Mother's Day 2013

Today is Mother's day!! Sadly I had a wedding super early this morning (the bride was so sweet so it made up for it!)  i hated having to leave you.  next year you will be 3, i think old enough to kake breakfast for me!  :) maybe a parfait!  i will block the morning off now!! :) 

Avery was in town and stayed with us.  You were sleeping when I left (at 6:15!) and woke up with Avery in your bed... She said you were sad and confused for a minute but y'all cuddled it out :) what a sweet aunt.  After I got home by 9 we just played with Avery in your playroom, ate lunch and took a nap :) 

This afternoon we went to natural gardener with Avery.  You had a watermelon Popsicle and we walked to see the hickeys and goats.  We fed the donkeys and watched them for a while.  We played in the butterfly garden.  We played in the labrinth, a blanching game we made up.  "Watch me mommy" you would balance on the rocks and walk to the bunch of wild flowers, then cheering! "Yay I made it to the purple flowers!" Then you would  "ill sit here and watch you mommy". I would pick a bunch of flowers to walk to and we would cheer!  Its these little moments that I want to remember and feel forever.  I feel so lucky that I get to share these moments with you everyday.  Being a mommy is a gift and I feel so lucky I am sharing my life with you Lila!  

After dinner we made a craft.  We painted a canvas and then painted each others hands and printed mine then yours on top.  

I kiss you a million times a day "one million kisses" I tell you.  But Lila, it is never enough.  With every cell in my body I love you and it will remain this way forever. 

Love,

Mommy
