Noah got a special package from his Aunt Connie with a very fun Gymboree bubble maker. He LOVES this thing! It’s actually a little curious what the bubbles are made of to make them hang around so long (we found bubbles the next day!)
Bubbles!
I think I can get it!
Thanks Aunt Connie! Hope to see you soon!
Noah has been climbing up on chairs lately, and while he understands that he needs to “sit on his bottom”, sometimes he chooses not to…
Climbing up
King of the mountain!
Sitting down like a good boy
No, standing is WAY more fun!
You know Noah loves to watch Veggie Tales. Today I thought I’d show you his new dance move 
(You should know that no toddlers were hurt in the making of this video)
I don’t think Mother’s Day could get any better! I really feel so blessed! I woke up this morning to the smell of beautiful lilies, and Noah and Greg took me to breakfast at one of our favorite places – Chateau Elan. My favorite part – the cheese blintzes with raspberry sauce
Did you know it's Mommy's Day???
Ready for the buffet!
(Noah ate a lot of fruit, and loved the belgian waffles!)
After breakfast, we went for a walk through the gardens behind the hotel. It was such a beautiful spring day!
After breakfast - out in the gardens
Noah just wants to run...
Mr. Independent (he refused to let me hold his hand!)
Here I go!
And back indoors…
Running through the hotel
These stairs are much bigger than the ones at home!
Later we went to a park/playground to burn off some of that energy. Noah loves the swings here…

Digging in the sand with Daddy
And back home, I got to see my big surprise that Noah and Daddy had been working on. Noah decorated a canvas bag (obviously with the help of Daddy), complete with handprints. I got a big bag of M&Ms (who knows me well??), a McDonald’s gift certificate for the McGriddles I’ve been craving and a beautiful potted Dahlia plant. Who’s a lucky mommy?
I hope every other Mother was able to feel as special as I did today. Thank you!
