mother's day

We celebrated Mother's day this year a little differently than usual. We normally go out to a restaurant with everyone but this year we all gathered at a park near my parent's house. It was a little on the cool side, but we still enjoyed eating lunch together outside and the kids loved running around and playing on the nearby playground.

I feel so blessed to be Bodhi's mommy. This year has been so amazing. Watching him learn something new everyday makes the days seem more full somehow. Bodhi is talking so much now and it is so fun to have conversations with him. These are some of my favorite Bodhi moments recently:

When I come home from work, he throws his arms up in the air with excitement and says "Mommy's home"

If Daddy is putting him to bed, then he wants a "kiss, hug" from mommy before he goes to sleep.

He likes to take a toy when we leave the house, but as soon as I close and lock the door, he asks me to hold his toy.

The days when we go out for lunch or do something special, just the two of us.

I hope everyone had a happy mother's day!

would you care for some tea?

We set up the kids table outside Sherry's house recently so the kids could have a tea party. It was so cute to the see the kids pouring herbal tea and enjoying their treats and sandwiches. They got to add sugar and creamer (juice) to their herbal tea. Mason and Zena even donned hats for the the occasion.

Bodhi likes to have "tea" sometimes when he's taking his bath, but since he doesn't have a tea set he improvises with his watering can as the tea pot and some small cups. He will pour tea (water) for Mommy, Daddy and Bodhi.
