Guppie lessons...

Mason, Owen and Matthew. It is hard to get 3 little boys to sit still for the camera!

Mason and I take swim lessons every Wednesday. We are joined there by his friends Matthew (who is 4 days younger than Mason) and Owen (his newest friend).

The class is offically called "Pikes" but Mason has named it "Guppie" lessons after an episode of Little Bill on the Noggin Channel. So far he is really enjoying them.

Baby Shower

Sunday we held a Baby Shower for my sister-in-law Colleen. She is having a boy and is scheduled to deliver on May 15th. That doesn't leave much time and she got A LOT of beautiful things that have to be organized soon. Fran and I are very excited for Mason to have a first cousin.




The Loot! Looking at this you wonder how our grandmothers and mothers raised kids without all this stuff!

Here fishy, fishy, fishy....

Saturday was the first day of trout season so Fran was sure to take Mason out. He had been begging to try his new fishing pole for weeks. When the fishing commenced Mason decided he preferred the big fishing pole to his little one. He did manage to catch a trout but then decided he would rather play in the sand box. He definitely likes to catch he just doesn't have the patience to fish. Even though I was there strictly to take pictures I managed to catch a bass. (All fish were thrown back in case you were wondering) It was a very fun family activity.

11 Years.....

Fran and I celebrated our 11th Wedding Anniversary this past weekend. He sent me beautiful roses, and we went out for a lovely dinner. (Thanks Mom & Dad for baby sitting!)

Zzzzzzzzzzz

After refusing to lay in his bed this is where Mason finally decided to take his nap. To me it's not too comfortable looking but he was happy with it for over an hour.

Happy Birthday Nan!

Mason and I celebrated Nan's birthday. Of course Mason insisted on helping her blow out the candles.

Hockey

We took Mason to his first hockey game and he LOVED it. Especially when the guys slammed into the wall right in front of him. Even though our team lost it was a lot of fun!

Happy Birthday Nana!!

Nana just turned 89 at the end of March. And after just having surgery I think she is looking fabulous!!!

Update...finally!

I know, I know it's been a LONG time since I updated. I appreciate the patience of all of you who have hung in there. Unfortunately, I don't have too much news to report.
The housing search still continues. We put in a bid on Friday but were rejected. So were now trying to decide to rebid or just keep looking. My Mother just wants us to buy her house and she says that makes sense since 85% of my stuff is stored at her house I wouldn't have to move much!
Here are some pictures to keep you in the loop!


Super Pap & Super Mason, coming to the rescue!!


Mason's Easter outfit. He looks so cute & so much like a little boy.


Easter Sunday.


Mason & his friend Matthew at the Easter egg hunt where they were both kind enough to share their eggs with kids who didn't get any.


As I got out of the shower one day I discovered that Mason had emptied the majority of the refrigerator contents onto the kitchen table. When I asked what he was doing he replied " I am making a picnic...how do you like it??" I couldn't help but laugh, and take a picture of it.

Good bye Pirate Crab....

We are sorry to announce that the Pirate Crab has passed away. This is sort of sad since he was just up crawling around this morning. Fran went to feed him tonight and he was out of his shell and broken in pieces. I think he had a good run though, we've had him since Sept. I never thought he'd make it this long.

Good bye ol' crab...thanks for being a good pet.
