A Mother's Day Celebration

This was my second Mother's day where I got to be the center of attention, and boy, did Evan make it special.

We spent the afternoon picnicking under a giant redwood tree at Kelly Park in San Jose. Just the three of us, sprawled out on a yellow chevron picnic blanket that was lovingly made by my mom,  and a basket of delicious treats. Blowing bubbles, and nibbling on juicy strawberries. It was a slice of perfection.

 

Oh and those purple flowers? He ran off to go pick them so that our picnic would be complete with wild flowers. Have I mentioned that I'm a lucky girl? I'm one lucky girl.

Afternoons out & scraped knees

Millie and I spent the afternoon exploring our local park. The weather has been nothing less than gorgeous, and it was so nice to feel the breeze in our hair and the sun on our skin!

While running along the paths, Millie fell and scraped her knee. Now... you may be wondering why I'm evening mentioning it, but it was her fist scraped knee! It's kind of like a right of passage, I suppose. Anyway, she wailed and with her arms outstretched in the air, she demanded that I pick her up.  She sobbed on my shoulder, and I had about 3.4 seconds to relish that she was holding me tight-- needing me to make everything better, until she was crying to be put back down to continue running around again.

Ah, she is fierce, this one. <3
