First Mother's Day and Cassie's First Communion


This weekend was my first Mother's Day! Sean started the day of great by giving me a beautiful Celtic knot necklace, and an old map of Ireland. He also made the yummiest chocolate chip pancakes with slided strawberries and whip cream! Is he a catch or what? To celebrate, we went to Old Sturbridge Village for the day. We had a great time playing with my new camera, and enjoying the beauty of the farm! We liked it so much we decided to get a membership! I can't wait to go back!

Mommy and Lily Playing in the grass:


Sean and Lily in the graveyard pretending to see a ghost. Funny thing is, this is a recreated graveyard. Those are fake tombstones!!


Lily and Daddy playing in the grass with a flower:

Sitting pretty:
This lake was beautiful!

Make way for ducklings!
We saw this family of duck grazing in a nearby field, then the all crossed the road together and swam away with the current! They were so sweet!

Over the weekend we also visited with my family to celebrate my cousin Cassie's first communion. We had a very nice time seeing all the family, and Lily loved all the attention! Here are a few of the pictures we took during Cassie's party:
This is the ONLY picture I got of Cassie in her pretty dress: Isn't she cute?

My Mom with Lily, who's feeding herself a cracker!

My Aunt Mary-Lou soothed Lily into the only good nap she had that day:

Aunt Eileen ( Cassie's Mom) and Lily. Doesn't she look fantastic!?

Uncle Johny (Cassie's Daddy) with Lily:


In other Lily news, she cut her 5th tooth last night. She has a low fever today, probably caused by the teeth (though I have a low fever today as well, so who knows! I hope we didn't pick up a cold this weekend!) She's acting like her normal playful self though, so I'm not worried. She's worked really hard over the weekend at standing without using anything to pull up, and now has the muscle strength to stand where ever and whenever she wants! She'll just stand up randomly in the middle of the living room every now and then, then sit back down. It didn't take her long to perfect that skill! She still prefers to use something to pull herself up, and keep her steady though.
Have a good week everyone!
