Hi friends. I hope you all had a great day celebrating Mother’s Day. (whether you’re a Mama or not.) Mine was sweet, very sweet.

I had a newborn session last Thursday and never once did I consider taking a photo of the baby with her Mama. How perfect would that have been? Think, Beth. THINK!

Oh well.

I have photos of a different variety.

First, this sweet Mama bird on our front door wreath. She’s a Mama to five little birdies. The fact that she’s on our door makes us extremely nervous, but we’ve taken many, many precautions to ensure their safety. I plan to blog about it soon. (which means I probably won’t but I’ll try.)

And then there’s the seed my boy planted for his Mama which begin to sprout yesterday morning. And just look at how it grew by the afternoon. Right before my eyes. Just like a child.

This photo opportunity really spoke to me. It’s my bed, all nice and made. With Anna’s toys strewn about. When I went upstairs, she was nowhere to be found, just her toys in the spot where she left them. I don’t know why but I loved finding these toys on my bed that day. (I love even more that she cleaned them up without me asking her to do so!) (which is quite unlike my sweet baby girl.) (who leaves trail of toys where ever she goes.) (and forgets to pick them up.) (despite me asking her to 22 times.)

ANYWAY.

Here’s a shot of the kids and I on Mother’s Day. Although I did not hit the shutter button. I did set up the shot, set the settings and instruct Brian where to put the focus. So. It counts. Yes it does. Don’t argue with me.

I really want to comment on how my large calves and my double chin are a sign of motherhood. But I won’t. Even though I just did. But it doesn’t count. No it doesn’t. Don’t argue with me.
