Mother’s Day 2009
Sometimes it is still hard to believe I am a mommy! You’d think after 16 months that it would have sunk in but it can still feel surreal. We went up to Virginia for the weekend and had a great time. It was nice to spend the weekend with our families, especially our moms! We went to Bluebird Gap Farm on Saturday to see all the animals and go on a hayride. Nicholas had a blast with his grandparents and was such a good little man all weekend.
Nicholas and his daddy surprised me with a weekend trip to the zoo and adorable cards! Well, actually they gave me a puzzle and I had to put it together and choose which weekend adventure I wanted to take with them. We could go to the zoo or aquarium. If either one has penguins, you know we’ll go there but I think I am leaning towards the zoo. I know Nicholas will love it. In addition to the trip, I didn’t change one poopy diaper all day! That was a lovely treat in and of itself. Matthew let me sleep in but once I was awake- at 5:46am thanks to Nicholas- I couldn’t get back to sleep. Bummer. I want a do-over for that one! We also went out for a delicious brunch with the family before driving home. We ordered pizza for dinner and Nicholas ate HALF of a whole pizza.
Then today I got Nicholas’ surprises that Ms. Irene helped him put together. Have I mentioned how much I love her! She also gave me a potted flower and the pot says “A mom’s love blooms forever!”. I just love all of my gifts!! And I love my little man! I am privileged and blessed to be his mommy and to have my mom (and Sammom) as excellent examples of what it is to be a great mother.
