Mother's Day 2009

I received my first homemade cards and gifts this year for Mother's Day! I cried! It was really sweet. The day care center made the two picture poems and handprint shown below. They wrapped them in a nice box, filled it with candy and sent it home with Abigail on Friday when Gram picked her up. It was so very sweet! I put it in her baby book for safe keeping.


Sal got me a wonderful body pillow, as the one I got last year was accidentally left behind in a hotel during my business travels. He also surprised me with a dozen roses and a beautiful card and poem. But my best gift he gave to me was that he agreed to go to church with me and Abigail as a family. After church we all took a nap and headed to Gram's for dinner. Jen and her kids were there, as were Stacy, John & Bryce. Aunt Nancy and the girls came for awhile as well. My second Mother's Day was a wonderful day filled with family and love! Thank you, Sal!

Family Camping Trip

I've finally finished the pictures from our family camping trip in April. Yes, I'm a little behind - I think that is the story of my life. I could blame it on a myriad of things going on right now - but I won't - it'll suffice to say that they are finally here! We had a great time - without Baby Girl I might add. Grandma stayed home too, to watch Baby Girl of course. She had been sick a few weeks prior and really didn't need to be out in the cold night air. Besides - once we were there, I was relieved I didn't bring her. A neighboring family had a small child as well and I witnessed their struggle to reign him in. I couldn't imagine trying to keep tabs on her and keep her happy with the girls as well. (No Jen, not your family! I think you all did great with Javier - even if he did wander off a time or two.) My nephew, Javier, is just two and he was hard enough to keep up with. He had to be coraled to the play pen a time or two for wandering off. Enjoy the pictures!
