Today I was cleaning out a bunch of papers and junk that have been piling up for a while. In the stack I noticed a printed groupon I'd purchased on February 21, 2012. It's funny to think that when I bought the groupon I had no idea that in exactly one year I'd be in the hospital delivering John Mark and that a few months later I would be among the many mothers celebrated on Mother's Day.
Mother's Day was great. We went to lunch at Brio, then shopping, and then Brandon did some yard work while I relaxed. Brandon did a great job of making me feel special. It was also the end to the week long cooking strike I've been on. I'll be cooking dinner tonight to make up for being so lazy last week!
The only thing that would have made the day better would be to be with our own mothers on Mother's Day, but we will see my mother (Mimi) next weekend when we make our first 7 hour car ride with John Mark. The following week, Brandon's mom (Nana) will be coming to visit. I guess you could say we're having Mother's Month instead of Mother's Day. Those two "glam-mothers" can't wait to get their hands on our little cutie who is growing much faster than they'd like!
We decided that since we were both showered, dressed, and looking
decent simultaneously we needed a family photo, so we asked our
neighbors to take one. Unfortunately, I'd just finished playing with our
new fancy camera so it wouldn't work for the neighbors (Brandon fixed
it later), so we had to settle for a photo on the iPhone. John Mark was
so good during lunch and shopping that when we finally got him out of
his car seat he was starving and not so in the mood for a photo shoot
(it's a shame because I had a really cute outfit on him - Brandon wasn't
a fan, but it was Mother's Day, so I won that one).
This is the photo I took a few weeks ago for Mother's Day cards, but as you can see from the photo next to this one that he already looks so different.
