Mother's Day

I do think the intention of Mother's Day was to have the mother have a special day where they perhaps take it easy and enjoy the day. I sure didn't take it easy but I certainly enjoyed the day. We went off to Vancouver for the annual Sun Run but for us it was more of a sun walk this year. The day was beautfiul and Adrianna loved being outside and watching the action from the stroller. Harvie walked the first and last km with her on his shoulders much to her delight. This Mother's Day was more of a treat for her and watching Adrianna and Harvie enjoy themselves that much is the best Mother's Day present I could have asked for.

After the race we headed to our favourite playground by Marlen and Sue's place and had a picnic with the Buitelaars. It was great to sit back and let Adrianna run around after she had been sitting in a stroller for a couple of hours.

Uncle Marlen also treasured some time with his niece...getting a little taste of what is in store for him any day now. We are awaiting the arrival of baby Joey...who seems to be extra comfortable inside and with no rush to enter the world outside. Come soon baby Joey, Adrianna wants to meet her first cousin soon!

I am so thankful for the joy and love that Adrianna brings into our lives. Although being a mom is the hardest and toughest job I ever experienced, it is one that is filled with treasurable moments that have changed me and will continue to do so. I wouldn't have it any other way.
