Camping

This weekend, the Bailey family went on a camping adventure. It was lots of work, but lots of fun & Zoe loved it (especially the s'mores).

Mariska Hargitay Andy

Friday evening, we helped Uncle Andy celebrate his 40th birthday with a barbeque, cake & a trip for the adults to see the "Love Guru"...

Lady at Cold Stone Creamery

Lady: "When are you due?"

Me: "August 1st."

Lady: "My daughter & I saw you from behind & couldn't even tell you were pregnant until you turned around. Good luck with everything."

Me: "Thanks so much."

Me (thinking): "Well, now that definitely makes it okay to get the "Gotta-Have-It" size ice-cream. Yeah, for me!".

Missing Zoe?

Zoe spent the week with her cousins in Columbus & I found Tinky sleeping her room at one point...

A new friend?

Tony's Dad came up this week & helped out with our basement project.

Much to all of our amazement, Tinky spent some time on his lap (maybe Tink is looking for a new home? One can only hope.)

Happy Father's Day!

Kayli & Ashley's Piano Recital

This evening we listened to Kayli & Ashley piano recital. Zoe had a good time dancing to the music.

End of Year School Picnic

Today Zoe had her end of year school picnic. She had a good time seeing her friends (especially Gregory), but doesn't quite understand that school is done for the summer...

Congratulations Matt!

Silver Beach

Sunday morning, we ventured to the Silver Beach on Lake Michigan. The water was too cold to swim, but Zoe had lots of fun chasing seagulls and playing in the sand...

The Messners come for a visit this week.
Even though the weather wasn't the best, the kids had a fun time playing together...

Guy at the Park

Guy: "When are you due?"

Me: "August 1st."

Guy: "Congrats. My wife and I are trying with In Vitro."

Me (after awkward pause): "Well, good luck."

Was I supposed to recipitate with our "conception story" or perhaps some advice?

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day, Tony made me beignets for breakfast, hamburgers & fries for lunch & creme brulee for dessert.

Planting the Garden

It was very nice outside today, so Daddy & Zoe planted our vegetable garden...

Happy Birthday Tony!

Grandma & Poppa Bailey helped us celebrate Daddy's birthday...

Lady in Lobby of Hotel

Lady: "When are you due?"

Me: "August 1st."

Lady, looking very pointedly at my belly: "Just one?"

Me:"Yes, just one."

I am not sure what it is about being pregnant that invites comments such as these... I mean if I were just fat, she would never call me fat, so why can she when I am pregnant?

With this ring...

This weekend we helped Amanda & Jason celebrate their wedding...

Go Mommy!

This evening, Zoe went for a walk with Miss Susan, so Tony & I decided to play Gin. Upon returning home, Zoe asked who was winning. I told her that Daddy was.

Zoe replied: "Keep trying, Mommy! Be strong! Never give up!"

OSU Spring Game

Well, we traded a little rain for free parking & free tickets to the game, but the girls all had a great time...

In front of the stadium...

Umbrella envy...

Quote of the Day

Zoe: "Can I paint on my princess thing?"

Mommy: "What princess thing?" (Only about 99.9% of her "things" are princess things...)

Zoe: "The princess thing that you paint on!" (Did you hear it? The silent DumbA**?)

Answer: "Wow, those look huge!"

Question: What should you not say about the bottom of the maternity swimsuit that your wife is showing you?

"It's raining...

...it's boring..."

These were Zoe's words as she played with her umbrella inside today. Do you think she is trying to tell me something?
