Hanging Out With The Povios

A few weekends ago we got together at Grandma and Granpa Zink's with some of daddy's family. Will's Great Aunt Judy and Great Uncle Ray spent this past winter in FL and they got home a few weekends ago and had never met Will before. Great- Grandpa Povio also had just gotten home from a winter in AZ and had last seen Will when he was 1 day old. Great Aunt Donna and Great Uncle Bruce were there along with second cousins Brian, Rebecca, Claudia, and Lindsey. Lindsey goes to school in FL and got to meet Will for the first time as well that day.

Celebrating Cousin Avery's 1st Birthday!

We had a really fun Memorial Day Weekend. Will's Cousins Rylie and Avery came up to visit for several days with Aunt Robyn, her mom Di Di, and Uncle Jeff. We had a very busy, but fun- filled weekend. Cousins Rylie and Avery got to enjoy the weekly storytime Will goes to at the local library. We celebrated Avery's 1st birthday at Wally World and Will got to enjoy his second pool experience. The weather could not have been more perfect. We also went to the zoo and out for ice cream. We really enjoyed their visit and can't wait to see them at the Jersey Shore in July!

Visit With VA Wallaces

Last Sunday we got to spend several hours with the VA Wallace clan. Will's cousins Erin and Jeffrey celebrated their birthdays earlier this month. They came up to Corning, NY so that Aunt Meghan could see her brother graduate from Alfred last Saturday. On Sunday they invited Grandma and Grandpa Wallace, Bill, Will, and I to come to Corning to spend the day with them at their hotel. The hotel conveniently had an indoor pool which was a huge hit for the kids. Will got to have his first pool experience, which I must say he seemed to enjoy. We spent the afternoon with Uncle Tom, Aunt Meghan, Cousins Erin and Jeffrey, along with Meghan's mom, dad, grandmother, and brother. It was a fun trip and it was great to see all of them. We unfortunately do not get to see them often enough since they live in VA. But we will get to share some beach time with them in July when we all venture to a beach house in NJ. That will be a lot of fun and we can't wait!

Lilac Festival

The Lilac Festival is currently going on this week. We decided to check it out on Saturday, even though we knew it would be super crowded. The main purchase I was interested in was the kettle corn, which happens to be the most popular item to purchase at the festival. Last year we waited about an hour and a half to get some, but since we had Will with us, we decided it was not worth waiting 2+ hours for the kettle corn. I decided to go back today, figuring it would be a lot less crowded being a weekday. It was absolutely gorgeous out; sunny and 72 degrees. I was able to get my bag of kettle corn in 5 minutes. We also took some pictures of Will and the beautiful tulips and lilacs.

Happy Mother's Day

I had a very nice 1st Mothers Day. We went to church in the morning with Grandma and Grandpa Wallace. Then we went to Bristol Harbor for Mother's Day Brunch with Grandma and Grandpa Wallace and Grandpa Zink. We missed Grandma Zink, who was in Arizona with Great- Grandpa Povio. We had a very nice brunch on Canandaigua Lake. Then we came home and relaxed the rest of the afternoon; mommy was even able to get an hour nap in while daddy hung out with Will (since Will was not going to allow us both to take a nap).

Meeting the Hafermalz Family

Today Will and I went to Central Square, NY with Grandma Wallace. Will's Great- Great Aunt Mary passed away last month and today was her funeral. Will got to meet some of Grandma Wallace's family. It was a pretty gloomy day weather- wise, but we had a good time hanging out with Great- Great Aunt Ethel up at camp on Oneida Lake afterwards. Camp is a very special place for Katie and her family, as they spent many times there camping, fishing, and riding in the boat. We hope that there will be lots of special memories there for Will too.

4 Month Checkup

Will had his 4 month doctors appointment today. He is now 12 lbs 13 oz and 25 inches long. He jumped from the 10th percentile to the 25th in weight and from the 10th percentile to the 50th in height. He was a trooper for his shots, although he got a little more upset this time than at his two month visit. We have never seen his face get so red. But within 3-5 minutes he was back to being all smiles again. He got another clean bill of health, and as long as he has no problems, he does not go back to the doctor until his 6 month appointment. He is such a happy baby! When we go in to get him up in the morning and peek into his crib, he usually has a smile from ear to ear. He is cooing and babbling all the time now. The dogs are doing great with him. Sam our cat is still not a huge fan of him, but he is starting to get a little more curious. Where has the last 4 months gone?
