my first with two {happy mother's day!}

It's been a surprising snowy and cool day here today but I had a wonderful wake up to my two boys (I still can't believe I had two babies so fast!) in their love-red jammies bringing me a pile of presents. (And Henry saying "Happy Day!" - be still my heart.) Their Daddy knows that I love books - and so far, so does Henry! - so it was books, books galore, some to read together and one just for me. And a framed photo of me and my boys. And a card for Mummy. Perfect.

Sam's been away for the past few days so I was simply thrilled to have him home again and amazingly enough the boys listened to his instructions that everyone sleep in for Mum today ... random miracle! I told my friend Angie that my wish for Mother's Day was eating homemade brownies while watching a movie and I thoroughly, utterly enjoyed both of those last night. Thus the need for a sleep in!

So a Happy Mother's Day to my own Marmee, my Mother-in-law, my sick, pregnant sister and to all my Mother-friends. I sincerely hope none of you are doing the dishes today!

You are truly blessed! Your boys are BEAUTIFUL!! They get more and more handsome with each picture you post. Walter almost looks older than Henry in that first pic. He has a "mature" face! :)

(Glad you got your chocolate, too! Thanks for sending me a card - so sweet!)

Happy Day to you! I am sure it was wonderful. I did wash one pot...but that was it! NO cooking of ANY meals was the best gift, cards and red roses was great too...I love being a Mommy. Oh ya...and a sleep in and waking up to a quiet, empty house while Mike and girls ran out for breakfast stuff was fantastic!!!! I watched a WHOLE home renovation show without being interrupted....it was a dream!!! Glad you had a wonderful day too! Love you!
