Mother's Day 2009

We started our morning listening to crying coming through the baby monitor. It was a quarter til seven and he'd lost his pacifier. We knew he wouldn't be going back to sleep. Sweet sweet Daddy got up and entertained him while Mommy slept in a little, and then they brought me my Mother's Day cards while I was still in bed. We went to church and Dennis had a wonderful time, as always, in the nursery playing with the trucks. When we went after the service to get him, he was sitting in the corner surrounded by trucks and he was smiling hugely. He didn't want to leave until I told him we were going out to eat at the 'chip place', which in Dennis speak means the Mexican restaurant. He happily announced "go eat chips" and left willingly with us. Gran and Pop treated us all to lunch there and then Gran and I went on a Mother's Day hike while Daddy stayed home and played with Dennis. I came home to a clean kitchen, a clean bedroom, a happy child, and supper already fixed for me. David, as it turns out, is a better Mommy than I am!
