Mother's Day 2009

We spent my first Mother's Day in Charlottesville enjoying a picnic in Garden III on the lawn and taking in an NCAA tournament UVA lacrosse game vs Villanova. It was a beatiful day, sunny and 75 degrees. We followed the game (leaving at half-time when we were up 16-0) with a trip to Arch's for some very yummy fro-yo.

Adam bought me flowers and wrote a very sweet card. Adam's mom sent me a nice card and a hillarious "tounge in cheek" guide to exceptional parenting. Both my parents and my grandparents sent cards acknowledging my first Mom's day. The daycare that we send Zach to traced his hand and made a bouquet out of the hand cut-outs glued to pipe cleaners.

My clock started ticking last year and all I could think about was becoming a mother. I can hardly believe that already am. Having Zach has added such a wonderful dimension to my life. And although it's not always easy, I am so happy and I couldn't have asked for anything more!!!
