Roman's New Glasses

My adorable nephew, Roman, just got his first pair of glasses. He is only two years old and loves that he now wears glasses like Daddy.

Roman loves to see pictures of himself on the blog, so I wanted to create this post especially for him.

There are lots of cute kids that wear glasses, but isn't he just the sweetest thing?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy 1st Birthday, Lucy!

Today was Lucy's first birthday. We celebrated it at Jeremy's sister's house in Waukesha. It was a beautiful day-warm and sunny-and of course Lucy was the star of the show.

 

There was lots of wonderful foods, salads, treats and snacks, as well as little boys and girls and a few large dogs!

Wonderful food

Delicious Salads



Lucy was dressed for the occasion. Her outfit included a pink bow tiara, pink tutu, and silver shoes. She received beautiful outfits and toys, although she made mom open most of the gifts, as she was preoccupied with the pink and red balloons that were floating around the room.

Pink cupcakes and a special birthday cake marked the special occasion.

Lucy's brother and sister were having fun at the party as well. They are always attentive to her needs.

Mom and dad seemed to be having a great time with their little princess. She does take a little more effort to keep track of now that she is walking and running.

Jackie's Surprise Baby Shower

Each year a few family members make the annual trip to visit Jim, Jackie and my 7 nephews. This year, with numbers 8 and 9 on the way, and one of them a GIRL, we wanted to give Jackie a surprise "babies" shower!


The Happy ( very busy) Couple

Lou and I, and mom and Linda brought lots of girl and boy gifts and clothes, and a cake. Max, Vince, and Molly secretly blew up pink and blue balloons in the basement.

Awesome Cake with Pink and Blue Booties

Max and Molly were home from College, so they were able to join in the fun as well. It is amazing to see Max is now taller than Dad!

Vince Playing one of His Many Guitars

We had such a great time watching each boy play piano. Vince has become quite a guitarist and can play Jazz, Blues, Blue Grass... anything. He also has taken up the mandolin and is proficient on the piano.

One of the highlights was listening to one of Jim's Direct TV music stations while watching the living room strobe light flash- and dancing as we tried to keep balloons in the air.

Of course, it is always a joy to watch the little ones play with their toys or blankets, or whatever is at hand. 

We are very excited to see the two new bundles that are coming later this summer.
