Mother's Day


This year I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.  It began with John and me taking another "personal day" to mountain bike in the Northeast Kingdom.  This is our favorite place to ride and where we got engaged, so it was an extra special day.


It was a truly perfect day of riding.  I think it got up to 80 degrees, the trails were bone dry, and there weren't all that many people there.


The rest of the weekend was spent doing yard work with the kids, getting alpaca poop for the garden, and planting some seeds.


And, of course, John treated me to a lovely morning with eggs benedict, fresh donuts from Poor House Pies, and even some lovely gifts (even this cutie dress).




Being a mother is such a blast.  These guys are more and more fun every day.  They certainly aren't "easy", but they warm me with love every single day.  Most importantly, they make me so, so proud.  to be their mama.  They are funny, smart, thoughtful, and pretty darn adorable.  On this mother's day I feel so incredibly lucky.
