what a week...- SURPRISE

My work week was a long one... had 33 hours in 3 days..... I was blessed to meet the VP of HD and it was an AMAZING walk (that was Wed.) .... I had a hiring event also on Tuesday...here is the apron we had made for the VP...

I got the pleasure of handing it to him ... and he had me explain it...lol
Then on Tuesday night my Mother asked if I would like company... I have been trying to see if I could get her out here to see her Great-Grandson... so on Thursday evening I told Nick I had to go pick up his present...... I came back and here is Grandma hugging Grandson..... I have seen my Son cry 2 times... when his Son was born and when he saw his Grandmother.... it was soooo sweet.......
and here is Great-Grandma with Nicholas Jr.....
then we waited till midnight for KyLee to arrive home... KyLee kind of figured it out due to the fact that I was still up.... LOL... smart girl..
Then on Friday we had a little get together for the kids so friends could see Nicholas Jr.... and Colton arrived at the house..... once again .. another Son was sooo happy he shed tears.....Nick, Colton and I have not see my Mother since Nick's boot-camp graduation.... long time coming...
Next up is the party for the kids.... TONS of photos.....

Monkey Outfit... 1st attempt..

Saturday evening Samantha left to run a few errands and Oma hurried up and took a few photos of her Grand-button with his Monkey outfit.... Samantha and I are going to go and do some more... will really help me take some better photos of him with an extra set of hands....







oh how I love these tiny lips....
his little smile...








More to come..... believe me I am soaking up every minute of my time with Nicholas.... they will be leaving in a few weeks....
Have a WONDERFUL Sunday....

Nick and Samantha -PreBaby photos

So here are the photos I took on July 4th... barely made it... it was raining sooo bad that day and I didn't know if I was going to get to take them or not.. and the Dr. said she wouldn't make it till Monday.. well that was the truth.. this was Wednesday and she went into the hospital on Thursday at around 11:30.... I was so glad I got to take these photos....

I will be taking them back with Nicholas Jr. to take some of him in the center.... cant' wait..

I can't tell you again how amazing it was to watch my Son in the birthing room.... made me sooo proud.. and to watch him with Nicholas Jr. makes me prouder.. he is an AMAZING Daddy...
