Mother's Day 2007 (and more)

Jake and I had a great visit at the Schwartz house on Saturday. Heather and Ryan were there along, with Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz and Kris and her 3 month old baby girl, Sydney. Mrs. Schwartz cooked a nice breakfast for everyone, and we were able to hang out and catch up for a few hours. Meme and Alison headed over just as we were leaving since they hadn't seen Heather in ages either. After leaving, we got a quick bite to eat at Halo Burger and fed Jake as well. Jake then took a nice nap including about an hour or so being held by Meme.

During this time, Michele was in Lansing with her girlfriends. They grabbed some lunch and did a little shopping at the outlets.

On Sunday, after going to church with DLCnM at St. Mary's of the Hills, we had a delicious brunch at Gus O'Connors in Rochester. I would highly recommend anyone in the area try it out some Sunday. We had quite a large party: Pete and Teri, both Grandma's (Remenicky and Stewart), DLCnM, MPnA, Melissa, Mark and Kelly, and the three of us.

We headed home after brunch, and after his nap and snack, we spent the rest of the day outside. I blew a tube on my bike, so Michele got to pull Jake for the first time in his trailer. I rollerbladed along beside them, and we went up to a local park. Jake got to swing, slide, and play in the wood chips. We then got out his new water table when we got back home, and let him splash around in the water until dinner time.

Here's a little video that I took of Jake playing around on the piano on Saturday. I didn't realize it was going to turn out so dark, but you can get a good idea of how much fun he was having. You'll want to make sure your speakers are turned on so you can hear his masterpiece!
