Happy Mom's Day!

Just this week A started calling me Mom. I'm not sure where it came from, but I must admit I'm a little sad. He still mixes it with Mommy, but I guess it's just a rite of passage. One of many of course. I'm not really complaining. Of course I call my own Mommy, Mom. As do most of us I think. It just seemed so grown up.

But I am proud to be his Mom. I know I'm fortunate, not only to have had an amazing day to celebrate, but also because I have my own amazing Mom and Mom to my husband to have shared this day with! We started the day with greetings of "Happy Mother's Day" to each, followed by a special lunch at a favorite vineyard, and topped with a trip to the playground and burgers on the porch.

So if that's what being Mom means, I'll take it. I guess it comes with the territory.

We had the pleasure of attending a 

beautiful wedding in Kinston, NC last weekend for Kyle's cousin Jess. It was A's first wedding, and he did pretty good. But really I took it as a chance to dress him to the nine's and introduce him to some extended family he had either never met or doesn't see often.

Well, he did his part of charming everyone. Big surprise, right?

But really, we had an amazing time. Now at bedtime we get to say good night to lots of people who's faces he can actually remember! It does make it more fun every night :) 

So I hope we get to see you all again soon! And if you took any pictures of us, please send them to my email. I got lots of solo shots of A and a great one with dad, but none of all 3 of us...

Oh and one last thing...he drove the party bus. I'm pretty sure it will be his favorite wedding for a long time thanks to this!
