Mother's Day at the Zoo

I had a fantastic first Mother's Day with Nate. The day started with our Sunday morning ritual of the three of us having our coffee in bed (Nate's "coffee" = Formula)...but this time Nate brought with him a card and a gorgeous necklace (my boys are too good to me). Michael has a knack for making me think he has completely forgotten about a special occasion and then surprising me by going completely above and beyond...you would think after 7 years I would be on to him by now! Nate had a little meltdown around morning nap time (I guess his ears haven't completely cleared yet) so we had to skip church to make sure he got his zzz's...but after his nap we had a delicious brunch with our moms. It was such a perfect day out so we decided that we would spend the rest of the afternoon at the zoo and we had so much fun! Nate was very interested in the animals (once they were pointed out to him...I think he enjoyed people watching as much as the animals!), he loved touching the goats in the petting zoo, and he got to take his first carousel and train rides. He giggled all afternoon (which was a relief after the morning incident). The best pics from Mother's Day are of Michael and Nate, but that's ok because they are the best gifts a girl could ask for...
