It's good to have friends...

There are so many things I need to post about but I just can't seem to find the time.

You've been sick. Nothing serious, just a cold, but this simple cold translates into me getting almost no sleep. Which translates into me being a slug just getting what I have to do done every day to get by. Oh that and 4 Dr's appointments and 1 dentist appointment (for Pierce) in 5 days has been keeping me beyond busy.

Happy to report your about 90% recovered and I believe will soon be 100% back to yourself (and me too!). I just have to tell you, even though you've been feeling just about miserable your always so sweet and easy. Your just about the mellowest babies I've ever known.

Well, except when you poop. Because when you do you will scream till you turn purple and you would think your head might start spinning around and fly off! But once your changed your back to being your sweet easy self.

But being this busy unfortunately also means I as behind on everything else I need to get done including the invitations to Mason's welcome home party.

I really wanted to do it as soon as possible but I thing I'm going to need to postpone it a bit. Just till May 15th. That, I hope, will give me the time I need to catch up.

So, if you can, will you please save the date for the 15th we would absolutely love for you to join us. I sure hope changing the date doesn't inconvenience anyone too much. Thanks for understanding.

There were two major highlights to our week. One was the RMH walk, which I will post about soon, and the other was when my dear friend Becki from Becki Cloud Photography came over to take "newborn" pictures of Mason.

I love them more than I can express. Thank you B for recording these images for me.

There is so much Mason missed out on being in the hospital for the first two months of his life.

Now newborn pictures will no longer be one of them.

Thank you I will treasure them always. I

It's really good to have friends. :)



Oh how I love this sweet face

and tiny toes!

Mason Samuel was named after my sister Lisa who's nickname was Sam.

My sister passed away in July of 2007 from Pancreatic cancer. She was only 47. But when I went to see her for the last time I brought her this bear as a gift from Pierce and she loved it. She held it in her arms even after she was in a coma. After she passed away the bear came back to me. I will always treasure it.

She died about 18 days before Pierce was born so she never got to meet either of my children. I will always regret that. But now at least her memory will be carried on in my Sam and as my mother always says...as long as someone is remembered they will live forever.

This one. This one is my absolute favorite. My boys.

What a lucky lucky woman I am.
