A Happy Mother's Day...

What a nice weekend. First I had some girls I work with over on Friday night for a little vino and a house tour and we had some great laughs. Saturday, we were invited to my neighbor's First Communion Mass and party afterward. She looked like a little angel and seeing all those trusting beatiful kids brought tears to my sentimental eyes. And yesterday, after waking up to chocolates and candles and cards AND a pancake breakfast of which I had to neither cook nor clean, we headed up to my parents house for a cookout. My very thoughtful Godson made me yet another CD of great tunes to add to my collection and the kids all took a walk to the local park and had a blast. My 87 year old Aunt (my father's last living relative) was also there and since she had no children, she really got a kick out of my two adorable little neices who wanted to hear funny stories (of the olden days :) and colored pictures and ate tons of cake and cookies. It was a great day of family and fun and I feel very fortunate to still have both of my parents with me and to be able to spend a day with all of my family. Hope you all had a happy one! Pictures are of some of the nieces and nephews, the two boys (besides Billy and Matt, are my Godsons, Michael and Philip, and the little redheaded Maria is my youngest Godchild.. I adore each and every one....
