Time to Catch Up!

We have had a really busy last week. Here are the highlights, mostly in pictures. We have a ton of pictures from the week, so we may try to put up a few others later in the week. Please enjoy these in the meantime.

Isla is three months old!




Isla's cousin Kameron celebrated his first birthday:

Lastly, I was a standby juror today and was eventually selected to be on the jury of a trial. More importantly, Mr. T was also in my group. He was not selected to the jury. Here are a couple pictures of him:

Happy Birthday Mommy

Today is Tiffany's birthday. We are going to the Cubs game tonight with our friends Kris and Maryann. Isla is headed over to the Murphy's for some fun with Adeline. Right now it's 45, rainy and windy in Chicago. In other words it's perfect weather for baseball.

Here's the birthday girl with Isla

Bosley's Getting Angry

Last week, Isla was playing on her gymini. Bosley decided he would sit close while we were there playing with Isla. The squeaker in the mat became too much for him to handle. Watch it unfold.

Fun at Four in the Morning

Give a baby a bottle at 4:15 in the morning and hilarity will surely ensue.

Isla was wide awake after I fed her and she flashed me a couple of small smiles. I went and grabbed the camera, hoping to get just one. This was the encore. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Happy Birthday Kameron!

Today is Isla's cousin Kameron's 1st birthday! Yay! She is excited to celebrate with our favorite little buddy! 

This is the year!

It's the phrase Cubs fans have said to open the season for many, many years. Today our Cubbies play their first home game against the Colorado Rockies. In typical Opening Day fashion, it's rainy and cold here, but Isla is ready for the game and a victorious season! She comes from a long line of Cubs fans and thanks to this cap from her Grandpa Connolly, she can continue the hope for another World Series Championship in her lifetime. 

Until then...

Go, Cubs, Go! Go, Cubs, Go! Hey Chicago, whaddaya say? The Cubs are gonna win today!!

Play ball!

Isla with Grandpa

Isla and another Cubs hat from our friend Victor. He also gave us her first Cubs outfit, which she will grow into a little later in the season.

Happy Easter

Isla got to meet the Easter Bunny yesterday. Well, maybe not the Easter Bunny, but at least one of his relatives. Here's the official picture:


She surprisingly slept through the whole thing. Here's a picture that Tiffany took:


We also attended an Easter Vigil last night. We had the pleasure of seeing our friends Alicia and Adeline Murphy both get baptized in the Catholic Church. Isla performed well during the two and a half hour service, only letting out a few grunts. Adeline also did great, especially considering she was up a few hours past her bedtime. She was very excited to join the church.


Here's a picture of Isla at home after the service:
