Family and friends drove and flew in from across the country; only a few of the family surprised her the first day, making her think,'Oh, well, that was it'(which was part of our grand plan, of course), but over 65 people arrived into town the nex...

I went to pick up Matthew at his daycare this afternoon, and as soon as he saw me, he smiled, tossed his sippy cup across the room, ecstatically raised both of his arms while flapping his fingers, and screamed,"Da!!!!!!!!!!"(Kinda like this photo below, except this was taken a few weeks ago at home.)
That totally made my day.
