Mother's Day!

Dirk sent me flowers for Mother's Day! They came in a box from UPS. He timed them really well too. His mom was here when they arrived, so she was able to make them look bee-yoo-tee-ful. Then Kecia and Ed came by too, so lots of people got to see how thoughtful Dirk was. There are two dozen spring-colored roses in my bouquet, and I love them.



My other fun Mother's Day surprise was this morning, when Simon actually smiled at me! Simon has smiled at both grandmas, one grandpa, and at least two aunts, but he has not smiled at me. I got three or four really cute smiles from him. What a sweetie! We'll try to get his smiles on camera so Dirk can see them too, but give me a couple days. His smiles are still several days apart, and not very predictable yet.

Happy Mother's Day everyone! I hope you get fun surprises too!

I've been impressed with Dirk's thoughtfulness. It is nice to be able to do nice things long distance. The flowers are beautiful and so is the smile on Melinda's face. The boys are cute and isn't this a great thing to have pictures so available to Dirk despite the miles?
