first mother's day (kind of).

even though last year we celebrated mother's day insofar as my parents gave me presents and jb gave me presents (who doesn't love presents?), this was the first mother's day where i had an actual human child on the outside of my body.  so fun!

we woke up semi-early, cuddled with emme kay in bed, and lazed around.  she went down for a nap and justin started prepping a delicious breakfast spread while i just sat in a chair and drank coffee and a mimosa with a splash of pomegranate juice.  yum!  the timing worked out perfectly so that everything was ready to eat right as emmeline was waking up, so she got to hang out in her high chair with us while we ate.  i thought it was appropriate to hang out with my child as much as possible, since she's the one who made me a mother....

breakfast consisted of eggs chesapeake (a dish created by the restaurant i worked at in college, chef geoff's), bacon, a delightful salad, and fresh bread.  eggs chesapeake is just like eggs benedict, but you use a crab cake instead of ham or canadian bacon.  it was heavenly.

after breakfast, we spent a little time driving around looking at houses.  when we got back, we played with emme and hung out.  in the evening, e and i laid out on a blanket in the front yard watching justin haul branches and limbs from the tree that fell on our house last week.  the bunny went down early since she had skipped her afternoon nap, and we had a mellow evening of tv and laundry and a quick dinner.

i should also mention that justin got me a gift certificate to the stitch lab - my favorite place ever!  i am busy trying to decide which class i'm going to take and when....

all in all, a lovely day spent with my family.  what more could i want?
