"My Love"

That was the title of the book Max authored for me for Mother's Day. He wrote about the reasons he loves me. Because we dance together. Because when it's cold I make him hot cocoa. Because I taught him how to brush his teeth. Because I'm the best. He drew lots of hearts and "xoxos" on the pages. It was the greatest gift!

At 6:45 am Max came into our room whispering "Happy Mother's Day, Mommy... I brought you breakfast in bed". I should have taken a picture! The tray held a bottle of Advil (I had a headache the night before! HA!), a granola bar, a bowl with a few kernels of cereal, water and gum. What more could I need? He also handed me a pretty pink bag with gifts inside: a bag of Sour Patch Watermelon candies and two new running shirts. :)

What a way to wake up, eh? I couldn't even act tired, he was so giddy!

Chris attempted to take some photos of "my love" and me to commemorate the day; I have no photos of just the two of us! Yikes! He didn't do too badly with the camera after a bit of coaching; a bit overexposed maybe but I think they are beautiful! Thank you, Chris!

Hope all the mothers out there had a special day! Moms are the greatest!!!

Darling Pictures! So cute that Max was so excited to celebrate Mother's day with you! The breakfast must have tasted great when it is given with so much love!
