Mother's Day Weekend

We had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend. On Saturday we headed out early to Historic Roswell which is only about 20 minutes from where we live. It was a glorious day and we had a delicious lunch there. We sat on a beautiful terrace on the second floor of a restaurant and had a perfect table. Diego loved it because he was able to say “vroom vroom” to all the motorcycles and trucks that passed by. He went through a stage where it was tough to take him out to eat, but now he does great. As long as there is yummy food that he enjoys, he can last for a long time. After lunch we went for a long walk in the neighborhood and really enjoyed ourselves. We let Diego walk most of the way which he loved. It is nice not to have a rush in the world and to let him explore everything at his own pace. It was a really hot day so we only walked for an hour or so before we decided to head back. We went home for Diego’s nap and then headed out again in the afternoon noon in an attempt to go for a short hike near the river, but when we arrived, it was raining with thunder so we decided to cancel the plans.
On Sunday we went to the 11:00 church service. We take Diego into the service with us for the opening songs and announcements and he really enjoys it. He snaps his fingers and dances to the music and is entertained watching all of the people. He usually starts to get antsy just as the sermon is to begin so it’s perfect timing to take him back to the nursery.
After church we went to buy picnic goodies and went to our favorite park for a wonderful picnic. We had the entire park to ourselves and Diego loved running around and chasing the squirrels. It was exactly what I wanted to do for Mother’s Day so it was very special. My boys gave me an organic cotton bathrobe which is something that I’ve wanted for awhile so I was very excited!
