My First Mother's Day!

Each year as we celebrate Mother's day, it has always been an occassion for mine or Ed's Mum, but this year, I now qualify as a member to this exclusive club and can join in on the celebration. Being a Mum to 9 1/2 month old Adrian has been a surreal experience. I can't recount the number of times that I stare down at the precious little human being that I cradle in my arms and think to myself, how blessed I am to have Adrian in my life! Sure, there have been those long and exhaustive days where we could all use a few more hours of sleep, but that's triumphed by all of the joy and happiness that he has brought into our lives.

I couldn't wish for a better Mother's day. Spending quality time with my two favorite guys is plenty satisfying for me, but being the awesome hubby that Ed is, he had a few tricks up his sleeves. Not only did he have a dozen pink roses delivered from FTD the day before, but I was also presented with two Mother's day cards - one from baby Adrian and the other from the hubby. I was quite content with the flowers, cards and the awesome company, so I was surprised by the sudden appearance of a beautifully wrapped box. As I carefully unwrapped the wrapping paper and opened the box, I find a personalized FLIP CAMCORDER emblazoned with a picture of our beautiful son! My heart just melted while simultaneously engulfed by all of the emotions building up inside of me. I am truly a lucky Mother and wife!!!

To top off this amazing day, we also saw the musical, "Wicked" in San Francisco, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Sitting in row G where the view was awesome didn't hurt either! That night our family finished the day off with dinner for my Mum (and I).
