We had a full and FUN Mother's Day weekend.
The highlight of the weekend was definitely the Avera 5k. Dave had trained with Sully and Anna all spring in anticipation of the big event. When the forecast called for 100 percent chance of rain all day, we were all sad, but hopeful for a dry window, and a dry window was what we got. What a relief. While Sully, Dave, and Anna ran, Greta, Piper, and I did the family fun walk, and Maggie was on photo duty. We hustled on our walk (scooter ride for Piper) in order to make it to the finish line to see them cross. Everyone was full of joy and pride as they accomplished their goals. We all had a lot of fun and are excited to do it again next year.
Mother's Day was nice, low key. I was spoiled with breakfast in bed and gifts from the kids followed by brunch with my family at my parents' house and then came home for naps and quiet time, We finished it up with a fire in the fireplace in the sunroom and Indian food on the couch. My kids simply bring me so much joy. I love the phase of life we are in, we have our fair share of drama and stress, but for the most part, we are all moving in the same direction. I love the way I can communicate with them, how Piper is my sassy but still innocent and silly 7 year old who finds opportunities to drop everything and roll down a hill and has a great sense of humor. I love Greta and her attention to tasks, her fashion interest, Taylor Swift obsession, and professional bracelet making skills, and Sully, his growing confidence, love of sports, "YES!" attitude, and the greatest question asker "mom, what do you like more, tacos or peanut butter cups?" That answer is impossible, by the way. And of course thankful for Dave, who continues to put us first, who works hard at his job and is so good at it, and is also a professional fun haver when he isn't working. Life is really good, and Im thankful for where we are.
