Mother's Day Surprises

Wow, what an amazing day! We were a bit sad, because Mike was gone and unable to spend the day with all of us, but we decided to make the best of it. My sweet babies made me lovely gifts and my mom had a special keepsake box made for me with J & J's pictures on it. It was so nice and thoughtful. I surprised my mom, Jake, and Jordy by taking them to Central Park, and having a fun picnic. It was the perfect day for a picnic. The weather was beautiful and the scenery was even better. Our friends Jenny & Cade met us a bit later for some more fun in the park. The day consisted mostly of baseball, but hey, what else were we to expect? We then headed home and rested until Mike came home around 8:30 from his island road trip to Matsuyama. He didn't pitch in either game and had the day off today. It was so sweet, he had been gone all day and still managed to find a Tiffany's on the island and buy me the nicest bracelet. It was an amazing surprise and a wonderful day!




The surprises weren't over for Jake and Jordy though.  Mike left for another road trip today to Kobe.  We surprised Jake and let him go alone with Mike for the night and my mom, Jordy, and I will be going tomorrow morning.  He got to hang out with the boys and had so much fun.  He went to dinner with 2 of the other foreigners on the team, both named Scott, and with the translator.  I spoke to him on the phone tonight and he told me he was "hanging with the boys" and with "the Scott's".  We had a fun girls night planned for Jordy.  Anyway, we are off to meet Mike and Jake tomorrow and will be coming home on Friday.  I will post Mike's pitching updates and will probably post more pictures after the road trip.  Have a great week!
