[ we've got mail (and friends) ]

What is it about that heart swelling feeling when you see a plush white oversized envelope protruding out of your mailbox that's signed with a Mother's handwriting?! It's the same feeling I got when I saw a package slip in my mailbox during my college days. It was priority to immediately pick up that package at the mail office because that meant something comforting from home was waiting for me. I remember saving the packages to open once I was in the privacy of my own room to savor and cherish by myself. I mean, hey, sometimes tears would flow when I opened that package and smelled my momma's perfume. Well, I got that same feeling the other day when I found a little package in the mailbox, except it wasn't for me. It was for the grandboy. :) So we waited until the boy was up from his nap to open it together! And he LOVES his new sleeper from Mamaw and Papaw! I think an installation of a cute little mini mailbox outside our boy's door is in the future. It's a must. Who doesn't love getting a package or a card? And especially from Grandma and Grandpa! Baby boy needs a mail box right outside his door. I was going to include a picture of the cute package from Mamaw and Papaw addressed to "Mr. Breck ...." But then I realized it might not be such a comforting idea to post our address all over the internet for any wanderer to see! So use your imagination: To: Mr. Breck B...

Mamaw knew he'd look so cute with that green against his red hair!

Under the raccoon it says "Mommy's Rascal!"

I think this might be the closest to curly we'll ever get... after-bath-time-curls. 

Sorry, punkin, you've got hair like your Momma. :o(

Thanks for the new jam-jams, Mamaw and Papaw! They are so comfy-cozy! I love you! <3 Breckeroni

Daddy has been on vacation this week, and with the help of Poppa we've gotten some huge construction to-dos checked off the ugly list. And in the midst of being productive this week we were able to socialize a bit with our friends Thursday night! We had a great time... there were lots of laughs from the Mommies and Daddies and "Sssshhing" to the screaming babies at each end of the table. 

Friends who also appreciate a good pair of cute BabyLegs!

Friends who also appreciate the fact that I was able to find another use for my obsessive glass jar collection.  I mean really, who can resist pouring oyster crackers from a clear glass jar. 

It just does something for me, I can't help it! :)

Baby Boy is good at showing some love. (Yes, he is wearing suspenders AND babylegs!)

Baby J took his very first big boys steps while they were here! He took four steps all by himself!

Breck is napping and I'm feeling productive. Down to the basement I'll go to crank out some more bags for goodwill and get some more organization going down there. I'm a pack rat, but I'll admit it feels so good to purge and make some room!
