Spring as sprung!!! And it feels a lot like summer! We have been busy doing lots of warm weather things: trips to the zoo, water play, cookouts and more!
Mommy and daddy goose with their gaggle of goslings. Try saying that 3 times fast!

Happy Mother's Day! Mother's Day cookout at my mom's house.
That monster truck was just itching to get in the mud. Thanks to Nico he could!!!
Oh. Yes. The cicadas. Yuck. That's all I have to say.
Cheekwood Botanical Gardens has an awesome exhibit on display. They have a train track and town made out of sticks and other garden things. There are like 20 miniature TN landmarks dotted along the course. One of the kids' favorites was a little ladybug car that drove around the track itself. It would periodically make an appearance in this little porthole.

I love these little moments. Stopping and watching instead of interrupting by asking, "Wha cha doing?" Just watching him be him. Wonderful him. I am taking in all of these moments. I'm soaking up all of the I love you mommy's. I am ecstatic about the curiosity that comes with this age. As each month passes by with no positive pregnancy test (almost 2 years) I am a little more heartbroken because I may never see this stage again as a mommy. We are not giving up by any means, it just puts things in perspective. In a weird way I'm grateful because it has made me really cherish this boy (even more than I already did!).
