Could I be any luckier?

Today, on the second Mother's Day, I am feeling so lucky. I am so proud of the little family James and I have created. Today was such a special day: dinner at Carraba's, two lovely cards that made me cry, presents, and two trips to Starbucks. Yes, that's how spioled I am. James took me to Starbucks two different times today! Once in the morning and once this evening.

We didn't go to church this morning because I've had a nasty cold and didn't get much sleep last night. So we enjoyed a lazy morning of pancakes and playing.

Olivia was such a good helper this morning. She gathered dirty clothes off the floor, opened the hall closet, and pulled herself up on her tiptoes so she could put the clothes in the hamper. She left the socks though so she could try them all on, but when she couldn't get them on her feet, she decided to put them in the hamper as well. She also has started blowing on her food like she sees us do when it's hot. She picks up something, blows on it, and then pops it in her mouth! She imitates everything we do. She brings me so much joy. She makes me laugh, cry, and want to thank God constantly for this blessing. I love being a Mommy! WEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Here she is trying to clip her own toenails:

Happy Mother's Day, sweetie! I thought of you guys yesterday :) Amelia does the same things (blowing on her food, drinking water out of the bottle, etc.) It is HILARIOUS!! I love watching her mimic us- but it also makes us MUCH more aware of what we do because she copies EVERYTHING! Hee!

Lucas loves to blow on his food, too! And when I light a candle, he blows on it to extinguish it. :) Happy second Mother's Day, Hannah! You're a terrific mom, and you are definitely blessed! Hope you had a fantastic day! Wow, what did you buy at Starbucks? I enjoyed a dulce de leche latte on Friday. :)
