Mother's Day 2013

Rappahannock Cellars 2013
Woke up this morning to my lovely my usual weekend snuggle-fest. Ella was the first to jump bed followed by crazy pants Eva. Ella gave me a very cute card and inside it had a questioner that they filled out at school and apparently chili is my favorite food along and Hawaii is my favorite place to go(we talk about it being a place that us girls go to one day). It was very cute.
Chris was great and went and bought us pastries and followed that up with yoga in the vineyard. It was great and exactly what needed after the crazy week I had at school. All I wanted was to be outdoors and relax while the girls ran around and did their thing and its exactly what I got.
Chris asked me what I enjoyed most about being a mom and it took me awhile but I finally said it's sharing experiences with the two of them. Right now I experience that more with Ella b/c she is older and she articulates so well what she enjoys. Chris was very sweet and said that my answer was very unselfish and is a testament to the kind of mother I am. I'm not sure how that will unfold  as they grow up, but once again my husband believes more in my sweet side than I do .


It was a wonderful day with my family and couldn't have asked for anything else.

How I knew

How did I know that my husband was the one for me? I sometimes have a hard time explaining this, but for me it cam down to having a sense that I was going to be alright in my life. Being with Chris gave me confidence. I cam across this quote that sums up how I knew he was the one for me.   “Someday you’ll find the right person, and you’ll learn to have a lot more confidence in yourself. That’s what I think. So don’t settle for anything less. In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.” -  Haruki Murakami

Morning thoughts

I love them Spring is coming, so they say. Yesterday after school we were able to enjoy the creek and playground till it was dinner time. The joys of being able to make the day pass while being outdoors. I can't wait. This morning Eva got a little outdoor time before the rain came,  and Ella hummed along to some Neill Young. Then puzzle mania ensued. I was reading this blog, Manger  and she wrote the following: "While our kids are still small, our lives young, our dogs so splendid, our journey is just beginning!" It reminded me so much of my husband because whenever I say "Things are great."  He always chimes in that the best is still yet to come. I wonder what's to come?

Lazy Fall Days

This weekend the girls and I had a great weekend. It was a beautiful fall day in Virginia. We ventured out to the pumpkin patch near the house with cousin Veia and had a great time sliding down the slides and picking out our pumpkins. I knew I wanted to do something outdoorsy with the girls on Sunday but I couldn't decide between visiting an apple orchard, hiking the Shenandoah or checking out Frying Pan Park. Ultimately, I decided to pull out Ella's bike out while Eva was sleeping and to my delight she finally discovered the joys of riding a bike. She was on it all day, it was great. We decided to talk a walk in our own backyard. We have a great park system with wonderful trails. I'm so glad I decided to not get in my car. Ella got on her Skut and I put Eva in the backpack and we walked to an open field, I pulled chocolate chip cookies and that's when Ella asked me if I wanted to daydream with her. Which meant looking at the...
