Summer Fun!

Wow! Time has been flying by!! I can't believe it has been almost a month since we've posted. Life has been a little rough lately, but amidst all the turmoil little Mason is our ray of sunshine! He is growing SO FAST!! He had his 2 month checkup on the 16th and he was 10 lbs 12 oz!! I feel like he's not little anymore and it makes me sad! He is so full of life and always has a funny expression on his face! I can tell he's taking in everything and learning a lot about his world. He does something new and cute every day!

He started smiling for reals last week!

We've been having so much fun golfing with Grandma Linda and Grandpa David!!



The first few weeks of June were still pretty chilly- this particular evening we went golfing and I forgot a hat to keep Mason's head warm and a burp cloth. We improvised with a pair of his pants and the golf towel...




Mason LOVES his bath time!! He was extra sleepy this day!



Mommy and Mason have been hanging out at the pool!



Pete has a new partner for Volleyball and they have been tearing it up!! They took 4th place at the Liberty park tournament and 2nd place last week in the "A" division. It is so fun to watch!! We look forward to Saturdays all week!

Shout out to Fam & Friends!

Tonight I am feeling super grateful for all the love and support we have received since Mace was born.  Having a baby is a huge deal and I just wanted to say thank you for all the dinners, advice, shoulders to cry on, etc.  We truly love you all and wouldn't be who we are today without each one of you! XOXO

Baby Mason's Fake Cry

So Mace is already learning how to manipulate the system-- he's so cute I just can't resist giving him anything his tiny heart desires! I so want to capture every second of his life- just over memorial day weekend I took 76 pictures and 24 movie clips of him. This particular tidbit shows baby mason during tummy time- he got a little tired of it and let out the cutest pretend cry!! I laugh every time I watch it!!

Yeah! We're Bloggers!!

Tonight, I find myself sucked into the world of "blog."  What a fun way to journal our lives and keep in touch with friends at the same time!  I only have one disclaimer- I'm not a writer!!  You'll all have to bear with me as I try, clumsily, to organize my thoughts.  SO... Our lives have taken a dramatic turn over the last 2 months-  we're parents!! It has been a major adjustment going from working full time to being a stay at home mommy.  The first few weeks were rough, but Mace and I are adjusting and working into a nice routine.  Most days I feel like I'm in a dizzy haze from sleep deprivation, but I'm trying to enjoy every minute of his tiny life because I swear he's growing right before my eyes!  I have to admit I was worried that our lives would be over now that we have a kid but so far we have taken him golfing, fishing, out to dinner and much more.  It's easy to take him places right now because he sleeps through mostly everything-  I'm sure it won't be like that for long but we'll enjoy it while it lasts.  Pete is so cute with him- I love watching them together.  You never know what kind of parent your spouse will be, but I think I'm one of the lucky ones who can give their kids a truly committed dad who is interested and involved in their lives.  Just look at them together!!
