My Third Mother's Day

Sunday was Mother's Day and it was such a fantastic day. Or weekend. Jon came home Friday night and took the kids out for a bit so that I could have some time to myself. I swept and scrubbed and dusted and picked up like nobody's business. How is it that I get a little time to myself, and all I want to do is clean?? It's because cleaning without toddlers clung to your legs is quite a bit easier, turns out.

On Saturday, we headed to Gibbon to celebrate Darren's graduation. We had such a nice time with Jeff's family. Lizzy adores her cousins and she loved getting to spend time with them, especially eating at Applebee's with them on the way home.

Henry and great-grandpa Frauendorfer have a special little sweet relationship. He tells us Henry is his favorite. And that's saying something with all the great-grandkids he has!

Cute little cousins

We decided to stay home on Sunday, rather than make the trek back to Columbus. And I'm so glad we did. After church, we had lunch at Panera and then did a little shopping at Old Navy. The kids were so good, and it's always so nice to be out and about as a family. We really don't do it often, but when we do, I'm so glad. Guess it's time to do more of that.

Could it get any cuter than khakis and a fedora on a toddler?

After shopping we came home for naps, and I got some good cuddle time in with little Miss Elizabeth. We rounded out the day with a long family walk, dinner at home, and a movie for Jon and I. It was probably the best Mother's Day I've had yet. 

I am so very, very blessed by this little family of ours.
