Mother's Day

So I know Mother's Day was awhile ago, but we've been busy moving into an apartment and settling in I haven't had time to post much. We moved Mother's Day weekend, as you can see from the photos.

My lovely flowers

Beauty among the mess of moving

My first Mother's Day gift! An avocado tree! I can't wait until we get our house built and we can plant it.

We had planned to do a picnic outside but it rained about all weekend so we picnicked in our living room instead.

We let Anneliese sit on the floor picnic style with us

But the girl loves tomatoes too much and kept grabbing them biting

 into it and promptly grabbing and stuffing another one into her mouth before she finished the first one.

And my other Mother's Day gift, super sweet memento necklace.

This was the first Mother's Day that I've been excited about and looked forward to since my mom died, and I had such a great day thanks to Matthew and Anneliese. They did a great job loving on me.
