Celebrating Mother's Day

Mother's Day sneaked up on me this year...with it falling the day after Derby it went by in a bit of blur, but Lawrence and I both felt blessed to be able to celebrate another year with our moms.  At our age, having your mom still around is no guarantee, and every year is a gift.  We had brunch together at Hurstbourne, and it was nice to just linger and visit.

The rest of the afternoon was spent at the ball park.  I had moments of wishing I was napping on the couch for Mother's Day, but then I remembered that being a mom means sometimes spending your free day watching your kids play, because without them, I wouldn't even be a mom, right?


Speaking of my kiddos, they gave me a pink dogwood tree for Mother's Day, which I have been shamelessly begging for for years.  I love it, and can't wait to get it in the ground. 

John did a great job "wrapping" my present

I love all the women in my life, and hope to share many more Mother's Days with them!
