First Mother's Day

My first Mother's day was a nice one. Joaquin and I went to church and then lunch with my parents and we had planned on going to Chris' uncle's house when Chris got off of work but Joaquin and I were both taking a nice long nap so we just stayed home. I wish we could have spent time with Chris' family, but it has been quite an exhausting couple of weeks for us all and we really needed the rest. It was really the best Mother's day gift I could have imagined. But I did get more :) Chris got me a beautiful necklace, a lavender candle set and a little zebra figure from my favorite store World Market. He says that Joaquin told him what to get :)

Joaquin was sick most of this week. We had to pick him up early from daycare on Monday b/c he was running a fever. Turned out he had a double ear infection and ended up staying home through Thursday. He is finally back to himself and went back to day care today. He brought home a little flower pot and artwork with his footprint on it and a poem. As you can see in the artwork it is very difficult to get his footprint... he does not like to stop moving much!

The poem:

MY FOOTPRINTS

Someday I'll jump through puddles,

take a stroll or run a race.

Someday I'll walk across the street

or maybe I'll walk in space.

Someday I'll scale a mountain

or I'll join a ballet corps.

Someday I'll walk a tightrope

or explore the ocean floor.

Someday these feet will do some things

that only heaven knows,

but for today they're happy

just to wiggle all their toes.
