The beginning...

Starting a blog is one of those things that has been on my to-do list since Miles was born.  Mostly for me to have a place to document him growing and changing, since I am abnormally (I think, anyway) worried about him growing up and me forgetting about all the sweet little baby things that he does.  But, I hope it will also be a way to keep all of our long distance family and friends in the loop and up to date.

So, I figured Mother's Day was as good a day as any to start my blogging "career"! 

It was (finally!) a gorgeous day here today.  My parents were down this weekend helping with the new house again, so Shauna, Jason, and Caitlin also came down and we all went out for a delicious Mother's Day brunch.  Afterward, Bill and Miles and I made a quick Menards run (we should just buy stock, I swear!).  Miles had fallen asleep by the time we got home and Bill has been running short on sleep between school and working on the house, so we enjoyed a family nap.  We went out for a long walk when Miles woke up, then back to the usual evening routine:  Bill went up to work on the new house and Miles and I stayed here and worked on laundry and tidying up the house.  I can't wait until the new place is ready and we can move in and relax this summer!!

Here's a couple of pictures of Miles delivering my Mother's Day card:



Happy Mother's Day, everyone!  :)
