A Girl Could Get Used To This

For the 3rd time in the last 6 months I got to visit with my bestest friend. Her recent move giving us a closer proximity is working out quite well. We had a great day Friday. Just us. Shopping, sushi, ice-cream and catching up. Saturday evening was reserved for the rest of the family.

My kids just love her.  

 Dane caught a fish.

 

Most special. Ellen got to stay and read Dane his bedtime story.

Really looking forward to our next visit in August where we will visit her and Kirk at their new home in Pittsburgh!

Awww

Kitty is doing quite well. I think when the hair grows back it won't look half bad.

Pretty Lucky Really

 Lunch at The Peterson's last weekend.

I happen to really enjoy my husbands side of the family. I know that's not always the case for the  "in-laws".  Mine happen to be really pretty cool.

Breanna's baby. Hollis. He's getting quite big. Dane just loves him. For a boy Dane is so nuturing. He loves holding and kissing babies. With Olive he is still that way. Loving and protective. I hope it continues for a long time. 

Suddenly

Brad took Dane to get his haircut last weekend. He gets it cut just like his dad. A tight little fade and it's adorable but when he came home he suddenly looked to much more grown up.

Such a handsome little devil. 

I'm starting to realize that while raising a boy is fantastically fun it can also be a bit depressing. Several months ago he confessed his love to another girl in preschool. While very cute and funny I had to fight the urge to cry. I'm felt jealous. How pathetic. I'm suppose to be the love of his life. I know I still am.....for now. Then I started thinking about how I will feel when he really does love someone else. Oh my gosh,  When he marries someone?! I will be one of those crazy mothers. Crying uncontrollably. 

Well. Enough of that. He's mine for now.
