That was fun...

Okay, so my first post is done. Now I need to share a bit about today, my first Mother's Day as a mom of two. I got to sleep in today. Both girls were up early. Joe got up with them, which he always does on Sundays. It's my one day off from the normal stuff. Madeline wanted to make me breakfast in bed for Mother's Day. I do not like to eat in bed, so I asked her if it was okay if I had breakfast on the couch. She said that would be fine. A while after they got up, I figured I would get up and see what was happening. I walk into the kitchen to see Joe frying bacon (Madeline decided to make me eggs, bacon and toast), Kaitlyn standing at the fridge holding the handle on the freezer door. She looked so darn cute. I do not want to believe she will be one in three days. She was playing with the magnets from the Fridge Farm. She dropped one and couldn't figure out how to pick it up without plopping on the floor. After working on it for a few seconds, she figured it out. She let go of the handle, put her hand flat against the door and then bent over to pick up the magnet. It's great to watch her figure out all these new things now. She saw me then. The happiness on her face when she saw me brings me so much joy. While this was happening, Madeline was sitting on the couch playing a computer game. She started to call Joe for help, then saw me. I got a big smile, then she ran over to me and hugged me. Again, pure joy. The rest of the day was lovely. Madeline gave me a handmade card and Joe gave me a beautiful store-bought card. They gave me a new scoring tool and a lovely new flower pot filled with very pretty (and pretty smelling) flowers.

My mom, John and Binky came over for lunch today. That was quite enjoyable. The girls gave my mom a stepping stone with their feet on it. Too cute.

We ended the day by going out for dinner and then ice cream. I learned today that Kaitlyn knows how to suck out of straws. Didn't know she could do that. She learned today that oreo shakes are yummy. Here she is taking one last drink so we could get the picture.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the important moms in my life. I am grateful for all of you.
