Melt my Heart

Sam has one of those personalities that everyone loves. Really, everyone likes him. He's the favorite in nursery and I'm forever getting comments about how cute and sweet he is. He also knows just how to melt his mommy's heart.
The first night in his big boy bed was a rough one. Finally at 6 am I climbed into bed with him hoping that someone would get some sleep. He snuggled up next to me, wrapped his little arm through mine, patted my head and whispered, "Mommy, I love your haircut."
Today this was our conversation with is little head in my lap:
Sam: I gonna get you another present.
Me: What is it?
Sam: A birthday cake.
Me: Oh, I love birthday cakes.
Sam: Yeah. Mommy, you're my best friend.
He's such a doll. I just can't get enough of his cuddles.

Easter Festivities

Happy Easter!
Saturday we hosted a neighborhood breakfast and egg hunt. It was a ton of fun and kids and parents alike enjoyed it. Paul wanted to do it again and again!I spent most of that afternoon in the kitchen making deviled eggs and water chestnuts wrapped in bacon, feeling very much like my mom on holidays. That evening the boys dyed eggs and we had bunny cake. (A childhood tradition).Sunday morning we awoke bright and early for a treasure hunt. The boys were surprised with their simple baskets of goodies. Paul loved his bat and ball and Sam his treats, of course. After church we had a delicious feast with the Gerritsen's. It was a splendid day with lots of sunshine!
Here's some of our photoshoot with my handsome and goofy boys.
