My Mother's Day

I know it's been a while since my last post. There really aren't any excuses - we haven't been extra busy...no computer issues or anything. I guess it's just as the school year winds down and our special ed team has been inundated with assessments I simply haven't given myself the time to blog. I suppose I've found the following: OVERWORKED = WOEFULLY UNINSPIRED.

In any case, I wanted to write about the wonderful Mother's Day I had last week - it was by far the best one, yet! The evening before Jeff came home with flowers and took care of dinner and dishes. Sunday morning started by Jeff and Caleb letting me sleep in (I'm always grateful for that opportunity). They came into my room around 8:00 with coffee in hand, and Caleb gleefully announcing, "Surprise, Mommy! Happy Mother's Day!" We then went downstairs, where I found this card, and Jeff made us a wonderful breakfast.

Most of the morning and afternoon were fairly uneventful - just spending time together, even a little yard work (I couldn't just sit around and do ABSOLUTELY nothing). Late afternoon we went over to Ryan and Cassie's house where we celebrated with more family. Then Jeff, Caleb and I went to the beach to watch the sunset. As we watched the sun setting over the ocean, we ate chocolate covered strawberries. This moment was definitely the highlight for me. I think it was for Caleb, too, since he devoured 2 large strawberries and he still talks about going to the beach to eat, "Strawberries with CHOCOLATE!"

It was so nice to have a day to get a little pampered and to just be reminded of the pure joy it is to be Caleb's mom. Hope you all had a wonderful day as well.
