Snow!

Daddy took you out to wesley's cabin and you got to see snow! You made snowballs and played with aeson and had a great time. He is such a good daddy playing with you in the snow! He loves you and loves playing with you and showing you new things. He sent these pictures to mahmee to show me how much fun you had. I'm just so proud of all you are baby. I love you sonshine.

Michael!

Handsomest boy ever. :)

Mahmee and daddy

Thank you for making us a mahmee and a daddy from two people. :) you gave us life. And we gave you life. Beautiful!

You're 2!

Oh my baby how you've grown. Many times today I nearly cried. I'm so in love with the person you are every day. You're getting opinions and preferences! Its beautiful to see. Even when you're telling me "get out of the chair!" Or "don't tell me that!" Or "noooooo, miiiiiine!" And I have to set you straight I smile because you're learning! Its such a blessings to be able to teach you right from wrong and know that one day you're gonna be this person, caring and kind, charitable and sweet, a perfect gentleman opening doors and pulling out chairs. You're simply beautiful. You have such passion! During christmas you received many gifts and kept saying "thank you! Thank you!" And I even had to hold the basketball gifts from you because you wouldn't have wanted to open anything else. Sure enough you did and before the rest of your presents were opened you ran off to play with your new basketballs.

We got you sports stuff this year! Soccer balls, tennis balls, a new big basketball, paddles and ping pong balls, and a little football. Even little kid golf set. You are gonna love it I know. Baby I'm just elated that I got these last two years with you. I'm so excited for every single day with you baby. 730 days with you has been amazing. Love you! More to post throughout the day as friends and family come see you! Muah love!

Love and a son.

I love you.

Best day.

Family fills me with such joy baby. Nothing makes me happier than having you and my brothers and sisters in one place. Singing and singing. Thanks for being my date today at the eye doctor. :) love you babe. I shopped for your birthday presents today. So excited!

guess what baby?

the best part of me is you.

everything, who i am when im with you is the best me.

i love being your mother.

i was thinking today, no matter what happens with anything, with anybody, there isnt any way i will be unhappy, because i have you.

everything is for you.

i love you.

and i dont deserve you.

you're precious to me, and im so grateful that i can see God's love for me, in the simple fact that he entrusted me with you.

and im going to spend my days earning what he readily gave me.

God is good baby.

you are perfect for me, soul mate : )

Love.

Timbuktoo.

Baby.

I was made to be your mother.

how blessed am i?

lets face it...right now we are poor. but the good kind of poor. the poor where the bills are paid and we are happy. there is end to the lack of fundage in sight.

last night we cuddled and watched toy story 3 (you LOVE it....as does mahmee) and ate pb and honey sammiches.

today is a good example of making the best of things.

i have 12$ in my checking acct. less than 1/4 tank of gas.

and we are out of milk and most foods.

but today i get to make you something we DO have, macaronij and cheese with hot dogs. which, lets be real, we should eat regardless of financial situation.

its day 3 of mahmees 4 days off with you. and im soaking it up. thank you for being beautiful nad perfect.

oh, did i mention i started trying out pullups? yeah, when youre 18 and read this, i bet youll turn bright red or make a joke, but im proud of you. you are such a good kid, and i hate that you have to get bigger at all!

you just approached me wanting to play "baseball", which to you is holding a chopstick while i throw a tennis ball at you.

:)

we're perfect for each other.

now stop climbing all over things and behave!

Best vacation day

Love.

gonna go cuddle you.

i just LOVE that i get to spend all 4 of my vacation days with you.

im so blessed to be your mahmee.

every good thing i do in my quest to better the world, is to try to repay God for letting me be your mahmee.

i love you baby boy.

always, always, always be my soul mate, my baby, my sonshine.

:)

Chucks

You and uncle rad have matching chucks. Had to use it as a photo op. But the only way to get you to take them off....was by giving you mine to walk in. Until you saw rads chucks...then you wanted his :)

Whatever makes you smile soulmate...

Sicky boy...

We stayed a little longer at daddys while you weren't feeling too hot. You love his christmas tree...inspired by our blazers!

This morning

You used both hands on either side of my face and pulled my face in for a kiss. You are sick right now but so handsome. :)

Mahmees photog.

Love you sonshine!

blazers.

youre beautiful. thanks for being you. thanks for being my date to the blazer game.

mahmee wants to take you courtside. when youre older i will, and we will spend lots of blazer time together.

i love you soulmate, i love you.

:)

The first time I built a fire in our house you came out as I was building it. You exclaimed "fire!" Then got a big old grin before adding "gank you mahmee!" You know the "safety zone" because fire is "danger". And you are good to tell me when a toy ends up by the fire so I can get it for you. Such a good good boy. Love you baby.

Scurry blanket.

Here is what you fear. Silly babe.

Fun with uncle.

Even though you have 2 uncles, you call uncle chris simply "uncle".  You're mad at him right now, as he brought a blanket out that you are terrified of. One day you just decided there was a monster in this blanket. And you're fearful. Its so cute. Love you scaredy boy.

Tuckered out.

After no nap yesterday you fell asleep in the crowded arena; even 18000 fans screaming and booing the refs couldn't keep you awake. Don't worry baby, the blazers beat the clippers 100 - 91. :) we got to see your favorite brandon roy, and mahmees favorite joel przybilla back in the rose garden since last december when he hurt his knee. We were all so excited and the usher just loved you to pieces. :)

Blazers...volume 1

5th game of your life baby. Family day celebrating joel przybillas return and daddys birthday and hanukkah all at once! We had a blast!

Not a morning person...

Cute little guy. You sleep still sometimes like you did in my belly. Its cute. I have ultrasounds of you curled up like this (not like you had a choice). But it makes me smile :)

Judith and daddy

Walking with daddee. Mahmee was silly and forgot a jacket for you. But you wanted to runnnn. We played my version of "I spy" and I asked you to find the cars by color and you did SO well. We had a good family lunch. Now onto mahmees house before daddee and mahmee surprise you with a blazer game!
