We went to Fort Wayne this past weekend to attend my cousin Mary's graduation party from Bishop Dwenger High School. In case it wasn't already true, I am officially old now. My baby cousin is headed off to college! She is headed to Purdue University and we couldn't be more proud of her. Congratulations, Mary!!!!!!
Will and Sara are the proud owners of a new playset! Thanks go out to daddy, Papa, Uncle Kyle, Gramps and Grandpa Keefer who all had a hand building it. It looks great and Will loves it! I'm sure Sara does too, but she doesn't talk about it as much yet. :-) Will has said more than once "I'm so excited I have a swingset at my house".
This year was my best Mother's Day yet! I will probably say that every year, but it really was. It was my first Mother's Day with Sara, Nate made me breakfast and gave me Will and Sara charms for my necklace, Will made me a card, I got a free sweet tea from Dunkin' Doughnuts and I even got to take a nap. You can't beat that.
I know that Mother's Day is supposed to be a day to honor mothers, which is very important, but this Mother's Day I had an overwhelming feeling of what an honor it was to be a mom to my kiddos. I feel so blessed to have the once in a lifetime opportunity to stay home with them and watch them grow. I appreciate being able to be there to see them smile and laugh and give them hugs when they cry. The time has already gone by so fast. I need to remember that during the difficult moments. :-) Thanks, Nate, for making this possible for our family. xoxo
Sara is 3 months old! She is weighing in at 13 lbs even. She is getting so big and so tall and beginning to interact more each day. She has recently taken to sucking her thumb. We aren't sure if this is a good thing or bad, but we are going with it for now. Her favorite way to sleep is to turn over on her side, suck her left thumb and rub her head with her right hand. It's adorable. :-) In other news... she is sleeping through the night! She gave me the best Mother's Day gift she could by sleeping from 9 pm to 6 am. Thanks, Sara!
Last Friday Nate, his dad and Will had a guys day (few hours) at the track. They got to see Helio Castroneves and others practice. Will had a great time seeing the race cars and he got a race car and t-shirt out of the deal. Thanks, Papa!
