Mother's Day 2012

Today has been a very lovely day. The children brought me breakfast in bed: pancakes, bacon, strawberries & orange juice. Wesley picked out a dozen red roses for me. Ben told me that the boy insisted they be red. Josie picked out Ghiradelli Dark & Sea Salt Caramel chocolate squares- she knows me so well. And Carlise having noticed my frequent use of my kindle, picked out a clip-on light for it.

After our leisure morning, we did some prep and hurried up to Enterprise to spend lunch with my Mom &  sister, JaNae. We had a lunch of chuck eye steaks, artichokes, pasta salad,  & a chilled salad w/ avocado. It was fulfilling being able to serve my mother a meal I prepared. A very tiny bit of payback for all the many she has given me.

Before returning home for dinner, we stopped in to see Ben's mom. Ben picked out some lovely tulips for her (the ones we gave her for Easter were already dead). We enjoyed our visit with her before the children started becoming cranky due to the lateness of dinner.

Ben did a fantastic job of making this day so lovely for our mothers and myself. Love that man!
