family pictures

Published on by kristenperreault3 Comments

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!

man o' man do I love this guy!
might be a permanent expression on my face when this little boy gets to be mobile

love this too- my two handsome guys

one year ago today…

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

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…

first pics of sweet baby Jay

Over the next nine months I did this…

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).

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…

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 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…

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…

splish-splash

Jamie and I had a wonderful long weekend; I hated to see him leave for work this morning!  Granted I usually don’t like when he has to leave in the morning regardless of how long the weekend was.  We enjoyed some wonderful time as a family and also some wonderful time with family.  Jay also had his first dip in the pool this weekend!  I have many more pictures to share from his swim but I am busily trying to hack away at some of my work this week so I’ll tease you with just one from the 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.

the best gift!

Today, on Mother’s Day, I am reminded of just how very blessed I am.  I couldn’t ask for a better husband and Daddy to Jay or for anything more in a son.  Since the very first moment that he came into this world Jay has captured my heart and I continue to love him more and more each day.  I have had the most wonderful day with my two guys and Jay gave me the best Mother’s Day gift- his first real laugh!  I love the sound of babies laughing; however, when the laugh comes from your child it is the most amazing sound on Earth!!

By the way, we were lucking enough to have the video camera rolling when he laughed.  So you really are seeing his first laugh in this video!

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.
