Mimi and Mother's Day






What a special Mother's Day, my mom Mimi came up from Tennessee to visit for the week and that was the best present I could have gotten.

We had a wonderful time when she was here. We went to the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum and Cleveland Botanical Gardens. It was so much fun and Jackson loved the dinosaurs in the History Museum.

On Mother's day I was surprised with breakfast in bed, my favorite super sweet sticky rolls, yum, yum, oh and I got to sleep in, which is a big deal in our house, as Jackson has his own clock and decides that 4, 5, 6 or 7 are good times to get up in the morning:)
We then headed to Mass and back to open presents. Chris and Jackson gave me some wonderful presents and I was on cloud nine. We then started working on our garden which has now grown to over half of our backyard.. eeekk, but you cannot beat fresh vegetables all summer long. After starting that project we decided that we were in need of some fuel so we went to my favorite Thai restaurant Sweet Mango, and had a fabulous meal. We have been going to the restaurant since day one and have become good friends with the owners, they have been through my pregnancy cravings of Thai at 7 am or 9pm or anytime in between and whenever they see Jackson they laugh and saw he is all Thai... They gave us a special desert for Mother's day, which was really meaningful because they had given us the same desert the night before I delivered Jackson as a celebration.

Easter





Wow ...

Time sure does fly. It is hard to believe that I am just posting an Easter story on here. We we had a very busy and exciting Easter. We woke up early Sunday morning to a surprise the Easter bunny had dropped off an amazing display of baskets filled with yummy goodies. Jackson however just wanted to play with the plastic wrap on the baskets, who knew...


After this we got dressed and headed to Chris's parent's home in Loudonville, Ohio where we attended church and then went back to there house for a wonderful feast and more Easter festivities including coloring eggs. It was so wonderful to be around family during the holidays:)
