Jake,
Our wonderful friends Kate and Matt came to visit last weekend and we had such an awesome time! You remembered them right away and wanted Matt to carry you around all weekend. On Sunday we drove in to the city to meet up with Uncle Jim and Kate's cousin Lisa. You had so much fun! We miss you guys!!! I'm sure that your dad will post more pictures soon but here is a sneak peek.

We love when we get to watch you delight in the world around you. Your abundant curiosity and enthusiasm are contagious. You make me smile and laugh when you insist on reading five bedtime stories, but you make me read them upside-down. You make your dad smile and laugh when you up and demand to be chased from room to room and tickled before bedtime. You remind us how amazing everything around us is by showing us the world through your eyes each day. We are so thankful to have you in our lives. We love you,
Mom and Dad

Tonight you dyed easter eggs. You took to it as if you had been hiding a chicken in your room and an industrial sized tub of yellow number five and practicing for hours on end.

Here is a photo of you and your mom at "Goin Bananas" in Austin. They had a warehouse full of inflated slides, obstacle courses and bouncy rooms - you were in heaven.

Here you are with Matt, whose head has been most unfortunately labatomized by my bad photography.

Here you are a couple of weeks ago in San Antonio with your friends the Reynolds girls: Emily and Maddie. We had a wonderful time reuniting with lots of friends and family in Austin and San Antonio. While we waited in the airplane to depart Hartford for Texas, you excitedly pointed out to every passenger on the plane the many AIRPLANES! that you were able to spot outside the window. Halfway through the trip to Texas, we stopped to change airplanes and your aunt Cathy joined us for the second leg of the journey. You were very happy to see her and you sat in her lap the entire way to Austin. After getting to Texas, you had a wonderful time hanging out with your Nana, Aunt Cathy and Aunt Samantha. The night we arrived, we met Kate and Matt and had our first of several Cheuy's dinners (excellent TexMex). After several fun-filled days in Austin, your Mom drove you to San Antonio, where the two of you spent the day hanging out at her favorite shopping spots while I caught up with co-workers at Rackspace. The best part of the San Antonio trip was probably the night that we took this picture: we met the Holdens, the Bergers, Reynolds, the Kohls and half of the Shettys at Bigz burgers. The kids ran around and played while the parents caught up - it was a perfect San Antonio evening. More soon,
Dad
