Memorial Day Weekend


Well, it was just mommy and Jake around this weekend. Joe went up north fishing with my dad, brother, and uncle. They left on Friday afternoon and will be back sometime tomorrow (Wednesday). This is an annual trip, which Joe really looks forward to. Last year, Jake was only 2 months old and did not realize his daddy was gone. Well, he did this year! When he wakes up in the morning, he says "Da Da?' He asks about a thousand other times throughout the day. There happens to be a picture of the three of us on his changing table. Jake picks up the frame and points to Joe everytime.

Jake had his 1 year pictures taken on Saturday. He was in a pretty good mood, until I took his ball away from him. Then, he was sitting on the floor and leaned back too far, and fell over and bumped his head. He was pretty much done with pictures at that point. Luckily, the photographer caught several cute shots.



On Sunday, we packed up our stuff and our dog, and went to spend time at Grandma's house. It is so nice to hang out there. Jake has so much more room to move and Kirby can play with all the other dogs. We helped Grandma buy flowers for her house. Monday was a really hard day for Jake. He was pretty crabby all day. Nothing would make him feel better. It was a long day. I tried to find some moments while Jake was sleeping to hang out with my sister by the pool.



Jake has a new obsession. He has to listen to the book Goodnight Moon before bed each night. I think Joe and I have it memorized. I used to love this book as a child, so I think it is cute that he does, too!
