Happy Mother's Day!


We had a beautiful Mother's Day Weekend, weather and all! It's been indescribably gorgeous here for the last few days, and we're soaking it all in.

I was served homemade blueberry muffins for breakfast, we went for a long, sunny walk, and then spent the evening BBQ-ing with friends while the kids wore one another out. It was a perfect day.

We talked to Nina and Gram - the matriarchs of the holiday! - and only wish we could have hugged them in person. We are grateful for their love and influence in our lives every day.

This pic was actually taken a couple weeks ago, but it's indicative of the kind of scenery we've been enjoying lately
Daffodils have popped up everywhere over the past few weeks. These are beside our back deck.
Beautiful flowers from my kiddos...
... and cards galore! Each one is precious.
