PARTY

…and almost a half.

May 18th marked three years for little man, and he’s just that… a little man.

We celebrated his day with a few of his favorite things: planes, trains, and automobiles. If it has an engine, he’s into it. We stop for every garbage truck sighting, we wave at all the planes, and we get a kick out of driving under the train overpass. Ahhh, the simple joys….

My boy. You’re the best morning snuggler. No one plays drums on pots & pans using the handles of my makeup brushes better than you; Only you could stop me from killing a fly in the house because he’s your “best fwend”; I hope you never grow out of your love for fruit, broccoli, and La Croix; and I’m pretty sure we’ll be packing your stuffed cheetah when we send you off to college (i.e. the most disgusting stuffed animal ever).

You’re everything I didn’t know I needed. <3

Until next time…

A few weeks ago I, along with three other fantastic ladies, had the pleasure of hosting a gender reveal party for one of my closest friends.

For as long as I have known Sonya, she has talked about how she couldn’t wait to one day be a Mom. Her and her husband traveled for work for 7+ years, and as such there was a specific plan lined out for when they would start contemplating having kids. All of us knew about this plan and its timeline, and let me just say that over the past year there have been a few of us that were everything BUT quiet in our impatience for “the announcement”. Thankfully, a couple months ago the glorious news came that Sonya and Arturo are expecting… cue all the girly excited screams (seriously, I’m sure my neighbors heard us).

Now, in the time I’ve known Sonya I’ve also known how much she wants at least her first baby to be a girl. There’s some chuckles had in our group about the “curse” she put on a few of our guy friends and that they are all doomed to have little girls. Up until literally last month, that “curse” had continued to come to fruition (three guys, three daughters). In retaliation, they were casting a similar premonition on Sonya that her first child would be a boy.

We’ll get back to that in a minute…

This is Three

And Baby Makes Three
