Mother's Day Brunch















It's strange writing about Mother's Day in September, but this day was so special that I had to! Zachary worked so hard to make this day very memorable for me. He was so proud of himself! (so was I). When I arrived at his preschool, there were flowers on the table for me. They weren't just any flowers... they were in a vase Zachary made for me. He painted flowers all over it and in the middle of each flower his little fingerprint. Then his class sang an adorable song about how special Moms are. He served me crackers, cheese, and some fruit. He actually made me a plate and served me! If you look closely behind the kids you will see a bunch of faces the kids drew, they were numbered. While we were drinking our tea Mrs. Fitz (his teacher) read a bunch of hilarious "facts" the kids said about us, then we had to guess which Mom, along with the "facts" we were. It was a lot of fun! At the end of the brunch, Zachary presented me with an awesome necklace he made me out of a bottlecap...his picture inside. I just loved the whole thing. Another memory we made together that I will never forget.

My little heartbreaker











Okay, now I'm on a roll. Two posts in one day! I know a few people that are shocked right now. I couldn't write about my sweet girl without writting about my boy. Zachary is a love. He is definitely a "mommy's boy". Don't get me wrong, he loves his daddy, but he LOVES me. And I love that so much! He is so loving and so funny! He makes everyone laugh. He is also very easygoing. He makes my job too easy. These pictures were also taken on our way to church. While big sis is running around helping me get out the door, Zachary is hanging out with our dog, Chloe. I absolutely love being his mommy!

My sweet girl, Alyssa

I wasn't sure where to begin after not blogging for so long. I decided to go back to May, just about four months ago. I plan on writting as much as possible about our summer, so I thought it appropriate to start at the beginning. This picture of Alyssa was taken on our way to church. We were running a little late, but not Aly. She was dressed, bible in hand, ready to go...and help. She is always the one who is grabbing the water bottles, Zachary's snack, sometimes my purse!! How did I get so lucky?? She is so loving, helpful, beautiful inside and out. She is also the best big sister and is Zachary's best friend. You rarely see one without the other. God has definitely blessed me with this one. I don't know what I'd do without her. I could go on, believe me, but I will stop myself and write more later....promise!

Where does the time go? I can't believe it's been over two months since my last post! We've had a great summer and I can't wait to blog about it.
