the day after

My Mother's Day was a mix of disappointments and unexpected surprises. An emotional day, because I am an emotional person and motherhood is a very emotional thing for me.

Today, the girls and I spent a quiet day at home. We stayed in our pajamas all day. We baked cookies. We watched movies. I caught up on laundry. We snuggled. I made one of everyone's favorite dinners. I wore my new cherry blossom lotion and the girls told me how wonderful I smelled.

Then for some real excitement, we played "Where is Claire?". The pictures may not be perfect, but the smiles are real.











Today was a good day.
