Mother's Day


Another great Mother's Day! This year we had our annual celebration with friends on the Saturday before, which meant that I really got to milk it the whole weekend! Many thanks to the James Family for hosting this year. Us Mom's were treated to a tasty meal and once again, the best part was being able to sit out on the deck to eat our dinner in total peace while our husbands refereed the 9 children inside.

We capped off the weekend with a low key Sunday which included Bagels and lox after church and even a nap for me (I honestly can't recall the last time I took a nap). It really is the simple things in life that make all the difference.

Monday morning, Sophie's pre-k class hosted a lovely Mother's Day Tea. Each child escorted their Mother into a beautifully decorated classroom where their tables used for learning had been transformed with tablecloths, candles and flowers as well as a personal place mat and flower with each child's picture in the center. The kids sang a special song about how thankful they were for all the things their Mother does for them. It was a lovely morning and Sophie and I agreed that we made the right move by getting a sitter for Jack.

I am grateful to be a Mom!
