The littlest gardener...

My 1st Mother's Day
Sunday was a most excellent day - it was my first "official" Mother's Day. Grace and I took my Mom out to breakfast and Steve took his Mom out to breakfast. Then Steve, Grace and I spent the day planting flowers.

Grace was a big help (wink, wink). She had so much fun digging in the dirt, watching Mommy and Daddy, and trying to do exactly what we did. And I might add that she was the prettiest little flower of all!

I am definitely the luckiest Mom in the world. Wow - I'm a Mom. And I absolutely love it.

Now for the pictures - sorry, this little gardener is not for hire!

They're Back
Gracie and Daddy made it home safe and sound from North Carolina. The trip was rough on Grace. She was so happy to be home. I think she likes her home and was afraid that she wouldn't be coming back. The first night she was home I put her to bed and she had the biggest grin on her face. She fell asleep without a peep. I'm so glad their back. I sure missed my little girl, oh, and Steve too! Now for some random photos...

"Here I am carrying a bunch of stuff, just like Mommy on Monday mornings!"


Grandpa and cousin Ethan - they're best buddies and I just love this picture!
