Happy Mother's Day!

This is my first Mother's Day! Last year on Mother's Day, I looked like this...

Now, I have a walking, babbling little girl who is such a joy to me and who I cannot imagine life without! What a difference a year makes!
This picture was taken by my friend Jen who is starting up her own photography business! She did our family pictures yesterday and Ella's one year pics and I absolutely love this one! I stole this one off her blog!

Anyway, this has been a great Mother's Day. Ella slept in for us (until 7!) and I was presented with a breakfast menu...I chose the egg and bacon bagel sandwich! (I debated between that and the "mom-lette"!) Eric and Ella made me breakfast and I got my gift of a parking pass to this HUGE park by us with a nature center and lots of other fun things that I never explore because I have to pay to park...I hate that! But, now we can go for free whenever we want! We went to church and then went and had lunch with Eric's family. Now we're just resting as Ella naps!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there! And Happy Mother's Day to my mom! Thanks for being such a wonderful mom to me, for blessing me with a full childhood and for giving me much more than I have ever deserved! I love you!

She's getting so big Jen! What a sweet, sweet picture of her! It's incredible how fast time passes once you become a parent, isn't it?

I'm so glad you liked the cupcake toppers~ can't wait to see pictures of her "tutus and tulips" birthday!:) Happy "belated" Mother's Day!

Maybe once I'm a pro at this mom of two thing, I can come out and we can go to this fabulous park you talk about! Glad your Mothers Day was so fun!
