My First Mother's Day
Today was my first official Mother's Day. It was a good day. I was with Mr. Burke. It would have been even better if Justin were here, but at least he'll be home in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Mother Nature really cooperated today - she hit it out of the park. Sunny blue skies and 60+ degree temps. I think I even have a touch of sun on my cheeks.
My first treat of the day was a quick call from Justin who's currently in Hanoi, Vietnam. He thought ahead and left my Mother's Day card here so I finally opened that up. Right now as I'm typing he's at the Dong Xuan market shopping for gifts. One will probably be my MD gift. Hopefully he gets his shopping done quickly and on to the airport in time for his really LONG flight home. Can't wait to see him. My second treat was waking up to my beautiful baby boy who joined me in bed around 6 this morning for breakfast in bed - he was the one who had breakfast. Thankfully he went back to sleep. Around 8:30 he started waking up and talking his cute little baby talk. He then popped his eyes opened and smiled at me. I love being a mother!

I spent the morning with a friend of mine and her daughter Allison. In addition I got to meet a new friend and her two daughters. We went for a nice long walk around Cheney Lake and a picnic in the park. I was the bad mother...very unprepared. Thankfully the other two were and I was able to borrow their sunblock and hat for Burke. I didn't expect it to be that nice.
Later on I called my mother to wish her a happy Mother's Day. We chatted for awhile. We talked about her weekend and her upcoming nuptials. So very happy for her and Dale! Have fun, Mom!
Now it's almost 11pm and really time for me to be asleep. I haven't been to bed before midnight this past week and I'm very tired.
