Today I had slept in a little until Eric and James came in and surprised me with the news we was going out for dinner.  Judy and Nolan went with us, as well as both of Nolan's sisters joined us at Ponderosa.  It was wonderful and I had a lovely time.  After dinner we all went to Judy and Nolan's to visit.

I snapped this one standing in line to order.  James had to wear his cowboy hat.

Finally meal time! It was so packed but so worth it.

James went to pick all us mommies flowers

Here are my flowers.  The rose is one I got from Ponderosa that they passed out to all mommies; the others was ones James picked.

It looks like you guys had a great day. We had a nice one as well. I got to go back to sleep after Elliott woke me up in the morning, and the guys ran out to grab donuts and a newspaper. :) Then my husband cooked the rest of the day as well. They also managed to get me a surprise the day before (only because Elliott didn't know the name of it, otherwise he would have told me! lol). And we spent the afternoon watching one of the movies they bought me. Overall, it was a great day.
Glad you had a good day. I had to laugh when you said Elliott didn't know the name of it. James does the same thing when there is a surprise. I think he gets that from his dad lol

This is so touching! You have given him a family (or he made your family a family-- I don't know which!) :) He reminds me of my little guy. They're about the same age.

God bless you, Renee!
Thank You , he has made me complete

Please forgive me for being so late in seeing your photo essay. I am just now starting to catch up on my Gather reading but this is an awsome phot essay. I felt like I was an observer of a wonderful circle of love, thank you for sharing it with your Gather friends.
