My cup runneth over...

The last few months have been a blur. I appreciate all of you who have quietly overlooked my misspelled words, poor grammar, etc.
But, today, my eyes were perfectly focused on some of my favorite people! I went to Jack's house today to stay with him while Auntie Emily took his mommy and baby Sam to the doctor (he weighed 4 lb. 8 oz. - yahoo!!!). When Jack woke up and I was laying beside him, we had a serious snuggle session, followed by a "mimi breakfast", which includes powdered donuts and chocolate milk (and some grapes to make it healthy!). Then he got dressed and Miss Shelly and his good friend Hayley and her little brother, the "other Jack", picked him up and they went to the Wiggles Playland in Frisco. Shelly was sweet enough to invite him to join her and some of her family and friends. He had a blast! Shelly said one of the best parts was listening to him and Hayley have conversations in the car - I can only imagine. Of course, between Em and myself, I don't think Sam ever laid down today, but oh, well, you can never love on them too much! Christine is going to get some much needed rest this week and I am going to play with the boys!!! Jack and I are going to get his playroom organized and play with every toy we can find! Giggi also stopped by to get some hugs, too! I love the way Jack loves us - we always get a hug and a kiss and lots of giggles! Then, Miss Courtney and Kailey came by and brought over some fruit and she and Christine had a good visit. You can't buy that kind of medicine!
As my day winds down and I try to get some sleep so I can go at full speed again tomorrow, I just am so reminded of how God fills up our lives with so much good! I have lots of things to write about and lots of photos to share, but on this night, I will simply share this thought...
My cup runneth over...and I am blessed...

I enjoyed my visit so much today! I will always have a special place in my heart for that house and the people in it! Baby Sam is perfect and when he is bigger and stronger I will snuggle on him good. Love you all! So glad you are all doing some resting and enjoying being together in a calm place!

I just read your comment on my blog about Jack coming down every morning asking to go to Wiggles Playland! Too cute!! Every time we have driven down 377 since that day towards Matt and Christine's Hayley will say,"Ohhhh, are we going to get Jack Pinson and go see the Wiggles???" (with a big grin on her face) It's definitely a magical place for toddlers. Christine and I were relating it to Sesame Place when we were kids. :) It was a fun day, and that Jack is a DOLL. I don't know how you guys don't just squeeze on him all the time. :) So happy to see happy reports! Love you---

I'm so glad little Sam is doing well. I'll pray for him and Christine as they gain strength. Great pictures. I saw the ones on Christine's blog, too. The wedding went well, rain and all. I used your idea for the kiddie table. Thanks for the idea.
Hope to talk to you soon.
