Better late than never...

Considering this is a "mommy blog," I probably should have written a post for Mother's Day, huh? Well, better late than never.

I had a great weekend at my mother in law's beach house with my mom, my sister and her two youngest kids, and Big A and Little A. It was nice to get to spend time with my own kids and my mom at the same time. I feel lucky to be a mother, and to have such a great one myself. I see so much of her in my own parenting - from the good to the bad. The other day, I found myself telling Big A, "I'll give you something to cry about." I can't even tell you how many times I heard that as a kid, since I was a quite a crybaby myself. Some things just come full circle.

We had a great time at the beach. The weather was wonderful and we got to let the kids play on the beach. The kids were very well-behaved and it was restful and relaxing, especially after last week's stress. When we got home, J got us takeout barbeque for dinner and had bought me a banana cream pie - my favorite.

Here are some pictures from our beach weekend:















Happy momma's day to all the mommies out there. Wishing you sunny days, sandy baby feet, belly laughs, the calm of the ocean, lots of springtime breezes and a great family to share it with.
