A Day for Mamas

"We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body."   ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today was a very special day in honor of Mama. Daddy and Elias let her sleep in for an hour after a rough night (Elias wanted to play at 4 in the morning!). Then the family went off to Mass for a nice service, a surprise Mother's Day rose, and the meeting of some nice parishioners per Father Todd's request. The boys had a very special treat for Mama--lunch at one of her favorite restaurants, Palomino. Cheers to their service for accommodating an almost toddler! We have so much more appreciation for families when we dine out since it is not always easy to accommodate little ones.

Afterwards, we spent a few hours walking around Circle Center Mall and did some light shopping--Mama got a new summer dress. Then walked around our neighborhood shopping for houses. We have put our beloved school house condo up for sale since we now need a bigger space for Elias to run and explore. The condo fit well for Mama and Daddy's newlywed/graduate student lifestyle. However, now with Elias in the family, a little more square footage for the ability to fully baby-proof is essential. Mama also has been longing for a garden space.

Mother's Day was very special for us all. We would like to thank ALL the mothers in our lives for we would not be who we are today without their love and guidance. We love you Moms!
