday was an especially rough day; Jay hasn’t been able to calm himself down very well lately and has made us work to get him settled and into his “happy boy” state- Saturday was no exception to this rule… Actually I think that he decided to be extra difficult because he knew Mommy wanted to get some special pictures of him (we even made a trip to publix for the cupcakes). Either way we got some really cute ones so enjoy!
