The Long family arrived late on Friday night so we didn’t even tell our kids they were coming and put them to bed at their normal time. When they woke up Saturday morning they were treated to such a surprise!!! We heard the shrieks and screams and piano playing (!!!) starting around 6:00 am (and I’m pretty sure the adults went to bed around 1:30 am, so you can imagine how welcome those sounds were).
I said yes to sweets from the ice cream truck because I wanted a picture of them. This is the only one I could recover from my defective memory card (which is why there has been a delay in blog posts). Do I wish they were all a little more put together for this picture? Nope. Not even a little bit. This to me, is perfection.
Kate is right these are great. My pattern is to look every night before bed. When Sheehan and Jamie have their kids they will look at this because it is such an affirmation of motherhood- both the hard and easy parts.
I am sooo sorry I have missed these. Tory says its why she even looks at Facebook !! Thanks for sharing Danielle. You’re a great mother and other things too!
