Snoozing with Papa Clark

Papa Clark came to call for a few hours before we left for Michigan. After showing Papa Clark his tummy time tricks Blaise decided it was time for a nap. (Thank you Aunt Becky for his new London wardrobe!)

She went to Old Saint Mary's and I went to Notre Dame

We were thrilled to introduce Blaise to Notre Dame. We took him to a few of our favorite spots: The Grotto, Alumni Hall and Reckers! We had a lot to be thankful for while at the Grotto. I pointed out the path over to Saint Mary's just in case Blaise is a "Domer" one day...

Hi, Owen!

Joel, Bridge, and Owen visited and met Blaise. Owen is so well behaved; he must get that from his mama!

Mimi to the rescue!

Mimi stayed with our family for over a week to get us started. She bonded with Blaise, whipped up delicious dinners, and even showed us how to give the little guy a bath. I think we'll have to start calling her "Saint Mimi!"

Old Town Art Festival

Blaise was out and about before he was a week old! We were proud to stroll him around Old Town. G-Pops looks like he is already a bad influence on Blaise...

Home Sweet Home

Blaise came home after spending two days in the hospital. He was greeted by family- including his cat, Ping! It seems like Ping has figured out he isn't the baby anymore.

Welcome to the family

Blaise met many family members while in the hospital. Visitors included: "Mimi," "G-Pops," Danny, Stephanie, "Papa Clark," "Grand Mare," Maggi and Danny. The Seilers and Bridget Jones also stopped by. Blaise is still waiting to meet Aunt Becky and Uncle Pat, who are currently living in London. He sends his love!
