Mother's Day: Belated
The craziness that is our life, has prevented me from having a free moment to blog....but as my little boy lays down for a nap - I have time to let everyone know that I had a GREAT mother's day!
My Mother's Day actually started Saturday evening. We went out to dinner and to my surprise, Ben and Matt gave me a great mother's day gift early...a NEW camera! Those who know me well know that photography is a major passion of mine and one I haven't had a lot of time for over the past 2 years. I really wasn't expecting anything giving our purchase of new house (closing in august) and selling our current one- so I was super duper excited about this BIG SURPRISE!!!
Mother's Day, as is most holidays for us, is a day of trying to visit with a LOT of different people. We spent our morning together as a family, just Matt, Ben, and I. Then we got dolled up and went out to Brunch with my family; Step-mom Lorraine, Dad, Brother Dave and his wife Julia. We then went home and prepared for a 3pm BBQ with our "other" family consisting of Mom (my mom), step father Bob, Brothers Dave and Matt, SIL Julia and my sister Becky.

Though it required some running around - we wouldn't have chosen doing it any other way. We had a really lovely day with lots of wine, sangria, food and family!
