My First Mother's Day

I'm a few days late but wanted to wish all the mommies out there a belated Happy Mother's Day. Mother's Day is so much more meaningful now that I am a mom and I was blessed to share it with my wonderful hubby and my precious little girl.

This Mother's Day was a day I will never forget. My hubby made it so special and wonderful - he let me sleep in until 10:30 am (woo hoo), cooked me a very nice breakfast (eggs!) and gave me the most beautiful necklace (bling bling). He worked so hard around the house (vacuuming and cleaning up after our mini basement flood), and cooked me the best pasta dinner (thanks to Nikki and Mark Flanders for the recipe!). He's such a wonderful husband and I can't wait until Father's Day so he has a day like I did.

Here's miss Emma on Mother's Day before we went shopping... such a happy baby!



watch how she reacts to hearing me say Daddy...



We're planning fun things this summer. We're first headed to Pennsylvania to visit with Dave's granddad on on our way up to Michigan for Memorial weekend. Most of my family get to meet Emma for the first time and I am sooo excited to introduce her. Of course we'll have to pack our best outfits to prance around Lansing in :)

In the middle of June we'll be headed to northern WV to meet up with my best friend Nikki, her husband Mark and their little man Drew (he's 1). We're going to Wheeling which is a small town near the border of Ohio almost exactly half way between our houses. Dave and will be celebrating our 3 year anniversary that following week and I couldn't think of a better way to share the weekend before than with friends we adore. I've been friends with Nikki since 5th grade and always look forward to the weekends we get to see each other. A few years ago we went to Martha's Vineyard. We had a blast eating yummy lobster dinners, drinking lots of wine and touring the island.


After that we'll be headed to Sunset Island NC for a week in the beginning of August. It'll be a working vacation, but it's a great place to unwind and get away from the stresses of working from home. If I had my way I'd live on the beach, but it just so happens I have a job and can't do that yet. Shucksy darn.

Well, baby and daddy are upstairs waiting for me so I better get. It's bath time!

Love to all!
