My 2nd Mother's Day

This weekend I celebrated my 2nd official Mother's Day as a member of the club!  It was wonderful.  I think it felt more real this year.  Last year Claire was barely a month old on Mother's Day.  I almost felt as if I was just 'tagging along' with all the 'real' mothers that were being celebrated.  Not that I didn't enjoy it!!  But this year I felt like I had officially earned my stripes. 

Lee, Claire and I went to lunch at Bahama Breeze with his mom and Bill and my family.  We had a great time celebrating Mother's Day and birthdays--Lee, Bill, and my Dad all have birthdays within a week (Lee and Dad the same day!).  So, we made the day one big party.  After Bahama Breeze we went to check out some furniture at Bassett.  Then we headed home for a delicious Mother's Day nap!  It was wonderful.  Later Sunday evening Claire and I met my mom and Gretchen at Moe's for a Mother's Day evening dinner.  It was the perfect way to end Mother's Day.  

I am blessed with the most amazing, caring, selfless mother that I truly don't deserve.  I love her with all of my heart!  She is truly my best friend and I am so thankful for her.  She is beautiful, inside and out.  I hope that one day Claire feels about me the same way I feel about my mama.
