Mother’s Day

I am happy to report that Mother’s Day was not a sad one and I never shed a tear. Some years aren’t like that.  It I did have a good cry over Lindsey the night before. I was watching a movie set in England and as soon as I saw the English country side it was all over for me and I started crying. Having her here feels like another lifetime ago. It’s hard to remember a world with her in it where it used to hurt imagining a world without her. Sad. 

Anyway, Mother’s Day was good. I was fasting for sick Marcus who has mono and is down 20 pounds a week before playoffs. Randy wasn’t happy about this but I reminded him that he wouldn’t have to make a big breakfast before 9am church so it was a win. 

The other win is that Randy fulfilled my request for en Ebike. I’ve wanted one forever and I absolutely love it!  Like I can’t stop smiling when I ride it and happiness spreads from my head to my toes as I zip effortlessly up and down the steep hills of Sammamish. I highly recommend one. I’m pretty sure it could cure the deepest depression. 

Speeding around in my church clothes

Ethan loves it almost as much as I do and wasted no time hooking up Henry’s seat to it. We also attached the copilot bike to it and I pulled Ethan around.  We quickly realized it was a bad idea and someone could die so we took it off.

I never got the mandatory picture of me with all my boys so the pictures I took of them looking cute will have to do. 

Watching Henry’s latest favorite show The Gruffalo. He loves the book too. 

The Cinnabon cinnamon rolls I didn’t eat for breakfast.  I love Marcus a lot to make such a sacrifice.

Eating at Sammamish Cafe on Saturday night after Landon’s lacrosse game.  I’m really trying to teach my boys to only order the amount of food they will actually eat. Ethan’s dinner of a milkshake and onion rings proved too much for his skinny body and I was happy to assist him in finishing it off.  Landon ate most of his meal. 

And here are pictures from the 7.5 mile hike up Mt.Si Ethan and Randy went on with a bunch of our friends. I was happy to stay home and recover from my first dose of the vaccine.
