Mother's Day: A Whole New Meaning!

By Michaelinz
A Mother's Love Fills the Air... Today... And Everyday!

It's Sunday morning, I wake up excited because today the family gathers together at our house for Mother's Day. Nothing makes me more happy than having the family under one roof. The last time the family was together at our house was the day we announced we are pregnant.

Mother's Day is a day dedicated to mothers all around the world—a time to celebrate a mother's loving heart, her tender touch, her ability to always say the right thing, and her amazing know how (a mother knows everything). Michael and I our blessed to be surrounded by the most magnificent mothers. I'm excited to say that I have BIG shoes to fill... I have a mother and a mother-in-law who are super heroes; although, I know that with the support of each of these wonderful, brilliant women, I will be the next generation super-hero mom. I have learned that LOVE conquers all and PATIENCE is key. Michael and I thank our wonderful moms. We love you dearly.

The family arrived about 11:00 Sunday morning for a delectable brunch. We baked and served egg casseroles and quiches for everyone with a side of fruit and a cinnamon roll for those with a sweet tooth. We sat around the table and the moms shared stories of their pregnancies. It was so lovely to hear these stories, the stories presented us with laughable moments and moments that warmed our hearts. After we finished eating, we passed out gifts. My bodied tingled when gifts poured in for me, the mom-to-be. Maternity clothes, baby toys and a shadow box filled with new memories for Baby's room. I have the most thoughtful family around. Thanks for being wonderful mothers and making my first Mother's Day so joyful.

After everyone left, the doorbell rang—a flower delivery. I opened the card and I read the most beautiful words. The best gift Michael could have given me on this special day was a gift from our little loved one. I have the world's BEST husband, so thoughtful and kind. Baby: you're lucky to have him in your life—you'll learn amazing life lessons from him.

I love you Michael Ryan!







A quote I find to be very inspiring and so true. Thanks Ms. Morrison for your invigorating words of wisdom!

We're Walking

By Michaelinz
Winter break has been so much fun this year with a little one WALKING all around. Yup, you heard it. Cooper is walking tall and proud with great confidence. He picked this up so quickly. He is always so proud of himself after taking some long and graceful strides. He claps for himself and grins the happiest smile.  Mommy and Daddy could not be more proud of his hard work and determination to want to do so well. He doesn't give up, he just gets up and tries again and again. Now, we ask, what are we in for, and will we be able to keep up?

Many Firsts While Camping

By Michaelinz
Undoubtedly, this is a camping trip that will go down in the books. Each day was packed with many fun and adventurous experiences.  After two days of packing the camper (you kids need a lot of extra "stuff"), we pulled out of our driveway and almost 8 hours later we finally arrived at Ridewau State Park. The drive down had some awesome moments and some other moments filled with tears. This was a long drive for both Rea and Cooper. This was the first long drive yet. Here in another couple of weeks we will be taking a much longer drive, this shall be interesting.  We met Grammy and Papa at the campground, they were thrilled to see the babes because they've been out of town for the past two weeks. More importantly, our little darlings were even more thrilled to see the wonderful Grammy and fun Papa. Together, we spent our days fishing at the upper and lower ponds. Cooper entered into his very first fishing derby where he won a certificate for the youngest boy who caught the ...

A Dad is...

By Michaelinz
Facebook is great for many reasons... Today, I read on someone's post, a quote, and it made my heart flutter for two reasons. My dad was my first love, and my hero — and now Michael is my love and also a strong hero in my world. Now, these two men will forever make their own imprint on Baby's life and world. Baby has many great men in his/her life, what a lucky Baby! "A dad is a son's first hero and a daughter's first love." - Michael is so much more, but I think these words are very moving, they made an impact on my heart and me. Michael is a hero to more people than he truly realizes. He makes his own imprint on family's and friend's hearts. We spent the day at Grandma's house as she continues to recover and rest from her ailments. We helped clean out her kitchen pantry and then cooked dinner. Again, we gather around the table and share wonderful stories—how I love and cherish these moments. Michael sits next to me and rubs my hand and h...
