Mother's Day Weekend 2009

What a busy and wonderful weekend! Yesterday, Shawn and I took Riley to St. Augustine to enjoy the beach for a little while. She was such a trooper and seemed to really enjoy herself. She went into the water all by herself (with us very close by) and let the waves wash over her feet and legs. Towards the end of our time at the beach, a wave got her in the face as she was crawling away, but being the awesome baby she is, she barely even cried. She just sputtered once or twice. We met up with Caroline and Dewayne for a little while before it was time to go, too. Then, on the way home, we stopped at Friday's for dinner. All in all, it was a great evening and night.

Then, today Shawn and Riley made breakfast for me in bed. Yum!! Pancakes!! This afternoon, Shawn and I watched a movie and then we went out to Bonefish for dinner. So good. For my gift this year, Shawn and Riley let me pick out a new light fixture for our house. We found this awesome fan for our bedroom. I cannot wait! I will definitely post pictures once it is up!
All in all, this was a wonderful second Mother's Day for me to celebrate! A huge thanks to my sweet, sweet husband and my adorable and fun baby girl! Thanks for a great day.

I have been thinking about this day a lot, and how much I have learned in a year. Enough to fill blog posts for a lifetime! But one key lesson that I will share is how thankful I am to have and be close to my mom. I am so fortunate and blessed to have such a loving, generous, kind, hard-working, and inspiring mom. Thanks, mom, for everything. Each day I spend with Riley, the more thankful I am for you. I love you so much!

Our big, independent baby girl!
