This is what weekends should be: relaxing, limited work. AMPLE time for family.
A perfect first Mother’s Day for me, if you will.
That meant pigtails for Violet.
Then she had her first big girl bath in the big person tub.
she loved it.
her hair is RIDICULOUS. It’s longer than mine at the moment…
…and the way she looks at her hero…
Then yesterday morning, Ryan was a lamb and after Vie woke up at 6:30, he let me sleep in until TEN! TEN! TEN!! yay! I woke to the sound of her singing and laughing, and then when I got out of the shower, a magical cup of hot, Coconut Mocha coffee was sitting on the toilet seat (our bathroom is tiny! there really is NO other place for something to sit) Breakfast was made for me and then we grilled and hung out the rest of the day, including spying on our resident mother robin who had her babies recently. We’ve known mother robins before; mostly they terrify us with their air raids and squawking and we want to end their lives (and I’m ashamed to admit, we’ve knocked some nests down in the past to evict them). But this current tenant is actually pretty sweet and nice. We grill right under her nest at least 3 times a week and it’s been pretty harmonious.
Hope you all had a very pleasant Mother’s Day, too!
