Mother's Day

Dad, Ethan and Mary Kate let Mom sleep in late on Mother's Day and then treated her to a lovely brunch at home with cinnamon french toast and fruit.

The weather was pretty blustery in the morning, so Mom put her feet up, read the entire Sunday paper at her leisure, and then Mary Kate took her morning nap. Meanwhile, Mom continued to do mostly absolutely nothing. Except play with the new digital camera she got as a Mother's Day present. It's a Canon A550, and it's fabulous!
The afternoon brought sunshine, so we headed out to the nursery to do one of Mom's favorite things, shop for trees and plants!! We chose three new trees to add to the backyard. One is an oak tree that we planted to celebrate Mary Kate's birthday. The other two are scotch pines.

Can you believe that all three trees fit in the van? We couldn't.

Mary Kate hung out in the van and enjoyed some juice while the guys supervised the tree loading. Here she is, all juiced up!

In the afternoon, Ethan and Dad dug holes and planted trees. Mary Kate napped and Mom putzed in the yard and consulted on tree planting.

A beautiful day with my wonderful family. Life is so incredibly good.
