Mother's Day

Mother's Day has become one of my favorite days to celebrate. Not until I became a mother myself, did I understand the true unconditional nature and extraordinary volume of a mother's love. I love this day to stop and say thank you to my mom (as if it were even possible to do that!), revel in the love for this amazing little man who has allowed me to be a mom, and cherish what a special and amazing club this is to be apart of.

Elliott had spent the night with my parents the day before so I could attend a quilting class on Saturday. So we met up at Elliott's Gymboree class Sunday morning for our 'exchange'. It was fun to have the extra visitors at our class and he kept wanting 'gampa', 'gamma' and 'Kare' to join in his class :)

We had decided to have lunch afterwards and, rather selfishly, I decided that nothing would make me happier than to eat 'spaghetti' with my boy. There are still very few foods he will eat along with us when we go out, but pasta is one of them!

E was such a trooper while we waited an exceptionally long time for our pasta. But it was worth it. He ate an entire plate of pasta and had the most glorious of naps afterward...which meant mama had the most glorious of naps :)

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day as well!
