One of Brad's fraternity friends from college (the Hoffmans) just had a micro preemie at 28 weeks. Their story is super sweet if you are up for some reading and praying for the best possible outcome. Caution-kind of a tear jerker. I'm kind of obsessed with checking their blog to see baby's progress.

Fun hangover

My house is clean and perfect and back to normal just the way I like it. But it's quiet, too quiet. I wish it was still full of people and friends just like it had been for the past few days. Messy and dirty but happy. I wish friends could come and never leave and the fun would never stop.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day is an interesting day for me. Mostly I like to pretend it's not really a day since I don't have a mom to celebrate with. I might be a little bitter about that deep down. Since I usually try my best to ignore the day in general I sometimes forget I still can remember my mom and all the great moms in my life. I usually try to see the glass half full but Mother's Day is my glass half empty day, probably even tipped over and spilling on the floor day. I guess I need make an effort to turn that around and do something happy to remember my mom. It should be a happy day to appreciate all the wonderful moms I know.
Brad and kids were super sweet year with colorings, drawings, home made cards, cute gifts made at school, and some sweet cowboy boots from the hubby. I got cards and wine from the family. So thanks everyone for thinking of me, when all I was doing was going about a normal day thinking of nothing. I hope all the Mom's in my life had a wonderful day! :)

How deep and how wide is a mother's love?

Endless and immeasurable.

Grammy, thanks for helping us and spending time with us, we'll miss you! Hope you had a good Mother's Day!

So many Papa's so little time......

Kids loving on papa Dean

Sometimes it's just too pretty outside to not grab my camera and snap pictures of the kiddos.

Fun papa Marc visit, we miss you already! :)
