Memorial Day Weekend - 6 months!



Last weekend Erin and Pat came for a visit. We spent Saturday and Sunday at the cabin. Joey was hanging with Sage and Dan took his first wake boarding run of the season. The weather was awesome! On Monday and Tuesday, Dan got to show his city off to his big sis. Dan, Erin, Pat and Joey hit the sculpture garden and the Guthrie.


This weekend we took a road trip to Des Moines to visit our good friends, Jennifer and James. The weather was beautiful and we spent the better part of the weekend either at the grill or in the pool. It looks like Joey is going to be a water baby. He loved the pool! It was good practice since he and Dan are going to take swimming lessons at the Y next month.

Joey just turned 6 months. Tonight he had his first taste of solid food - whole grain rice mixed with breast milk....yummmy? He takes after his Mom and Dad and seems to be a natural eater. Also, he has two teeth that have finally broken through after weeks of drooling so we're getting ready to say goodbye to those toothless smiles. :(

First Mother's Day

Last weekend we hit Chicago for a visit. We had a great reason to go - the sweet wedding of our good friends Chris Coleman and Laura Bender. Friday Night Dinners returned with a bang with a night out a Avec with Jennifer and James. Saturday was celebrated with the wedding at the St. James chapel (not to be confused with the St. James Episcopal church) and reception in the Garfield Park Conservatory. Sunday was spent as it should have been, surrounded by mothers, aunts, grandmas, friends, and spirit moms. Stephen spoiled us with brunch at the Paramount Room. Dan gave me an awesome painting by our good friend Quang Hong of my favorite Joey shot.


This weekend we were off to Sandy Lake. What a beautiful weekend!!! All the docks, lifts, and boats are now in the water and ready to go. Joey and Sage dipped their toes in the water for the first time. The two cousins hung out together at the cabin doing what they love to do: eating, pooping, and sleeping.


Next weekend we are looking forward to introducing Joey to Aunt Erin for the first time!!
