BUSY BUSY BUSY!! PART I

We have been VERY busy since our last post! During the past few weeks we all travelled back to RI for a bunch of big happenings! First, we are in the process of getting our condo ready to be rented again. Our tenants have moved out and we have some work to do before it is ready to be occupied again. We have hooked back up with Melanie (a high school friend and our realtor) to help us to get some new tenants, Uncle Dan and Big Papi have been helping us with some work around the condo, including installing a new kitchen floor and we have already had one family look at it! We are hoping to get all the work done this month and have it ready to be occupied in July or August!

Second, we attended the graduation of Uncle Mike and Auntie Caity from high school. Jack's first high school graduation to attend and the first graduation that Caite and Mike were not watching from the sidelines. They have sat through MANY graduations! :) Jack and I arrived in RI on Thursday morning to attend a graduation brunch that Grammy put together for Caite, Mike and all their friends before the graduation in the afternoon. Jack got passed around to a lot of open arms and charmed everyone! :) Uncle Chris arrived Wednesday night and he was excited to see how big Jack had gotten and how active! He described him as going from a "potato with legs" to a more solid little guy! :)

On Friday morning MY Grammy and Grampy came for a visit with Jack. He showed them all of his tricks, from rolling over to eating his lunch like he had never been fed before! :) Jack has also started "crawling"! He squirms around on his forearms and knees, with his belly on the floor. He has started to pick up a lot of momentum, but hasn't figured out how to lift the belly up yet. BOY are we in trouble! He is a moving MACHINE!! On Friday night Daddy came into town after a long work week and we went to Gramma and Big Papi's to see all the family including Tom's Uncle Fred (in from Arizona!). It was a great time!!

On Saturday, DADDY TURNED 30!!! and Uncle Dan turned 28! I had put together a golf outing and BBQ to celebrate. 14 guys golfed during the day and then came to my parents' for a BBQ. I think we had about 30 family and friends attend. It was a lot of fun and the only day that the sun has come out in like 2 weeks! We did get a few raindrops in the evening, but the weather held for the golf.

Daddy went back to CT on Sunday and Jack and I continued our stay in RI. On Monday morning Grammy and I packed up the car and drove up to Marblehead to visit with some long time friends-Lyn Freeman and Ginny Von Rueden. They were so excited to finally meet Jack and get some cuddle time! We had a great lunch, a nice walk around Marblehead when the sun peeked out, and a lot of great conversations and catching up! Grammy and I feel so lucky to have kept up our friendships with them for so long and really have enjoyed getting to have our girls (+jack) lunches! :)

MORE TO COME....
