My First Mother's Day

So apparently daddy and Blake had been working behind the scenes for a few weeks, perfecting this surprise for mommy.  They casually revealed it after I came home from work on May 9th.  ("Hey, come look at this . . .")

Talk about the best Mother's Day gift EVER!

And as if that wasn't enough (I guess Ral couldn't guarantee Blake's timing), on Saturday I got these crazy awesome flowers (hand selected by my most favorite two boys) and on Sunday I was surprised again as Daddy took traced prints of Blake's hands into our local DQ, and (with Blake's approval) they made this.  I couldn't think of anything sweeter.  Literally.  I cried.

 I am SO blessed!  Thank you, Raleigh and Blake, for making my first Mother's Day so special!

B is for...

Of the 26 foam letters he could choose from, this was the one he grabbed to hold during bath time. Appropriate choice, don't you think? "B" is for Blake and bubbles and bath and boy and baby and BRILLIANT . . .
