party fools!

Published on by kristenperreault1 Comment

Sunday was a special day in the Perreault Household- on Sunday, Piper turned 3 years old!!  That’s huge, in puppy-dog-years she is 21 and can now purchase her own drinks.  Not that she would, I am just saying…

Jay wanted to celebrate, celebrate in style- hats were a necessity!

happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...

On a side note- Jamie, Jay and I went for our first picnic together that afternoon.  Jay ate before we left and in the car at the park (yippee for the portability of breast feeding) and Jamie and I were able to spread the blanket out long enough (just long enough) to quickly eat our sandwiches under the shade of a tree.  This is counted as a success in my book- progress is being made in our house since we can actually get out of the house now!  We were also able to walk around the garden (Mead Gardens) and boardwalk while we were there- glorious, just glorious!!

we got Jay a cool hat kind of like his Daddy's- we want to keep the sun off of that sweet head of his!

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…

btw- Jay hates the car seat and therefore the stroller too. This picture was taken after he was taken out, calmed down, fell asleep and then put back in.

We documented our first Easter as a family…

and we posed by our new Easter basket…

i love it, i tell ya

Have a mentioned before that I really do love wearing this kiddo? It makes him so portable and snugly and what could be better?! I was looking through some “older” photos and found these couple gems that I couldn’t resist sharing.

Jamie likes wearing him too- don't worry, we take turns

proud of our roots

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 :-)

I am a baby wearer

I am a baby wearer… it’s true and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Both Jamie and I purchased carriers before Jay was born in the anticipation of wearing him frequently.  We had heard that it increases the bond between parent and child; plus as an added bonus it is a way to have your hands free and actually get things done.  I never thought that I would have taken to it so much, I love having Jay so close to me.  Just the other day I asked Jamie if we could head out for a walk just so I could wear him- we had visitors over the day before who were more than willing to get in some cuddle time which means that I was feeling deprived.

These are some self portraits that we took the other day- it is how we amuse ourselves while Daddy is at work :-)

welcome friends!

Welcome everyone!  Jamie and I have decided to combine our efforts to bring you the most up to date photos and tidbits from our life; we figure if we both have a go at it we may actually stay somewhat up to date.  Demand for pictures of our cutie is high and free time is low right now, so we will try our best…

We are so happy for you to be here, thanks for visiting- be sure to come back soon!!
