Mother's Day

This Mother's Day was the most amazing one yet. Hearing two sweet little voices saying "Happy Mother's Day Mommy" no less than 100 times makes my heart want to burst out of my chest. The unprompted ones are even more amazing. Emily & Ellery are the sweetest little girls. We are so very lucky. Don't get me wrong these little angles definitely have attitude as well. They've become very familiar with the "time out pillow corner" however every time they get sent to time out they smile, laugh, and gleefully run to the corner. Uh oh...I don't think this is how it's supposed to work. I guess with persistence eventually they'll get the hang of it....but as of now I think they may like it.


We were also very fortunate to pick Mother Day weekend to go to Seaside to spend time with Grammy & Papa. It was sunny, clear skies, and warm! I spent two days worth of E&E's naps up on the sun deck reading books and felt calm, relaxed, and even got a little bit of color. Last summer I went through a phase where I read probably 60 books back to back. It gave me the mental vacation that I had so desperately needed. Lately I haven't been able to read as much, but when I do....it's pure bliss. Only downside is that if I'm really into the book I'll stay up all night and am not able to put it down. I should limit myself to daytime reading only so that it doesn't cut into my precious beauty sleep. The girls had a blast on the beach and it makes us realize we need to come back more often. This summer is already packed full of weddings, wedding related events, trips, and other fun things that we honestly have maybe 3 free weekend until labor day. I'm excited about all of the new experiences we'll have with the girls this summer. I can't wait!!
