Happy Mother's Day!

I’m a lucky lucky woman. With calls, texts, and cards from many wonderful people, my first Mother’s Day was a blessing. To start things off, Nathan had his first 4 hour sleeping stretch the night before, and I swear I almost felt well rested in the morning. God bless that boy. Brian made me breakfast and surprised me with a truly lovely card.

We drove to Brighton for lunch and spent the day with two of the best mom’s I know, my mom and my sister. When Brian and I drove up to Liz and John’s house we were greeted by Leah and Zach hollering “Happy Mother’s Day!” which was about enough to melt my heart. The boys planned and cooked a delicious lunch complete with basil vodka gimlets (I have yet to meet a better summer cocktail). 

The stars aligned and all three kids napped at the same time, allowing the adults a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather on the porch.

Nathan is so lucky to be so adored by so many people. There is never a shortage of arms to put him in. 

Thank you to everyone who helped make my first Mother’s Day so wonderful. I’m incredibly lucky to be a mom. 

Thank you also to my amazing mother who is always an inspiration. You can never be celebrated enough.
