Wonderful Mother's Day

I know, I know...I have a lot of 'splaining to do as to why I have been a major blogging slacker! I will however backtrack to touch on some of the major things that have happened in the past month and a half. But not right now. Right now I would like to talk about my day.



It was a wonderful day being with my girls and being with my family. I was really bummed out that Bart was offshore, and we sure did miss him a lot. But Paw Paw took care of me (he was on triple duty, poor thing), and it was a great day. It was Mammy, Paw Paw, Shelly, Lester and the girls, Kelly and the girls, and me and the girls. Ha ha ha...lots of girls!

The morning started off really cool, but the kids were determined to go swimming. Ella Pearl was chomping at the bit, and there was no way I was getting in that freezing water, so I put her new floaties on, and we put her in a ring. I let her go, and she was soooo excited to be swimming on her own! We watched her close, of course, and all her cousins swam around her, but she was going to town in that pool. It was great! Once she turned blue, I finally made her get out. Hee hee.

Later, the kids got on the trampoline, and it was Ella's first time on it. She just learned how to really master the "jump," so she was sooo excited.

Amelia had a blast by the pool too. She was so sleepy by the end of the day, she fell asleep in her high chair while I was feeding her.

It was a wonderful mother's day, and I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and two beautiful girls.

Be sure to look back for posts I'll be backtracking in the next couple days.
