Mother's Day

I had a great second Mother's Day. We celebrated yesterday and went to the park at our old stomping ground, walked the trail, and then went to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Broad Ripple, where we had Audrey's baptism dinner. It was really nice to have a chance to head back to the area since we don't make it there enough. On the way there, Audrey did some back seat driving. We noticed a couple weeks ago that she makes a Vroom Vroom sound when she sees a car. Well, she was making such sounds in the backseat while Eric was driving, seeming to try to go faster than her father was driving! She then appeared to be STEERING with her hands as well. Watch out for when this little one gets behind the wheel!

Audrey loved swinging at the park, especially since daddy pushed A LOT higher than mommy! Oh the giggles! She loved yelling at the dogs to try to get their attention ("Doggie!!!!!"). At dinner, she didn't eat much because she was so proud of herself for learning to drink out of a straw over the course of dinner. She was so SHOCKED when something came out of the straw! And soooo proud of herself - grinning from ear to ear!

She helped with some yardwork today, and was an angel while we went to the store. I whispered to her as we were leaving the store that she was the best little girl anyone could ever ask for. I think she knows this:)

I know Mother's Day was a day for me, as her mom, but I'm just so thankful that she is who she is. We're so blessed.

(What do you think of her outfit, Uncle T and Uncle J???)
