The best day ever!

I don't know about you, but I had the BEST Mother's day ever! I have been feeling overwhelmed and tired out by my daily duties lately. Just stuck in a rut! All I wanted for mother's day was to not have to do everything that I usually have to do...and for a little R & R. That's what I got!

First, I got to sleep in (well, until 7:30 when the phone rang!) and then Ryan made breakfast for us. Sausage & eggs = yum! After breakfast and feeding Aidan (I do have to do some things...) Ryan took the kids for a walk outside so I could enjoy a bath all by myself. One of my favorite things to do is to read books while I'm in the tub (quite an image, isn't it?). I'm currently reading Middlesex (Oprah's book club, very interesting) and enjoyed a few pages in the tub! Next, of course, church. Our Pastor gave a great tribute to mothers talking about how much we sacrifice, including our passions and personality to be mothers (even though our kids become our passions!). It was beautiful.

After church Ryan's parents surprised me and Ryan's Grandma for lunch at the Pine Brook. It was delicious. Ryan then put Olivia down for her nap for me (yes!) and my mom came over so Ry and I could go grocery shopping. Ryan carried in and put away all the groceries (that gets so old). My dad joined all of us for dinner. What a great day!

Oh, and I didn't have to change diapers all day! Except for one while I was feeding Aidan in the nursery during church...I figured I didn't need to go get Ryan to change that one. The bummer was that neither kid pooped all day...they saved it up for Monday morning when they both exploded. :)

What a wonderful day!
