Happy mothers day!

Asleep after his big day on Saturday

My mother's day gift!

What a busy past few weeks!  Steven and I have been attending MAPP classes twice a week with the county as part of our plan to foster to adopt.  The classes have been good, have opened our eyes and minds to all the possibilities we are about to open our lives up to, and have been good at making us stronger as a unit.  A few more classes to go, then a homestudy, then waiting.
We also have had some busy weekends, and they remain that  way for a few more weeks!  Always something going on.  This weekend friends that I used to work with were getting married, so we headed to Haw River for what turned out to be a beautiful wedding!  It was also great to see of my old co-workers that I had not seen in awhile.  Gray played hard with all the other little boys, and it was zonked out before we got to far down the road. 
We also celebrated mothers day.  Gray made me a beautiful garden, I received a beautiful charm with grays thumb print, and Steven made me my favorite for breakfast- French toast! 
Hope all the mothers out there had a great day! 

Gray got a new placemat, he was growling to the dino!

Puddles!

Surrounded by artists

This weekend Steven participated in the annual Art on the Avenue event in Hickory with the Hickory Museum of Art.  It's always a decent show for him, and one of the few he selects to do every year.  This year they expanded it to the unity festival, and it was complete with more vendors, music and a petting zoo!  Gray had a great time.  

Dino walk. . .or run!

Proud mama!  He ran right up and petted the snake!

 Steven has also been very busy in his studio preparing for a show he has coming next month (if you are local, go check it out)!  Gray loves to be out there with him.  Usually I am trying to keep Gray from going out there so Steven can have time to focus, but I was able to catch a few shots of quality father-son bonding time.

Gray loves my camera (and I have to admit I love supporting this), and this is one of the shots he took over the weekend.
