Mother’s Day Fun

I don’t think moms really need an official day to feel “special,” but the sweetness that comes with this day sure is wonderful! 

I joined Seamus at school for the Mother’s Day breakfast, and talk about cuteness overload.  We had juice and pancakes and were presented with special gifts.

A pancake mustache!

All of those flowers in the flowerpot are his fingerprints!  The kids also had to draw a picture of their moms, and they were all hung on the wall for us to guess who was who.  I think the resemblance is striking!  He did give me some hair, it’s just not easy to see!

Grace made me this adorable pussywillow branch – out of marshmallows!  It is the cutest thing ever.  She keeps reminding me not to eat them – it must have suddenly clicked that no food is safe around me!

 

It was a wonderful Mother’s Day…and of course the greatest gift of all is feeling this loved!

 

Nashville Needs Help!

I'm sure all of you have heard about the devastating flood waters that have seeped through Nashville and other parts of Tennessee, killing at least 29 people and damaging beloved and historic parts of the city.

For LPA, Nashville is to be the site of our 2010 National Convention - and this city needs our help!

Please consider visiting this website - Nashvillest - to view the multiple ways you can help out.

Let's all lend a hand so we can get Nashville back on it's feet!

Batter Up!

Thank you all for your kind comments to the prego lady in the last post!  Yes, we will definitely be finding out the gender of the baby, hopefully at the 20 week u/s if the baby cooperates.  What a relief, we’ll finally know whether we’re having a Princess Jasmine or an Aladdin!

In other exciting news, Seamus had his first two t-ball games this past weekend!

Here’s just a few shots of our little all-star in action.

And here’s some video of him getting a hit!  Each player gets to swing at 4 pitches, and if they miss, they they get to try off the tee.  Seamus did so fantastic, he hit off a pitch every time up at bat!  We were so proud of him!

He absolutely loves it – he even “slid” into home base!!  And Mommy has realized she needs a zoom lens for her camera!  Any suggestions??

A Few Things

1. Grace learned to write the words “Mom” and “Pop” recently.

She’s very proud of herself!  At bedtime, I turn the lights off and tuck her in, and she’ll say, “But Mom!  Can I please write Mom and Pop just one more time?” 

Can you really say no to that?

 

2. I must be drunk or delirious right now, because I’m sharing a belly pic.  And no, I’m not six months pregnant…I’m sixteen weeks.  Baby Number 3 shows no mercy.

But enough of that…look at our pretty new couches!

 

3. Guess who has his very first t-ball game this weekend?

Look at the fierceness.  The determination.

I’m a little scared right now.

Look out, Spring Little League…here he comes!

Superhero Sunday

Very fun visit with the Weissers today!

These boys are super silly when we ask them for some “buddy” pictures. 

All four of them played great today and had so much fun together!

Then we got a very special surprise visit from some superheroes!

Wow, lucky us – Batman, Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk and Wolverine all in one place!

We sure didn’t fear for our safety today, we knew these mighty mutants would protect us!

We also got to visit with our friend Julia and her mom and dad, who joined us for dessert!  So glad that everyone finally got to meet. 

We chatted a lot about Nashville!  Our two families will be there from Sunday to Thursday morning.  So far the events that I am most excited about are the Grand Ole Opry, Family Night, and possibly the General Jackson Showboat??  And of course we need to find a place to watch 4th of July fireworks!  We’d love to hear what everyone else has planned, too – it won’t be long now before we’re all in Music City, USA!

An Easter Parade

…of pictures!

It’s April 3rd in Upstate NY…

And we went slip ‘n sliding!!

However, there is no question that it’s still early spring…as evidenced by the two-story high pile of branches and overgrowth that is now adorning our curb!  Looks pretty, doesn’t it?

Beautiful weather, beautiful day…hope it was the same for you!
