a beautiful mother's day card and a copy of "bossypants" (almost read it cover to cover in an afternon... it's so great),
a few rounds of hide-n-seek in the yard,
my grandmother's eggplant parmesan for dinner,
and we ended the evening with a nice hike and some romping in the creek. as an added bonus, there was a tadpole pool that terry and neve found (complete with huge bullfrog tadpoles), and an endless supply of honeysuckle.
after baths and tick-checks (such a motherly thing to do after all), i read the girls my newest favorite children's book, "orlando the marmalade cat", and we fell asleep in each other's arms.
being a mom to these girls has been bigger, better, and more fun than anything else in my wildest dreams. now fiona, can you stop giving me those teenagery looks for at least a few more years?

so lovely! Glad you had a nice Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day Week!
(Why not, right?)
I've missed Casablanca! Thanks for the photos and videos! Some folks have said Fiona looks a bit like me, but I was never this slim, ever! What a lovely Mother's Day, and save the "BossyPants" for me!

Your girls are just beautiful! And, Fiona really is looking so grown up. How does that happen?!!!
