It's Hot Out, Right?

So a friend noticed that I haven't posted in a few days and that's unlike me. Maybe it's because, instead of relaxing this summer so far, I am participating in a class:0 Joey is spending his time with my parents and visiting his new cousin Jay (who is too cute)! Next week he gets to go to VBS-a new experience for both of us...oh wait, I'll still be in class. I love self-selected professional development, but except for the passage of time, I cannot wait for my summer to actually begin. You know (if you're a teacher), no schedule, wake up when the kids feel like waking you up, hanging out at the pool, relaxing...
Oh well, Joey and I will spend our July and August "having summer"!

More T-Ball

Joey's t-ball team is still entertaining us. Joey had 3 hits Saturday at Ayer against the MudDogs. This week Papa Pete, Aunt Michele, Quentin, and Rich Joseph were in town for the fun. Other Joey fans who have attended his games are Grandma Carole, Great-Grandma Janet, Granma Catherine, Grandpa Ronald, Aunt Cindy, and Uncle Jimmy. Joey (and his parents) really appreciate the support everyone has shown.
Joey is excited about his new seat in a new car. Yep, we went to "look" at a car in Indiana--neither Greg nor I can just "look" at something. We came home with a 2004 Explorer and said bye-bye to the Jeep (no tears were shed). We did leave the garage door opener in the Jeep-oops!

Sorry, I'm not the greatest photographer, but the subject is cute!

Say Hey to Jay

Jay "James Joseph" Dorsey (not Jimmy Joe) is too cute! Arriving this morning at 10:15 measuring 20 3/4" and weighing 8lbs. 5 oz., he's a solid baby. Joey loved holding his newest cousin! He marveled at the monkey toes and baby chick hair. Joey wasn't too sure about the belly button stump (who is), but took it in stride. Cindy and Jimmy are proud parents too, a little tired, but happy to have their chief, chester, pick a nickname (but not Jimmy Joe). All things going as they should, the Dorsey's plan to bring TJ's birthday present home on Sunday.

Arrival of Jay

New Baby Alert! Jay Dorsey was born this morning at 10:15. Weighing in at 8lbs. 5oz., this tot was eagerly awaited by his parents after 30+ hours of labor. I am leaving shortly to see the little guy and hope to have pictures!

Where did my toddler go?

Joey is officially a first grader now! As I was driving him to school yesterday, I couldn't help but wonder where the time has gone. Where did my cute toddler go? Where did my pudgy baby go?
The last day of kindergarten was really fun. I'm so glad that I was able to go. Joey was very excited to take bubbles and popsicles to school to share with his friends. He had a great year and loved his teacher!

Cousins

Joey loves his cousins. He has more patience with Sophie than with anyone else in his sphere. He had a great time at Alyson's birthday party, maybe not as much fun as Mark had on the slip and slide...
Life is funny and the world is small. Mark and Lorraine happen to have one of my college friends as a neighbor. Jessie looks just like I remember, and her kids look just like her.
Jay has not made an appearance yet. I guess he is comfortable. Cindy looks great but is definitely ready for this baby to be here! Only 2 more days...
