My first Mother's Day was a couple of weeks ago. Some days, it's still hard to believe that I'm a mother - that the amazing little boy who's sleeping down the hall right now is mine (well, ours!) The last nine months have been by far the most amazing and rewarding of my life. I look at pictures from when Daniel was just a few months old and I can hardly believe it - he changes so fast. He's turning into such a great little person, and it's so much fun to watch him discover new things every day. I'm just incredibly lucky to be his mom, and incredibly lucky to be married to such a wonderful husband and father.
I had a wonderful Mother's Day. I got to sleep in (!!) and then Mike made blueberry pancakes and gave me my Mother's Day gift - a beautiful necklace. It's similar to one I used to wear (a white-gold heart) but this one has a second tiny heart attached, for Daniel. I adore it and I smile every time I see it. (Oh, and check out the little guy below - he learned to clap!)
Later, the three of us spent the afternoon at the park. We went to the playground, and then just relaxed and watched the people go by for awhile. Daniel loves people-watching, especially kids. He also managed to get over his dislike for grass (good thing, we don't want him to be too much of a city boy).

Now you understand exactly how I feel every time I think of you, or even better spend time with you, Jen! And the amazing thing is that it just keeps getting better as those little ones grow up and add great new family members like Mike and Daniel!
