Mother's Day & Father's Day

Mother's Day was 3 days after Tyler was born, right at the start of my Maternity Leave, and Father's Day was the last day of my leave!  I was so excited that Tyler would be joining our family just in time for Mother's Day.

Several times over the last few years we have hosted both of our families for Mother's Day Brunch at our house, and that worked out perfectly this year.  Chris and Becky came over to help Tim get ready since I couldn't do much, they even vacuumed a floor of the house each!  Tim out did himself with the menu, and Jenny brought her sausage balls, one of my favorites, and other treats for us as well.

 

Tim has always been an amazing gift-giver, but I still told him several times that I was expecting a lot out of my first Mother's Day as a mother of two.  He did not disappoint!  I got a beautiful heart-shaped Tiffany's locket, with pictures of my sons already inside!

 

 

Father's Day was the day after Timmy's 3rd Birthday Party.  We had Tim open his presents first thing in the morning.  He has had this RC Truck on his wishlist for awhile, and I thought it would be something fun that Timmy could play with him too, so it seemed like the perfect Father's Day gift.  Little did I know it's actually been on Tim's wishlist since he was a child, and is pretty much the only thing his parents never bought for him, so he was extra excited about it!  Timmy was pretty excited too!

 

 

We spent most of the day at Tim's dad's house visiting with his family and watching baseball.  Afterwards we went to my parents to visit and have dinner.  It was a nice, relaxing day, and I only started to cry 3 times about having to go back to work the next day!
