Why spring is my favorite... part II & Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I am so glad that we get to spend this week with both our Mommies! Last night Bluejay played baseball for the Isanti Redbirds (pics to come). Since we are up by his mom's house, we stayed the night and are celebrating Mother's day with her. It's a beautiful sunny day full of all the wonderfully relaxing laziness that holidays entail. My mom comes in from CA on thursday and I am SO excited! I haven't seen her since Christmas! Since my parents moved away last summer, this is our first mother's day apart and I have been thinking a lot about how much I love her and am so thankful for they way she and my dad raised me. They showed me that Jesus is most important! Mom- I can't wait for coffee dates, and laughing hysterically at our silly inside jokes, and snuggling while watching old movies. You are and always have been more of a buddy than anything! Thursday can't come soon enough! Happy Mommy's day!

Why Spring is my favorite...

Sunday Afternoon

Bluejay and I had a lovely sunday afternoon. This morning, Bluejay spoke in the sunday school class for the College Students at our church. I was SO nervous for him! He wasn't at all. I think I was nervous enough for the both of us. We took a personality test this week that told me that I "feel" the emotions of those around me. I'm basically an emotional sponge. I soak up all the feelings and become so saturated that I feel them myself. Hence the nerves. This afternoon, I forced Bluejay in the backyard to commemorate his first "talk" in photos. I was so proud. I'll be an annoying mama someday. But at least I'll have a million photo memories! In order to "get back at me", Bluejay took photos of me too. Wanna see? Hope your sunday afternoon is going well. We're enjoying some Caribou Coffee by the fire and flirting and holding hands and making everyone around us nauseous. It's a perfect sunday afternoon!
