Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day yesterday and had wonderful weather like we did here in Boston!� Yesterday, James, Emmett and I met James' brother, Shawn and his wife, Sara (and fetal Baby K) for a picnic in Boston's Public Garden.� It was a pretty warm day, but we got a nice shady spot under a tree and ate yummy shrimp cocktail, crackers and sandwiches, played some frisbee and enjoyed the beautiful day off.

Yup - it was my very first Mother's Day last Sunday.� Pretty cool.� James served me breakfast in bed, and then the three of us headed to James' brother, Shawn's place in Carlisle for a barbecue with him, his wife Sara and James' parents.

There were actually three mothers in attendance.� That's right! I realized I never officially announced that James' sister-in-law, Sara is pregnant with a baby Klingener!� Now Emmett will have not one, but two male cousins also born in 2009.� Sara is due in September, and we all can't wait to meet Baby K!

I'm not going to lie, it was a little weird to be on the receiving end of Mother's Day this year, but it's something I can definitely get used to.� And I'm really looking forward to future Mother's Days when Emmett will actually understand what's going on.

It's official - as far as the medical people can tell, Adrienne and Mac's little Nutter butter is apparently blue-flavored.� It looks like Team Gus (as opposed to Team Fiona) is the victor.� Emmett's very first cousin is going to make a great little playmate at family events.� I'm pretty sure if Em were old enough to understand that there was going to be another little boy his age in the family, he'd be thrilled.

Congrats, Mac and A!� We can't wait to meet him!
