And finally Nathan came and announced his name and jumped off the stairs onto the stage.
Nathan was my little flower and sang lovely songs to me. Of course, all of us moms in the room had eyes full of tears!
Then we shared a snack...
...and I was given a precious gift. Nathan's was quite unique as his had all blue buttons (his favorite color) and were lined up precisely (all the other kids had buttons everywhere), which shows his personality. I just love it.
Before brunch on Sunday, I attempted to take pictures of the boys to give as a present for the Nanas. I have a new camera, so of course, I could do it by myself. Ha, ha...now I know why professional photographers are needed...the boys wanted nothing to do with posing for a photo. And Nathan wanted to "choke" Nicholas every time I had them get together. So here is what I came out with and I decided I'm just going to have to keep trying...
And finally, the best mother's day gift I received a new toy for the boys. Yes, another ride on toy. But this one has seat belts, which allows the boys to drive together around the neighborhood. And the joy they have on it is priceless!! (Plus, Nathan earned part of the cost while modeling at fisher price...the toy is supposed to come out in August with him on the box!)
Oh, and it snowed on Mother's Day...SNOW! But we had so much fun and I'm so blessed to be a mom to these wonderful little boys!!
Hi Kristie-
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for introducing yourself and saying hello! It means a lot to me, and I'm really grateful for the internet these days, because otherwise I'm not sure how I would ever meet other moms who have been in my shoes! Your boys are adorable and I'm loving reading about what everyday life is like for all of you!
And I don't think I said this in my blog, but I am REALLY happy that my little Elijah is latching on to breastfeed (I was really worried that he wouldn't be able to do it). After he was born he was in the NICU for a week with a transitional issue, so it was all pump all the time that first week. No fun! (I'm still pumping and squirrelling away as much milk as possible. It is falling out of the freezer everytime my hubby opens it up, which makes for a pretty funny scene.) :)
