Mothers Day 2016

My first mother's day in Colorado was a massive hit. What an amazing set of memories. I'm posting these very late and with warm feelings in my heart. 

We were still staying with Uncle Frannie & Aunt Kiwi. The kids woke up and spotted some bunnies in the backyard. 

Then they surprised me with a gorgeous card that I still have on my desk all these months later.

Yep, I cried.

Then we popped into our rental car and drove up I-70 and into the snow towards Breckenridge.

There we ate pancakes bigger than our heads.

There, we explored the city and the amazing outdoor wonderful. The children blossomed in the fresh air, the playful area, and the chillier air.

We struggled to get the kids from these chairs. I still think we should get some of these for home.

Right before we took off, we visited the "coolest playground ever!' and got some pictures. All of my mothers' days have been wonderful; this was by far the best. Mountains seem to bring out the best in us.

Jelly Bean 7 Months & Happy Mom's Day

Today - Mother's Day - my little girl turns seven months old. That is definitely on the side of being closer to one year old than closer to being my little newborn. Oh, and she's standing. Sometimes she's even pushing something a little bit out in front of her and then trying to shuffle after it. 

People - she's standing. I still cannot wrap my head around that.

Today she started saying "momma" as well. I know I've heard it before from my bigger baby, but there is something magical about every baby saying it. I mean, really, now, aint that something!

Since it is also mom's day, we tried to get a lovely picture of both kids in my arms. This was the result.

I can't figure out which is my favorite. Together they all sum up what motherhood is like for me these days. Loud, chaotic, goofy and somewhat more physical than I expected.
