Mother's Day

With all the chaos of normal life, it's nice to have a day that forces your to pause and consider just how lucky you are.  I have two beautiful and healthy babies.  I still have my own mother in my life, and I am surrounded by wonderful other moms: a mother-in-law, my sister, a sister-in-law, and mom friends.  The kids served me breakfast in bed, I got to run, we delivered some Mother's Day cards, and then we did nothing particularly special and that was just fine.

The kids got to play and we did only the necessary chores.  This is a victory of a day!

The newest favorite activity at our house is bike riding.  Ben has figured out how to pedal...and he is in love with his bike.

I just love the over-sized helmets.  gotta protect those precious heads.

Does your heart not just melt at this.  So cute.

My little lady, dressed for a party at all times.

And after bike riding was done, we played on the swing set and took turns bouncing one another on the trampoline.  It feels like a day done right when you come inside hot, sweaty, and worn out.

A good day to gear up for another crazy week.
