I am blessed to have the most wonderful husband and little boy in the world. After awaking yesterday morning I had strict orders to stay in the bedroom while Carson and him 'worked on something.' While getting ready, I continued to hear Carson scream 'Happy Day Mama!' I came downstairs to flowers, Carson again, screaming 'Happy Day Mama,' and the most amazing meal (Jon has hidden talents that I have been unaware of). He cooked me French Toast w/mascarpone cheese and homemade cinnamon syrup. Amazing! Love, I cannot thank you enough. I am crazy about you!

The amazing meal Jon and Carson made.
Yes...it was good...can you tell?
After church we were able to spend time with the Smith family. The men cooked us moms and mom to be a wonderful meal full of our favorites (thank you uncle Davie for the best grilled asparagus I have ever had). There was much laughter and many memories made.
The Smith men in the kitchen cooking for the mothers and mother- to be!!!
I had to post progress on the most recent addition to the Smith family...Carson's new cousin. Here is proud Aunite Alice and baby Smith to be!
Carson's favorite part of the whole night was bath time with Jovi and Asher. The pups loved playing with the water that Carson eagerly provided.
My only disappointment was that I could not be in two places at once. I was not able to celebrate this very special day with the one who means the most...my dear mother. Mom, I love you so much and am so thankful for the MANY ways that you sacrificially loved and cared for Kristiina and I over the years. I LOVE YOU!
We just returned this past week from a trip to the beach. It was wonderful! Poppi and Nana (Jon's parents) were able to join us for three days which was such a blessing. Carson was able to play all day at the beach, Jon was able to go surfing (the water was way too cold for me) and we all were able to relax and spend much quality time together as a family. Here are some pictures of our time away:
My parents, sister and my nephew Bobby were in town this past week. They were able to see the new house and spend time with us. Dad worked on the lawn and fixed the few thing that needed fixing (thank you so much Papa). Mom and Kristiina were able to go to Ikea one day and we all headed to the Airpark Cafe for breakfast (which both boys seemed to enjoy). We all enjoyed our time together, even though Carson had the most difficult time 'not being the only grandchild.' Between the tantrums and 'not sharing,' we had a good time. Thank you Papa,Mimmi and Auntie K for coming to be with us. We love you dearly and can't wait for vacation in the summer.
