One year ago today...

I was blessed enough to become a mommy of two precious angels.You entered this world with a scream at 7:43am and have made your presence known ever since.Poor Dr. Fisch could barely hold you because you were trying to stand up!Your sweet sister waited and waited for you to arrive and she has been in love with you ever since.Family of four on your arrival day Time for you 12month photos...

At 12months you eat just about anything. You love all fruits and veggies and want to eat what we are eating. You've been walking now for over 2 months...so I guess you are officially running. You are into everything and very curious as to how everything works. You like to copy/mimic everything we do. You know lots of words and try to repeat just about everything. You are in love with your sister, and will be lost when she goes to kindergarten in the fall. You are all boy and I am going to have my hands full with you! Such a gift you are and I am amazed by your wit and sweet personality every day.

Happy Birthday to you!
Mimi made special blueberry muffins for you.

School's out for the Summer!

Not much else to say! So glad summer is here and so looking forward to being lazy, having fun and not rushing around. Here are just some new pictures of my bugs.

Watch out Kindergarten here comes Ava Morrow!

This month, sweet Ava girl graduated from 4yr preschool and will be heading to kindergarten come early August. The 4yr olds had a wonderful program, full of wonderful songs (complete with sign language and dancing), great speaking parts and a wonderful video recaping their year at SMPK. What a great way to wrap up the school year.

Trouble waiting for the program to begin. He actually sat through the whole program, courtesy of Mimi and her magic O's.

Ava had a very important speaking part during the ceremony. She did a wonderful job, and was precious!

Mother's Day Festivities

Wow, my first "official" mother's day of two! I am blessed beyond words that God thought I was worthy enough to be a mom to these amazing miracles. It's all (and more) that I ever imagined it to be. I couldn't love anything more than I love these two and I am so lucky to be their mommy.

The mother's day weekend started off on Friday with our Muffins for Mom. Don't you love the beautiful hat Ava made...it was perfect for our tea party.I've had plans for months to go to Mary Poppins at the Fox with friends. However, when two of my friends suddenly weren't able to go, I took my sweet Ava instead. We had a wonderful day with Jennifer and Carla and I know it was something she will always remember. Perfect timing too that it fell over Mother's Day weekend, and so special it was just us girls.Working on our projects...had to wait for Nick to get home as I definitely needed an extra set of hands for this one. Like how it's in his mouth. I had to use acrylic paint for the type of project I did...it's still underneath his toenails.

On Sunday, we decided just to have lunch at our house with family. It was the perfect spring day and we had the best time playing and spending time together.

Hollywood in her new shades Just a walkin...I think he walked around the whole yard about a dozen times that day.

This picture just makes me laugh...typical boy terrorizing typical dramatic girl. I LOVE THEM!
Just a few of my family favorites. It wouldn't be a get together if we didn't have several of these.
