Mother's Day

I had a very nice first Mother's Day. It was a low key day spent just enjoying one another. Mark made a great breakfast for his parents and me of homemade waffles and bacon. I got two beautiful cards from both Mark and Grace (plus Daisy too!). They tried to do an art project for me on Saturday but as Mark puts it "It was a disaster." He bought a kit to capture Grace's hand print but rather than putting her hand in it flat she kept grabbing the gel. Then she tried eating it. He got her cleaned up and then then tried to get a footprint--that led to kicking and gel all over. We've decided that we'll have to get another kit and try to do it when she's sleeping. Anyhow, Sunday we just hung around the house. Grace was in a really good mood so it was nice having such a happy, playful baby to spend the day with. We did a long family walk in the evening and then after Grace was asleep Mark got us Chinese take out. I'm a very lucky Mother!
