Play doh at Momo's

We came to visit my family for a night. I brought things to do and they wanted to do play doh So,we ate some fresh, hot tortillas and then got the play doh out.
She told them how she used to make homemade play doh for my brother and I.

Dylan kept licking his and Momo was getting mad!

Drew was making coconuts.

6!

Drew Richard is 6 years old. This year's birthday marks the exact anniversary/timeline of his premature birth.

It was the Friday that spring break started 6 years ago, when I went to my dr not feeling well.....

and you know the rest. VERY scary and forever etched in my brain.

Although I didn't see him the first 48 hours, since I was almost comatose, I remember all the rest of it like it was yesterday.

We spent all this weekend partying and being thankful.

He had his friends party friday night and then we had family over on saturday night.

He got a puppy (Dan) as an early gift.

I love so many things about Drew. Here are just some of them:

his compassion towards others
his intense care of the environment
how he still kisses me goodbye at school
how I'm still the only one who can comfort him
how he speaks his mind
how he already knows the difference between a friend and a foe
how he recites lines from his favorite movies
how he writes his name
that he's reading and very proud of himself
how much he loves school (thanks Mrs. Hickman!)
how he never wants to disappoint us
how he takes care of his pup
that he doesn't care how I dress him (within limits!)
that he still likes to cuddle
that he can lose in a game and not throw a fit
that he's truly greatful when he receives gifts
that he's playing baseball now
that he talks about my Dad sometimes
how sometimes he can be so sweet to Dylan
that he likes to bargain with us

I can't believe that it's already been 6 years!

Happy Birthday my love. Mommy loves you!

Local expo

We headed out to our local parks and recreation fair/expo today. They advertised it as an earth fair, so we went. We got reusable bags, planted some seeds, got some free plants.
Also, we hung out on a fire truck for quite a while!

Here's Dylan "driving" the fire truck. The fireman turned on the sirens and lights--oh my, they loved that! We also talked to some police officers.
Home Depot was there and were running a kids workshop. The boys each got an official home depot apron with their names! Drew built a battery holder and Dylan built a car!
