Bailey & Co.: April & May

It seems this it turning into monthly catch up. Time just seems to be flying by and life is super busy. My graduation weekend was a month ago today and we had a great time celebrating with family and friends in Gainesville and Tampa. It was a special weekend and very surreal! We spent graduation day in Gainesville at a nice reception for my department, graduation, and then dinner at a local favorite, New Deal. Then we spent the weekend in Tampa with family and had fun showing everyone our new stomping grounds. My parents stayed for a week afterwards and played with Jacob while Mark and I worked. At the end of the week they gave us a night away. It was our first since Jacob was born and was chilly (for Florida) and rainy but a nice quiet evening without "Mommy, come get me" at 6:30am. In addition to having the full attention of family for over a week Jacob also got to go to the zoo 3 times that week. He was in heaven!

Otherwise life is busy. Mark works in Gainesville Monday-Thursday while looking for jobs here. Jacob, Bailey and I work and school and play and look forward to Thursday evening when Daddy comes home. I'm enjoying my new job and looking forward to a busy summer with a new group of students in the lab and some fun research projects starting.

The better way to catch up is probably in pictures so prepare for the picture overload below.
