My First Mother's Day

Last Weekend was my first Mother's Day. It was a special weekend and it had more meaning than ever before. On Saturday my husband took Jude and ran errands, leaving me home by myself long enough to take a nap...an actual nap! It was heaven. I haven't been able to get sleep for more than a few hours at a time for 3 months and so I am always tired. A nap is a luxury these days. On Sunday I woke up and opened my very special gift...a Willow Tree figurine.."Mother and Son" to add to my collection. Then my brother, his wife and her three brothers came over to clean and cook a meal for our own mothers who came over later in the afternoon. We had BBQ/honey chicken, spinach/artichoke pasta salad, potato salad, jalapeno cheese corn bread, and some very yummy coconut cupcakes and lemon poppy seed cake...delicious! Thank you all for my very special day:)
