andrew, nana and grandma v giving some love....



blaine's obsessive love for his fishing pole....finally convinced him he couldn't sleep with it that night, lol....


So yes, what a horrible/wonderful day! From baby to toddler, from toddler to little boy....where has the time gone? I was looking at him today thinking that he actually looks a year older than he did yesterday. I know that's silly....but it really seemed that way. He and we had a great time, can't wait to see what next year brings!

just a few funny things....

Yesterday, whilst getting ready for Blaine's upcoming birthday bash, I was cleaning the bathrooms. So I'm cleaning along, humming to myself and I realize that I'm happy. Happy cleaning a bathroom!!! Crazy or what? There's something about picking up/scrubbing down that I just love! Anyway, I thought that was weird and that you would like to know :).

Next item; I was taking my nephew Clark to school, pulling him and Blaine along in our little red wagon and it was about 45 degrees out. So I'm walking along, humming to myself and I realize that I'm happy. Happy walking the kids to school! Blaine's so stoked that even though it's not his class, he's put on his backpack too. And when I dropped Clark off my own little guy decided he was going to stay and started making himself comfortable. To get him back in the wagon, I had to bribe him with birthday ideas like "Let's go make decorations for the party!".

So we're busy putting things together, cooking, cleaning and Blaine will randomly bear-hug me and says "thank you"....he's just so happy he's turning 4. And I realize that.......I'm happy!
