Happy Mothers Day!
I first have to wish all our Mom's a Happy Mothers Day and my Dad a Happy Maddy's Day. Thank you all for being so wonderful and amazing. I know now that being a Mom is not as easy as you all made it look! I think that you are incredible!
It is not even noon yet and I have to say that it has been a great day! Ryan surprised me by walking in the door at 8 am, when we were not expecting him to be home until this afternoon. He and Ken Evraire drove through the night after a double overtime game to be home for us! I was also spoiled with clothing and a great card from Mary and a day of pampering from Ryan! Thursday morning will be spent getting a massage, manicure and my hair cut before jumping in the car to drive to Barrie to see Mom and Harry! I have to say that I am extremely lucky to have such a great husband and daughter.
Waking up this morning to see my smiling baby's face this morning was great, especially after a fairly rough yesterday! Mary and I both had a hard day yesterday of missing Ryan and just not being terribly happy. Luckily we had some great activities to help pass the time. We started the afternoon by going to a Baby Shower for Allie, with awesome food and fun games. Allie and her beautiful belly below.... (still no baby for Shannon but Mary has told her baby that he has to make his appearance before Wednesday so that we can meet him before our trip!)
Then we went to Bronwyn's First Birthday Party, that was Monkey themed. Boy, did Jana ever outdo herself with homemade invitations, cookies, cupcakes and a cake all with a Monkey face! Below is a picture of the cookie, invite and cupcake... I missed getting a photo of the cake! Bronwyn sure liked it though!
The party was a lot of fun! Mary had a lot of fun playing with Bronwyn, Jack and all the other kids! Jana, Bronwyn and Mary posed for a photo!
On our way home Mary and I dropped by my cousin Jenny and Scott's place for their First Annual Fundraising Poker Tournament and to watch the Senators play an exciting game! The Poker Tournament was to help Jenny with her pledges for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. Mary had fun chewing on Jenny's poker chips! Although I pushed it too far and by time I got Mary into the car she was done. Too tired and too upset to sleep and the poor thing screamed all the way home!
Ryan is asleep right now but we are very happy to have him home and for a few days! I am really looking forward to going to Barrie this week and although he may have to travel back to Buffalo, we will be able to have some downtime where we do not have to worry about him having to go to work! AND we will get Mom's cooking!
