Aren't those pictures too cute? I was on a search for an Asian doll and found it to be more challenging than originally thought. But Mommy came through and here they are together. It's too precious to see her hold onto "Baby Rou Rou" and pat her back the way we pat hers. When she takes the doll by the hair and throws it into her stroller, rest assured we do not do this to her.
The other picture was taken before her bike ride in the bike stroller daddy pulls. We've taken up a new family pastime now that Will is riding - family biking. For Mother's Day I got a bike - anyone that knows me is laughing their head off right now. But it's true. My only requests were that it be pretty and that the seat be comfortable. I mean really, how is my butt supposed to fit on those tiny things? As it turned out I got my pretty bike (a shade of green) and my seat fits, well - my seat. And then some - this sucker is huge! But it does the job!!!! Anyway, I had a very special Mother's Day with both my kids. What blessings they are.

Happy Birthday, Will
It's official - Will is 7! Hard to believe!!! My mom and dad came to town for the occasion and we had 6 special days with them. We (I) decided to forgo the big party idea this year for a more quiet family all about Will day. He requested fried eggs, sausages and toast for breakfast. In the afternoon we went downtown to check out the tulips (a birthday tradition). Then he wanted to go Tex-Mex for dinner so off we went for fajitas. The big present, of course was the bike. After much research and shopping around we finally found the perfect bike. He was thrilled. To pick up on the theme of the birthday I made a cake to match. When I became a mother 7 years ago, I was under the impression that I would suddenly be able to do things I'd never done before - Martha Stewart like things such as cake decorating. And so began a yearly tradition of me trying to make the perfect cake for my dear son only to wonder every single time - what was I thinking? This year was no different with the bike cake but it did manage to turn out good enough (it's a good thing I'm not a perfectionist).
I've tried to post pictures of his special day but for whatever reason it's not working right now so I'll have to try later.
