May wrap-up

We had a lot of fun this May.

I celebrated my first Mother's Day with champagne and a new CAMERA!!! Chris secretly got everyone to pitch in for a new DSLR. What a surprise to open up that gift. Thank you to Chris and everyone who contributed -- I can't tell you how much fun I will have with it over the years!

Also this month, Chris' beard and hair began to resemble something we had seen before, but we couldn't quite place it....

Oh yes, the Beach Boys' Endless Summer album's artwork.


Also, maybe a slight likeness to Cat Stevens?


Um...close but no cigar.


And Jane has been having a blast


playing in JG and VV's pool,



goofing around with ol' fancy pants,

grabbing her toes,

and sticking them in her mouth,

playing in the park,


hanging out with JG,

standing on Mom,

napping in her stroller (while cleverly wrapped up in Mom's hoodie),

taking baths,


watching Dad dance (even though you can't see him, he's just off to the side putting on quite a show),

figuring out all the toys on her new activity center,


doing Teletubbie yoga,

and just being with Mom and Dad.

This is Jane's new thing, it's replaced thumb and finger sucking.



This is pretty much our day.
