Home Sweet Home

This weekend was our first in awhile with no big plans that kept us away from home. We've been having so much fun lately with parties and a wedding and out of town visitors...but it sure was nice to just be at home.

Although, I can't say I stayed at home all weekend. I had a fabulous time on Saturday, having lunch with some girlfriends. It was great to sit outside, eat and drink and best of all chat, chat, chat! We promised to do it again soon and I hope we do!

We kept Mother's Day simple and special by starting our day with a yummy breakfast at home and then church. I wanted to make a point to hand the camera over to Todd today, so the kids have proof that I did exist when they were babies!

Attempt #1: Bridget refused to join us and sat at the door and said, "I can't! I don't like pictures."

Attempt #2: We promised her an afternoon of the kiddie pool and the hose if she posed for just one picture. She hesitantly agreed.

So later that day we had to make good on that promise, because you know she didn't forget! We haven't had the pool out since last summer when Bridget looked like this...

And look at her today!

Ross wore his first pair of swim trunks and had his first dip in the pool. Bridget played outside all afternoon right through naptime. She better sleep good tonight!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the many mothers I know! I can honestly say that I learn things from each and every one of you and am so thankful for you!

Happy Mother's day! I love that she stood at the door and said I can't take a picture. The things we will promise our children if they do little things for us.
