Mother's Day 2012

My first Mother's Day was perfect. I woke up and although Cole had every intention of letting me sleep in, Marcus was sick and had other plans for me. He wasn't wanting to sleep and unfortunately wanted to be with his momma so I woke up. However, as a consolation prize Cole went out to La Vie En Rose and brought me back breakfast. They have the best brioche pastries and I had a raspberry brioche roll with a dark chocolate mocha. It was heaven.

We spent a good portion of the day relaxing and taking care of the wee baby Marcus. I napped with Marcus and Cole pampered me by making sure that I didn't lift a finger. We were hoping to have both of our mom's over for dinner but that didn't work out, so instead we had mine come over for a quick visit so she could see Marcus. I had every intent of making her a dessert but I was also not feeling great so I didn't have the energy  to cook one and Marcus wouldn't have let me even if I wanted to. So we spent time visiting while Cole started to prep our dinner.

Later in the evening Cole's family came over and Grae and Cole finished making a gourmet meal. Cole made me a leg of lamb, baked wild mushroom risotto, a spinach salad, and thrice baked potatoes. The meal was amazing and we were stuffed afterwards. For dessert even made a berry cobbler that was a perfectly sweet ending to the meal.

I got a sweet card from Cole that meant a lot as a first Mother's Day card given all that we have been going through in the past few months. Despite Marcus being sick it was a great day! The only bummer is we didn't think to get any pictures... next year for sure!

As for Marcus... the day care potted a little flower for me and took his footprint down. Even though it was simple it was so sweet to get my very first Mother's Day present. Pictures are below of my very first gift!
