Baby Shower 2.0

Here are a few photos from our shower. This day marked a big occasion, as it was the first time that Mae said the name "Rodger". She was trying to get his attention to show him how much she likes Grandma's homemade cheesecake. Please note the gift that Valerie is opening from the Bunco girls. It has their picture on it just in case we might forget who they are!! Thank you to all that attended the shower. We are grateful for all of the gifts given to us and our baby girl.

Baby Shower at Rachael's house

Rachael hosted a baby shower at her house for our little one. She and her mom spent countless hours on the coolest centerpiece. It is made up of cookies in the shapes of onesies, bears, and strollers - all hand decorated - and hung on a tree. Rachael is quite the hostess!!

Happy Birthday to Megan Hugunin! She had a Sponge Bob themed party, and just like Sponge Bob... spent a lot of time under the water!!

Watson is getting bigger!

f



Watson is loving being a puppy. Since we have brought him home, he has grown from 17 lbs (in the photo with Ava) to nearly 30 lbs (in the photo with Grandma). Watson's favorite things include his chew sticks, which sometimes make him look like he is smoking a cigar, and playing with anything that is on the floor. He is definitely too big for Valerie to lift anymore, so we have had to be creative with our house training. Watson spent a week with Grandma and Grandpa Binkowski, where he learned how to fetch a ball and play soccer. We are still trying to train him NOT to walk through the flowers and NOT to go to the bathroom in the house!
