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.
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!!
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.
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…
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…
We went to the Audubon Society Birds of Prey Center (my Aunt loves birds)…

We took walks on the Cady way path…

Their visit was such a treat and I loved every minute that we were able to spend with them. I only wish that we could do it again soon.
