Happy Mother's Day

Happy mother's day to all you mothers out there. I hope you had as special a day/weekend that we had here.

We started our weekend Friday night with a fun dinner with Spencer's buddy/neighbor/classmate Kaia and our friend Andrea. Saturday morning I went for a 10-mile run and then we spent the rest of the day hanging around the house...a perfect Saturday!

Today was a really great mother's day (best out of the three so far) highlighted by a brunch at our club (complete with family photo where both kids actually smiled), hanging out on the front porch, and then - the moment Jon and I waited several years for - a trip to the driving range where Spencer had his own club and shared a bucket of balls with us. I think the guy next to Spencer got a little tired of hearing a 2-1/2 year old yelling "I missed" every few minutes - which on a miss/hit ratio was about 4:1. Bummer for that guy, but Jon and I (and Spencer) laughed a lot and Spencer did pretty well. He enjoyed teeing up the ball and had no desire to take any advice (I don't know where he gets that from). We have a kids golfing book on our regular evening reading circuit so Spencer was pretty familiar with tees, golf clubs, birdies and eagles (the latter don't seem to make it into my game). I have my first golf outing this week for work - too bad it wouldn't be as cute when I yell "I missed".

A special thanks to Jon's mom Vonnie for these adorable shoes (if you can't read they say "I love mommy"). Along with these shoes Vonnie gave us an enormous basket of the cutest shoes ever. Having a girl is so much fun - I have loved dressing Shoshana in all of the wonderful outfits friends and family gave us...thanks again!
