A Day for Me

I so enjoyed my second Mother's Day this year (2007 was more of a Mother's-to-Be Day for me). I LOVE that Mother's Day pertains to me now! Even after almost 22 months it's still surreal sometimes. That I am actually someone's mother!

Tennyson gave me a great gift and slept until 8:30 that morning, well past his usual wake-up time of 7(ish). I had told Tom earlier that week all I wanted were flowers, Mexican food, and a nap. Yes, I really am that easy to please! No high-maintenance girl here! Tom bought me some beautiful flowers the day before Mother's Day and I just threw them out about 4 days ago!

We headed to church that morning and then to El Charros for some yummy Mexican food. I really wanted to get some good pictures of me with my little man, so when we got home from lunch Tom took a bunch of Tennyson and I together. Then it was Family Naptime. Ahhh, it was a wonderful thing. Then later that afternoon we headed over to my parents' for a cookout since that was what my mom wanted for her special day. Not all of my siblings and their families were there, but we still had a small crowd of 14. (Tennyson ended up coming down with a fever after his nap that day, so we cut the festivities a little short.)

So all in all it was a low-key but special day. I am already looking forward to next year when I will have TWO boys to celebrate with!
