Bridal Shower!

On Saturday I helped host a bridal shower for Nicole. It was a great time and everything turned out lovely. As always, Nicole made us laugh. She received some beautiful things and promised when she opened a spatula/cookie sheet combination that she's improved and no longer flips her cookies. Phew.

Congrats Mrs. Wonger Matheson (that's what we've taken to calling her). We can't wait for the wedding. It will be a wonderful day. On with the kilts!

Still Crazy After All These Years...

On Saturday David and I celebrated our five year anniversary! In many ways the time has flown by and yet, it's hard to believe how much has changed since 2003. We moved, got jobs, found apartments, changed apartments, bought a car, sold a car, tackled law school, bought a dog, bought a house, had a beautiful baby and now have another beautiful baby on the way! It's been a wild ride. I am both blessed and honored to have such a wonderful partner. David, you're the "Dyson" of husbands (inside joke). I love you. Thank you for all you do!

Jack and Joanie

Joanie and Ann visited this past week. It was nice to spend time with them. Jack loved hanging out with Joanie. He actually says her name and it's the first person I've ever heard him call directly by name. When I was trying to put him down for a nap the other day he started crying, "Joanie!!!" We'll miss you!

Our Growing Family

Here's a few pics Dave took the other day. Truthfully these are probably good pics--because I think I look bigger than this! Jack's getting big too. He's getting tall!

(Pic quality isn't the greatest but you get the idea. Jack's closing his eyes in the second pic taking after his Aunt "B" and in the last one his eyes are as red as his shirt. Oh well!)

Bills Brownie Blitz

My mom, Ann and Joanie came to visit yesterday! It was so good to see them. In honor of them being here we had to celebrate with some special ice cream. Maybe we can fedex you some Kev. For those of you who can, go out and buy some Brownie Blitz. It's sooo good (plus Perry's is a local business).

Ode to Curls

When I look at Jack I can definitely see traits that he has inherited from both of us. There's no question he looks like his dad. He has his mouth, dimple and build. I think he has my nose (haha, Tracy nose) and sometimes I see a similarity in our eyes. As I've looked at some old pictures I've definitely noticed resemblances to both our brothers too. There was a picture of Kevin that I saw recently and if I looked from far away I would have thought it was Jack. Similarly yesterday I was organizing some pics that were in a kitchen drawer. I came across the picture of Matt and looked up at Jack. It was so weird! Their hair was exactly the same!! Just yesterday I was out and some woman stopped me and said she loved Jack's hair. As she said this I looked down at him and his hair was just a mop of sweaty curls. I laughed and thanked her and told her, "I swear we do brush it from time to time."

The color may be a little different but other than that, check it out:

Warning : PG-13

It seems like lately, every day around 5 PM, Jack starts to disrobe. He takes his shirt off and runs around. I'm not really sure what it is about this time of day. Perhaps our house gets particularly hot in the late afternoon. At any rate, it's pretty funny when Dave gets home from work to find his son half naked. Fortunately Jack doesn't get his drawers off with as much ease as his shirt!!
