A Good Day

Mother's Day was a good day. A very, very good day. My sweet husband and my darling boy made it one of the most special days I have ever had. Grant started off the morning by getting up with Wes and letting me sleep in until 9! I don't remember the last time I got to sleep until 9. I am pretty sure it was pre-baby. Grant woke me up and I immediately smelled the yummy aroma of pancakes and bacon. This was accompanied by fresh fruit, orange juice and-- to top off the pancakes-- pure maple syrup (my favorite.)
Grant took care of Wes for most of the day while I got to cut lots of lilacs from my enormous bushes in the backyard (for both my pleasure and that of our mother's.) I also got to read a whole entire book (a short one.) I even got an afternoon nap!
Grant gave me a brand new iHome to replace my 15 year old CD player that doesn't work anymore. He also gave me not one, but TWO massage gift certificates to the Myotherapy college. I can't wait to use them. I love a good massage.
Wes gave me his own Mother's Day gift: he took his first unassisted steps!! It was so exciting, and I was so happy that both Grant and I were there to experience it. Wes spent a lot of the day walking next to me, holding onto my pants for balance. It was pretty cute. Here is a little video of it for your viewing pleasure.

And the Winner Is....

It's a tie! From the poll results, I gather that Wes is an exact combination of Grant and me. That said, some of you (you know who you are) didn't vote on what you really thought, you voted for the express purpose of making it a tie! So let's just say this poll isn't exactly accurate. But it was fun, all the same.
