We went to visit Aunt Abby last week at work…I can’t wait until he’s old enough to run the bases! It was a little sunny and hot for him, but we showed him the ENTIRE stadium!
On Home Plate!
He’s safe!

We were lucky enough to have great weather at the lake all weekend. We had lots of visitors, including the Wigodas, Marzouks, Waxs, Burnetts and Frendas! Joey fell asleep so quickly each boat ride-he LOVED the rocking! The dogs drove us crazy the entire time-barking at every firecracker. Although we didn’t get much sleep, we had a great time!

Joey and I stayed home all week to wait for deliveries and workmen. We got a lot accomplished!
Check out Joey in his new rocking chair from Nonny and Poppy (and the adorable Jonathan Adler pillows from his Aunts!)

We found him a mini Lazy Boy…wonder how quickly there will be a row of these in the theater!

Ashley and Mikey came to visit Joey and check out our new home
While we were out celebrating Bubbie Gorgeous’ and Michele’s bday, Pippin had a party of his own. When we got home, we found an empty box of raisins! It really wasn’t Pippin’s fault, as Aunt Lori left them sitting out on the floor for him to get to. We took a late night trip to the animal clinic and they had him get it all up.
Happy Birthday Aunt Michele and Bubbie Gorgeous!
Pip smiling before he knew what he was in for…
The culprit…
This last week has been absolutely insane! On Tuesday (6-21), we moved out of our old place, closed on it, closed on our new place and moved into our new place all within 8 hours. We were EXHAUSTED by the time we went to bed (and really sore the next morning), but we’re thankful everything ran so smooth.
We’ll definitely miss Larrabee (and the view), but it was time to move on…Greg was sick of changing the fancy light bulbs every few weeks and we were definitely in need of more space!
Greg changing his last lightbulb…
We will miss our view…
We can’t believe how much space we have in our new place. I absolutely LOVE how Joey’s nursery turned out…it’s definitely my favorite space. It’s also the only one finished! Maybe one day, I’ll actually let him sleep in there all alone!

We had a great Father’s Day…We started by visiting Nonny and Poppy for brunch in Deerfield. After that, we headed to Northmoor so Greg could play some golf and I could sit by the pool with Joey. Finally, we headed to Twin Orchard for dinner with The Silverman’s. Great day all around…

Joey’s 4 weeks old! If his next few months are anything like his 1st, he’ll continue to have a very busy schedule! Here are a few pictures of Joey spending time with family and friends over the last few weeks.

Amazing sleeper!
Stacy and Michele came to visit Joey at the same time this week. When you put those two in a room together, look what happens…
We sent out Joey’s birth announcements today…I think they came out adorable 🙂
Although it was probably crazy of me to schedule a photo session for Joey at 4 days old, I’m so glad I did it! I know we’ll cherish these photos for years to come! It’s only been 2 weeks since these were taken and Joey already looks so different.
Greg not only gave me Joey, he also made me this beautiful necklace! The creation of the “push present” definitely wins for “best invention of the 21st century” 🙂
My push presents!
Joey and Greg just hanging- 2.5 weeks old
Joey was introduced to the lakehouse on the day of his bris. We think all of the fresh air helped him heal quicker. He lost his belly button during the first weekend at the lake as well. All of the fresh air definitely wiped him out!

He’s just too cool

Although I was extremely nervous for the procedure (I ended up hiding behind Greg when it was “go” time), Joey was a rockstar! He had SO many people come out to meet him and cheer him on. Greg and I felt so loved and we were so excited to share our son with so many family and friends.
Everyone commented on what a beautiful job Cantor David Landau did with the ceremony. We were able to personalize it and include so many family members throughout the ceremony. We also couldn’t believe how nice of an event my mom put together with just a week’s notice.
Abby and Cari’s friend, Sari, made awesome cookies for Joey’s bris. She has her own cookie-making company and they were delic!
Isn’t he adorable??
Joey had a busy first week full of visitors!

Pippin has been absolutely wonderful in welcomng Joey to the family. He was pretty hesitant at first, but Joey has won him over! Now, each time Joey cries, Pip comes and licks his head 🙂
What is this thing??? It took a few days for Pip to get comfortable enough to come near Joey. Now, they’re best friends! When Joey cries, Pip comes and gives him a lick 🙂
