Mother's Day Moments

It was such a special Mother's Day for me. Just watching Madelyn grow and change has been so amazing, and I think just knowing that I have another baby on-the-way made it an extra special day. After church we met my family out for lunch at The Ocean Club (fancy and fun!) and amidst the down pouring rain, we still could sit out on the dry, covered terrace overlooking Easton. We all had a great time. I loved this moment actually caught on camera where Madelyn is asking so nicely for mommy's bag of lip sticks.

Maddy's saying "Please!" in sign language.

Thanks Nana! Burt's Bees is the best stuff!

Nana and her girls. As you can see, Madelyn was disappointed that we took away the lip gloss for the photo!

Maddy and Nana having a grand old time in Starbucks with the tornado sirens blaring outside. What an adventurous day!

Madelyn and her cute daddy in the parking garage after lunch and coffee (she was giving him a special hair-do) Thank goodness for covered parking on days like this!

After long Sunday naps for all of us, we met Gary's family out at Olive Garden for dinner. Here's Grandma Sammons (she'd kill me if she saw this online) with her little Maddy and Maci.

Maddy: 19 months & Maci: 20 months

After dinner we finally came home and I received my special gifts from Madelyn (some beautiful framed photos of the 2 of us together). Here's Maddy is showing off the special card she made and colored for me.

The best gift of all: a super snuggle from my baby girl.
