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!

Breakfast with a 2 year old...

Me: No, we are not watching TV
Leo: I want fruit snacks
Me: No, we are having breakfast food, do you want cereal?
Leo: I want a Bagel
Me: Ok, sit in your seat
Leo: No I don't want to sit, I want to stand in my seat
Me: Here is your bagel, sit in your seat
Leo: I want cereal
Me: What kind?
Leo: Mama choose
Me: Here are some cheerios
Leo: I want crispix
Me: Here are your crispix
Leo: I like cheerios better
Leo: Can I watch cars yet?
Me: Sigh...

Quick picture update...

We've had a busy, blissful and blessed holiday season! I've taken a ton of pictures but haven't had the energy to download most of them... here are a few from the past month!

Hospital Visitors

Our family visited us while we were in the hospital to meet baby Henry!

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.

Welcome to the World Baby Henry!!!

We are now a family of 4! Henry John Allen arrived on October 14th at 1:03pm weighing 8 pounds 2 oz. He is a perfect addition to our family and we love him more than words can express.
