We miss you, Aunty Karen

It's been so hard to get this most recent post out the door. Every single day I want to update you with happiness and joy and things like stories of Mother's Day. But things have been tough this month. Those of you who are close to our family know that we recently lost a special member of The Daily Bailey family. Aunty Karen, frequent reader and commenter passed away a few weeks ago at the age of 62. We miss her so much and know she is happy in Heaven. I didn't want to post anything until I addressed this. But it's just been too difficult to discuss. What I do know is that Aunty Karen would not want me to stop doing the blog on account of her. So here we go. The Daily Bailey is back and better than ever.



While the circumstances were unfortunate and terribly sad, it did give us the chance to spend some more time with Kristin's side of the family. Even Andrea took a break from her fast and furious West Coast lifestyle and had some time to hang out with her Goddaughter.



Since we were all in a state of mourning, I figured now would be as good a time as any to introduce Bailey to the art of drowning your sorrows in booze...responsibly, of course.

Mommy took Bailey to the beach while Daddy had yet another phone interview.

Here's a picture of Grampy Barrett and Bailey Wonder playing the piano on a sunny day.

Mommy and Miss B at Paul's Pizza in Falmouth. This is where we got our first dirty look by a grumpy old hag who didn't think Miss Bailey Regan was in fact, the cutest baby ever. I mean, come on. Sure, the kid is screaming at the top of her lungs while you're trying to eat. But this is a really cute kid we're talking about.

Case and point...

After such a great trip to the Cape, Bailey wasn't too thrilled to get back in the car for the ride home.

A rare shot including Daddy.

OK, that's it for today. I'll try to get back in the swing of things and post more frequently.
