mother's day

 

the day after we returned from our epic vacation, it was mother's day! sweet.  it began with cards and blueberry pancakes made by the mister and the little mister.  pretty sweet.  and then we snuggled on the couch.

 

everyone gathered at casa de awesome in the afternoon.  and naturally, baby jacob is the star of our occasions.  he has completely stolen my heart.

daddy does burgers right.

more baby Jacob because he is just that irresistible.

and i am a sucker for these four generation pics.  each of us with the one who made us mothers.  except for grandma great, whose own dear mother has long passed.  but she is near, as she is the mother who started it all.  and i might add, is quite responsible for the way we all mother. am i right, ladies? fresh air, fresh food...among other things.  i like to think that i am a modern woman, and while i am not nearly as disciplined as my great grandmother, but i hear her voice and her beliefs in my head.  amazing.

i am so lucky this boy is the one who made me a mother.  he has made my life. and it feels like it was supposed to be him the whole time.

 

and i couldn't love my own mother any more.

 

it was a good day.
