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!

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 ...

One Month

By Michaelinz
Our little man has already grown so much. It's hard to believe that he is one month old already. We have watched our son grow to experience so much already. Cooper is beginning to track with his eyes, following his mommy and daddy. We do love how Cooper just stares at us, learning our every last feature, learning how to mimic a smile, raise an eye brow or pucker up for a kiss. Mommy can't wait for her little guy to kiss her back and Daddy cannot wait for Cooper to captivate him with a stunning smile (while he's awake that is). We have been amazed since day one at this little guy's strength. He has been able to lift his head off our chest and hover there for awhile. He will now push himself with his legs to a standing position when you hold him and position his feet on the ground. We keep telling him that he is a hockey player in the making, so I suppose he knows that strength is a good thing! Cooper's one month check up came upon us much too quickly. Little did I ...
