My first Mother's Day!

Our day started off by cuddling in bed with Emery between us for a little while before it was time to feed her.  We still are so content staring at her to see all the different expressions she's making and talking about all the new things that develop every day!  So blessed!!
Emery and I came down in our pajamas to find the table filled with cinnamon rolls, fresh fruit, and a card.  Kyle always buys cards last minute and then forgets to write in them, so I was SO EXCITED to have a hand written card from him... done ahead of time!  Way to go Kyle!
We went to the 11:30 church service and Emery did wonderful sitting/sleeping in her carseat the entire time.  She was due to feed again at 12:30 so we slipped out the back a little early.
Mothers Day 2011:
We took a lot of pictures with our self timer but then Serina came out and helped get this one:
Parent shots:
And I had to get a close up shot of her cute bloomers that Lauren gave me at one of my showers.  LOVE THEM!
We then changed and headed out for our Mothers Day picnic!  We walked to a nearby park and ate our sandwiches and chips and enjoyed the beautiful day (We forgot a blanket so we used our rain jackets!)
We even set the self timer to get pictures of our fam!  Not perfect but still love it :)
I guess this is what it's going to be like when we have 2 kids... when one is finally looking the other isn't having it!
And this next one cracks me up too.  I feel like her expression says "SUP hommies".
We walked back home and up to the square where they were having an arts & crafts festival.  I found some cute bows for Em :)
 And then we finished the night by making my favorite meal -- spaghetti with meat sauce!  We also made our first caprese salad... it was DELCIOUS!
I can't believe Emery turned 2 months old on Mother's Day.  Without a doubt... I am SO thankful to be a mom :)

Oh, what a very special Mother's Day!!!!

1. Way to go, Kyle, with such a special breakfast and card!

2. Love the pictures in the park! Her expression does seem like "Sup homie?" And you are right: the more kids, the harder it is to get a good picture!

3. Yay for arts and crafts festivals and cute bows!!!

So glad that you are a Mom too! Love you!
