My First Mother’s Day

My first Mother’s Day was WONDERFUL.  On Saturday, a dozen roses arrived at the door with a sweet card.  I split up the bouquet into several vases so I could put them around the condo- a little joy by my bed and the kitchen and bathroom sinks.

Then on Sunday afternoon, we picked up lunch and went to a local regional park for a picnic by the Potomac River.

Yummy ribs, mac and cheese, and corn bread.  And absolutely beautiful weather – nearly cloudless skies, sunshine, and perfect temperatures in the shade of a tree.

Abel wasn’t sure about the grass…

But he loves smooches from Papa!

I am so blessed with such a sweet baby boy… and an awesome husband too!

And I’m so grateful to my awesome husband for putting together a fantastic first Mother’s Day.

I loved sitting by the water in the beautiful weather, soaking up fresh air, sunshine, and snuggles with Mr. Abel – both snuggles with me and with his Papa.

It seriously doesn’t get much better than this.
