Saturday afternoon we attended Bailey's birthday party at The Little Gym. Bailey is another miracle baby... odds were against her being here, and her mother and I had become good friends while walking the infertility road. What a blessing it was for both of us to walk the road of pregnancy together! It was a great time... I think the adults had as much fun as the kids! Jonathan didn't get too into all the stuff since he isn't mobile yet. He did hold on to a small set of parallel bars and took a couple of steps. He also enjoyed bouncing on the inflatable walkway.
After the party, we headed to the park to visit with family - the parentals, the sister and her family, my aunt, and my cousin and her family... there were 15 of us!!! Jonathan took a brief nap in the stroller, but then really enjoyed the swing. I think he would live outside in a swing if he could. We enjoyed dinner together, and then we all came home and crashed.
Sunday, my first Mother's Day, was a joy as well. We gathered at my parents house for lunch - us and about 100 other people... or so it seemed. Mother couldn't stand to know other families would not have special family to celebrate Mother's Day with... so she opened her home to them all. Really it was only like 22 people, but 8 of them were children all 5 and under! It was a good time, and I know my mother's heart was full as we all enjoyed good food and good fellowship. My precious son slept through most of the time... in my parent's closet! That was about the only place left that was quiet enough for him to sleep, and since he isn't mobile I wasn't worried about him getting into something. He slept like a log for almost 2 hours!
Monday, we celebrated 7 years of marriage... amazing how time flies! Sharing about what that means to me is another blog... so I will close for now. It has been a fabulous couple of weeks of being celebrated. What a blessing it is to have family and friends that care so much and to know that love every day.
