First, let me say that sadly, our camera is not working quite right. The focus appears to be broken and every time we turn the camera on it makes this horrible ticking noise. I have to wonder if this is because someone left it on the stove while the oven was turned on and we melted something important. So, there are no pictures from Mother's Day weekend.
Despite a picture less weekend, we did have a great weekend. On Saturday, Riley and I went and surprised OG by making her breakfast. Saturday afternoon, Ty, Riley and I attended my cousin Krysta's graduation from nursing school. It was at a very large church, where apparently, you can't light real candles because during the candle lighting ceremony, they all had battery operated candles. Krysta was relieved though because she had quite a bit of hairspray in her hair and had been fearful of going up in flames should they have use real candles. Then, on Saturday night, OG and I went to a Rebecca St. James concert. It was a lot of fun. Vickie Beachem (sp?) also made an appearance and she was not only a very talented musician, but quite the comedian.
Sunday morning was wonderful. I broke all the rules and grabbed Riley out of bed early and put her in bed with us. She's so snuggly. She just slept on my chest for hours. It was heaven. Then we went to church and up to the family's place for Mother's Day lunch. Good food, good conversation and good times. AND- no nap for Riley. When she started getting grumpy we headed home. Our last outing of the day was over to Steffens for more food and fun. We didn't last too long there though because we were all pooped by then.
So, overall, a most excellent Mother's Day weekend. I thought about last year when we revealed to our Mom's that Baby J was on the way. I was so excited, but nothing compares to this Mother's Day and actually having her here. She's so precious. God is GOOD!!!
