My 1st Mother's Day

I love my daughter, I love my hubbie, I love our families and I love being a mom.

First of all...beyond cute is the card that daycare took the time to make for me from Li'l Foot. Remember I told you all a couple weeks ago that we suspected something was up because we found red between her fingers and stuff. Well I had figured out why, but hadn't seen what it was until Mother's Day...oh the torture of waiting to see.




And, hubbie did a wonderful jobat buying a Mother's Day gift for me. I'm truly touched and LOVE it. Someday my charm bracelet is going to look like my fgrandmother's did when I was growing up. I remember knowing when my grandmother was around by the jingle jangle of her charm bracelet. I have that charm bracelet actually except most of the charms were dispersed to the respective grandchildren they belonged to. One day, I will no lnoger wear a necklace with L'il Foot's charm on it but I will graduate to a charm bracelet and then my grandchildren can one day remember me by the jingle jangle of my charm bracelet as I remember my grandmother. Nostalgia is an amazing thing. I have been blessed to be one of the most sentimental fools you will ever know. One day I'll make a list for you of the things I keep for sentimental reasons...not today though. Today is about updating my picture montage I call a blog.




Mother's Day was beautiful. The weather was amazing (a bit windy with a slight chill, but amazing nonetheless). We had our families over for a BBQ. Hubbie busted his butt on Saturday to get the yard shaped up for company. There was a ton of yummy food. Hubbie and I went to mass first thing Sunday morning. Well anyone who's been to mass on Mother's Day knows the priest does a blessing of the mothers where we stand up and he blesses us. It's pretty straight forward. Leave it to me to cry my eyes out because I was so touched by being blessed as a mother for my first mother's day. I recall last year sitting in the pew in the way back and contemplating as I sat there, having just confirmed the day before that I suspected I was pregnant, whether I should stand up for the mother's blessing or not. I didn't last year, I chickened out and got nervous that someone would look at me like I was a freak.

After mass we fought the masses at the diner and got breakfast. Li'l Foot sat like a big girl in her high chair that we bring with us (thank you Auntys Moey and Moser it's awesome and so take-with-us-able!!!!

After breakfast we just prepped for our guests and Li'l Foot was goold enough to nap so I could actually get stuff done. I love that little girl...she is the bestest EVER!!!

Happy Mother's day to all. Loving you!
