Jen visits!

Our favorite Montessori Teacher, Mom, Friend, and Companion, Jen, came to town for Kt's wedding from Seattle. We had so much fun with Jen as she met Kai and gave us valuable advice to guide him through this first year of fun!

Mother's Day 2007

My first Mother's Day! Kai has just begun to roll and to stick all of his fingers (and anything else he can find) into his mouth. On Mother's Day, he was under the weather and initiated Joe and I into parenthood by puking all over us numerous times. But, he is feeling better now!

Joey and Summer remembered me on Mother's Day by giving me my first "Mu-Mu"!! Don't you love house dresses?

My Nonny-- isn't she beautiful?

Here are the three Mollies-- Molly Cooney, Me, Kt, and Molly Sweetman (Kt's sister)

Wedding Preparation

Kt and Paul were married on May 5th!! We had such a fun weekend with them. Here are a couple of photos of Kai and Kt hanging out (someone has to hold the sleeping baby!)while I was writing out the placecards for the big day.

My brother, Uncle Joey, and his girlfriend, Tia Summer spend a lot of time with Kai-- here he is showing off his cute hats!

More Picnic Photos

Picnic

We had a wonderful picnic with the Healy family at our favorite picnic place, right by our house near the Mississippi River. As you can see, Kai is growing up! And, these photos are from a few weeks ago. You should see him now-- he is rolling, giggling, talking (very loudly in baby talk), and grabbing toys (and cats) with both hands!
