PiNk






Last Thursday we endured our first broken bone. Emily jumped out of her swing and fractured her ... elbow/!?!? She has done great and really hasn't complained! She got her cast on Tuesday. Today she walked out of Mary Martin Elementary with this special surprise from her daddy. It surprised me to, because I had not been let in on the secret.
All the girls, little and adults, kept saying how sweet. Then Emily looked at me and said "Now I know why you married him!" And it truth, that is what won me over - I'd never had a boyfriend send me flowers, and he sent them to me every Friday.

Some things just have to be shared! We are all super lucky to have him take care of us!

So these are the average days of a boy! Blaine will be 5 this July, which he is obsessed with! Starting school in the fall. I'm torn about how I feel about that. On one hand I have been a full time stay at home mom for the past almost 8 years. So I am looking forward to having a day filled with something other then scraped knees, Spongebob, and toys galore under my feet. On the other - he is my baby!! What am I going to do with out him home. He fills my days with joy and so much laughter some days and tears others. I can only imagine God's roaring laugh when Blaine explains to me why he doesn't want to wear shorts because his little friend always finds a way out!! Why am I having this conversation? Or when he say he needs the directions for something, but pronounces it without the D!!! And Emily then tells him he doesn't need the irections.... Conversations like these were why I was so worried about having a son. How would I relate to him? But I have to say, he is one of the lights of my world!! God knew I needed him as much as I needed Jamie or Emily! They just complete me!
Days filled with bike rides, hot wheel cars under my feet, my basketball/football/soccer/baseball player are soon to be those I cherish.... Just a new chapter in my life and his about to begin! Look at Mary Martin Elementary..... all I can say is good luck and don't call me unless there is blood involved!!!!

Things I love ....
1. How much I love being a mom to a boy
2. Jessica, not mommy, filled days ahead
3. Ivan Blaine Kapka
