Mother of Frogs

Nick's new log chair. A Clint Pierce design.

This guy is trying to make his parents civilized or at least he eats better when sitting at the table.

He won't stop saying them. And he is saying them so fast. #proudmomma #almost2andahalf #smartiepants🤓

Goodbye sweet lady. Thanks for being a great mother in law. Thanks for accepting me as a daughter in law. Thanks for loving and caring for Nick for forever and always. This little lady coming into the world will know what an amazing impact you had on all our lives. Thanks for allowing me to be there when you passed. We love you. We will remember you. We will be thinking of you. See ya later Carol.

He likes "hats" and his mommy. 🎩💙

Pudding monster. No one's pudding is safe.

We have had a rough day. I'm comfortable and I guess he is too. #lovethisboy #cuddlebuddy #mommasboy💙

Don't judge. You would cuddle a truck to sleep too. #sweetboy #lovestrucks #latenaps

"Green pudding" aka mashed avocado eating monster in front of a newly colored green wall. Thanks Nick!

This mess. #wild #littleman #troublemaker

Happy Birthday Carol!! The first time I met you 3 things stand out: one you went on and on amount how lovely my cheekbones are (thanks!). How you noticed Michael had a different, but happier laugh when we were together. And as we were leaving you wasted no time asking I wanted children. I think this first memory is you in a nutshell: the sweetest person I have ever met, you know your son and you LOVE your grand babies. I have so many other amazing memories with you. I realize this might be the last birthday we get with you. But now let me shower you with compliments for once: thanks for loving your son. You and both know he is Michael and can be a pain in the ass. But you raised a good man who loves his wife and family. Thanks for the stories. I love hearing about your family, growing up in New York, moving to FL and IL. And finally, I will forever be grateful for your wisdom and or time spent together after Nick was born. You witnessed firsthand Nick's first crazy month. With the lack of sleep and 3 hour feeding/ pumping. This is not a fun birthday for you, but make buy you a big ole steak. You know how to work it don't go cheap. :) I hope you have a happy birthday Carol!

I want his life. Chillaxin on the couch Snacking on chocolate chips. So rough.

Shaggy man no more. #littleboy #littleman #newhaircut

Boom! Baby bump. #dirtybathroommirror #25weekspregnant #dyinghouseplant

Boys. I am happy he is happy, but I don't understand it. He carries this truck around like a girl would a baby doll. He lays on the floor just to watch the wheels go back and forth. #heisaboy #lovestrucks #differencebetweenmenandwomen

This kid. He got a trip to the pediatrician and a 10 day Rx of antibiotics. We are going to get rid of this green nose #yuck and phlegm. But Nicky no naps today means 6pm bedtime. #fingerscrossedhesleepstonight
