Pretties that smell good

When I woke up this morning I could smell something sweet. I couldn't figure out what it was. I walked around the house wondering if I spilled something or left a candle burning. It became apparent to me what the sweet smell was after seeing what you will see in the pictures below. It was all the beautiful flowers! I love flowers. Not only are they making our house smell yummy, they are still alive. Some have been here two weeks. That's a long time for some flowers to last in a vase. I have had to throw a few out but don't worry, luckily, I take pictures of everything. I snapped a pic of most of the arrangements that came.

Thank you all for the sweet words on my last post. Brent and I did, and do, read each and every comment and email. No, I've really not been replying to emails (yet..maybe?), but I HAVE enjoyed reading them. If I was magical and very wealthy, I would send flowers to each and everyone of you to say thank you for your love and support!

{these were in the house when we got home & I think they were from kristen and/or sandra. they put lots of little mini vases all throughout the house of flowers for us to come home to}

I think I will like to look back and see these pictures. We have such thoughtful friends and family :) Bloggers are included in words friends, of course.

Now, it's probably time I start looking for thank you notes in bulk.

Happy Friday.

I'm not still getting to hold his hands and fingers....
