The Perfect Gift

I'm happy to announce that after months of only saying "da-da", Ada finally started saying "ma-ma" yesterday, which was the perfect Mother's Day gift.

I was also spoiled rotten by Joe who wouldn't let me lift a finger, gave me lots of sweet little gifts, and a new computerized sewing machine.

And of course I loved being surrounded by my kids yesterday. Mother's Day always reminds me that being a mom is all about them, not about me. It motivates me to be less selfish and more selfless, which is a reminder I need often. I'm lucky to have such great kids and I hope to always show each of them how much I love them so they will never doubt it.

You are such a great mom and have such great kids because you've taught them well. So glad you were spoiled! Ma-ma is the perfect gift!

That is the cutest mother's day gift! It is fun to be surrounded by kids. BTW, Jeff is going to Salta, Argentina in September.
