Double Whammie!

My 31st Birthday fell on Mothers Day this year, two fun celebrations in one day! My boys treated me to a very special weekend filled with time at the spa, a dinner date with Kevin at Bachelor Farmer, lunch in Excelsior and time at the beach park, flowers for my pots, and a wonderful afternoon at the Arboretum. 31 is off to a great start!

My lap is always full and I love it!

Leo meets Henry for the first time...











































Leo stayed with my parents while we were in the hospital. They brought him up to meet his baby brother on Saturday morning. Kevin carried him in while I was holding Henry in bed. Leo was sooo sweet when he saw us and whispered, tiny baby. He was so interested in him and wanted to see his toes, fingers and eyes. He wanted to hold him and kiss and love him right away. It was such a special moment, Kevin and I were both in tears watching our boys meet each other for the first time.
