The 3 of us have the best mom in the world. She has an incredible way of making each one of us feel special; she has never believed she has to give each of us the same thing, but instead she gives each of us what we need when we need it. Expect for one thing- her prayers we are each prayed for religiously and have been since before our births.
Though my mom has never showed one of us more affection than the other we all know where she stands when it comes to her “baby boy”. He still goes home on Saturday mornings for pancakes- homemade- not Bisquick! He still sleeps with the same blue blanket from his crib. He still gets his “own special pan” of banana pudding. He still melts her heart. He still has beautiful brown curls and wide and curious blue eyes. He still has his tiny little hand wrapped around her finger.
And she is still his whole world. He laps up her banana pudding and stacks her pancakes high. He demands that his friends, his wife and complete strangers respect her. He makes choices in his life based on her wisdom. He loves being “Mama's baby”.
And she loves that he is her "baby"! She will let nothing- I mean NOTHING- not even prision gates keep her from him. She will continue to make "his" favorite foods and repair his blanket. She will never stop praying for him. He will always be her "baby". 
This past Saturday JonJon married Casey! It was a beautiful wedding, but this moment stole the night- at least for me.
The mother/son dance…
They were sobbing (and that is understating it)! So everyone else was too! What a special bond!
Disclaimer: My older brother Stephen and my mom have a special relationship because he was an only child for 7 years. My mom and I have our own special relationship because I am the only girl! As much as we tease her about JonJon we each have our own “special things” with her. She is truly a special lady and we are blessed to have her as our mother.
P.S. I added some extra pictures of the day! I made all of these- expect the bride! But I did make the cake and the flowers and the flower girls! ;)

I know that you are glad not to be stressed anymore but you did an amazing job on both the flowers and cake. What beautiful pictures. Especially the one of your mom and brother. So sweet
The cake is amazing, Kristin! Such sweet pics. And your commentary on your family is so sweet too. What a blessing.
