Mother’s Day

the goofy kiddos who made me a mama.

We celebrated the day with church, lunch with our special guest, Adalynn, and a wiener roast at my grandparents that included rides in the little car, which we drove as little girls up and down the runway and lane as often as we could!  We snuck in a little front porch swinging too.

Celebrating the Removal of the Cast!

B’s only request after his cast was removed was to go to the hospital to hold Adalynn.  Wish granted! He is now an old pro at holding her.

Delivered by the You Pay Us Man

Brody has always called the UPS Man, the You Pay Us Man.  When I told them that Aunt Katy was at the hospital and going to have a baby, Brody wanted to know if Dr. Dave was her doctor.  I briefly explained that a different doctor would deliver the baby.  His next question was something along the lines of – “The baby will come in box from the You Pay Us Man?”  Why yes, dear sweet son, that is where babies come from!

I don't need you, mom!

Riley told me he could get himself into Julia's today without me and he did.  But, what he didn't realize was the fact that I needed to hold his hand and walk him in and get that one last hug to get me through until after work.  

The Cast is OFF!

Brody pointed out all the names he for sure wanted documented in the form of a picture. GO CUBS was his first priority!  After taking it easy through Saturday, he is now back to doing what five year olds do best.  And now we have a stinky cast to glue together so we can display it.
