Mother's Day

First, here is a photo of a future Mommie!! Annie loves her babies and here she has 'Fu' in her baby carrier. You can see the baby stroller in the background and her medical kit where Annie ensures that the babies are healthy. Every night the babies go to bed in their doll beds and stroller. Oh and this carrier is meant to be worn as a backpack but since we always carry Annie on our fronts, facing us, she tries to do the same with her babies. What a good Mommie!!!

So, I celebrated my second Mother's day this year but really, it was my first Mother's Day. Last year we were deeply grieving the loss of Shawn's Mom and our first daughter Minyun. Shawn was working and although he tried, it really was a very sad day for us.


This year however, Shawn and Annie gave me a Mother's Day weekend!!! We went out for breakfast with friends on Saturday, then shopping, then out for lunch on a beautiful patio and then, I was treated to a pedicure!!!!!!!


On Mother's Day, Shawn and Annie made me a champagne breakfast in bed!! I was able to lounge in bed and read while Annie came and gave me updates. She was very serious and would tell me "Daddy, breakfast, Mommy, wait here!!!" and then she would run back into the kitchen to help her Dad. It was a perfect morning as we all enjoyed breakfast in bed together. We then went to the garden (we have a small community plot) and gardened until lunchtime. The afternoon was spent watching movies while Annie and Daddy napped. ALONE TIME!!!!!!!! Yipee. The highlight were the cards that my family gave me. One was a Hoop.s and Yo.yo and it sang to me!! Annie couldn't get enough of that one!! Annie signed her card to me and it has a little mouse (her zodiac sign) in a teacup (one of Annie's favorite games). So sweet.


My memories of my "first" Mother's Day is very sweet too!!! Best Ever!!!
