Birthday Boy

It was a special day full of simple pleasures. Lunch with Dad, a blue balloon, a new ride and a cupcake to top it all off. Happy birthday, dear Blaise.

Special Guests

Blaise met a few special people over the weekend- three to be exact. Tommy's best friend Chris, his wife Jen, and their bun in the oven (it's a boy!) visited for the long weekend. Here are a few snapshots of our adventures at Lincoln Park Zoo and Buckingham Fountain. Blaise can't wait to meet his new baby buddy who is set to arrive in August.

I heart NY.

Thank you for my new shirt, Aunt Maggi!

Enjoys long walks on the beach...

and graham crackers.

Family Fun

This weekend was dedicated to family as we celebrated Elisa's baptism. Pictures are coming of the little lady!

No need for a title or caption:

Clearly the "Meatball" enjoys his meals.

I wanna be like Mike.

Michael Phelps that is! Blaise is almost done with baby swim class, so today Tommy went to see what all the buzz was about. Here they are blowing bubbles and practicing how to exit the pool. (Is that really a necessary skill for a baby to master? Hmmm...) Blaise tried going underwater with Dad. It went okay. Here he is safe in Mama's arms after class. Go for the gold, Blaise!
