Mother's Day '11

Back to May.  Mother's Day weekend was a blast and a blur.  We had Justin's last t-ball game on Saturday then trekked on up to Waco for the next 24 hours.

First on the list was Grandma and Grandpa's new pool.  To say we loved it was putting it mildly.  We had a blast.

































It was the first time Derek had been in a pool in awhile.































Lots of throwing the J-man went on that day.





















I was playing around with my 135mm lens that I had just gotten.  Makes me want to use it all the time with the crispness of the photos.
































































Canon ball































Mini-me canon ball































This brings me back to some memories































The fun we had with all the new contraptions on the pool






















Even I had to try out the bells and whistles
































Next up, the new Wii at the house.  We pretty much think Grandma's house is the bomb with the pool and Wii combo.  Justin could play bowling all day long.






















Sunday morning we had the privilege of going to Daniel's Dedication at Antioch.  This was the first time Justin got to be around Daniel due to being sick the previous two times.





















G.G. and G-pa came to visit as well.






















They had a sweet family prayer time where the grandparents went up with a church staff mentor who prayed for the family to have boldness with their son.





















The whole crew





















Before we left we needed a quick game of Foosball in the youth area.






















My parents hosted a brunch at their house afterwards.  Justin got his own little spot next to the rest of us.































After Mother's Day I came home and put little vases of flowers all over the house.  Derek came out of the bathroom and laughingly called me Kathy after washing his hands next to a vase of flowers and leaves.





















Doesn't Daniel look so excited to have a big older cousin?































4 generations of Morby





















Justin and his physical touch love language was getting a little rough for the little guy with his rocking and rubbing of the head.  He's learning how to treat the little one.  Justin truly is sweet with little babies as he always goes to rub their heads gently.






















It's hard to catch a smile on this little face but I got it while his daddy held him.
































Sweet cheeks































Elise and her fam






















Great grandparents and their latest






















It was a treat for both Derek and I to spend Mother's Day with both of our mothers.  Mary Beth and Ryan came over for brunch.































Birdie and Papa





















The Smith clan





















I love this of the three of us.





















All the mommas at the house





















Corrine and her first grandson































Such a treat to spend a quick weekend with so much family.  So thankful in the Lord's grace in expanding our family with Daniel!
