Yesterday was low key but lovely. N. surprised me with a fancy bread machine for a combination Mother’s Day/anniversary gift. I’m really excited to use it. It makes a 2 lb. horizontal loaf and comes with recipes for all sorts of bread. I’m particularly intrigued by the recipe for the cheese and onion bread–yum!
In the evening we went up to N.’s parents’ house for dinner. Holidays with N.’s parents are getting a little poignant because in June they are moving to Korea for three years to perform full-time service for our church. So it was N.’s mother’s first Mother’s Day with E. but also her last one with him until at least 2012!
I wasn’t able to see my mom yesterday since she lives out of state, but I wanted to thank her for everything she’s done for me. I know it’s trite, but becoming a parent does give you more appreciation for everything your own parents did for you.
Hooray for mothers, grandmothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, and friends!
Thanks for the photo plugging the book!
Awwww these are such nice pictures of the mommys and little E! I too someday hope to be a mommy but I think my own mom and my bf’s mom is hoping harder than I am. I got a happy future mother’s day card from salem’s mom!! LOL But anyway, happy belated first mother’s day!!!
