Mother's Day Part 2

For some reason it never occurs to me to get appropriate pictures on certain days. It should be a no brainer to get a picture of the mother with her children on Mother's Day. Instead, I'm posting some pics of the girls, of the backsides of a couple of my friends, and video clip of Ivy. With Steve.

Sigh. Oh Well.

For the grandmas I had Sophie paint on some blank cards, then tucked this little picture inside:

It's funny to me how Ivy's upper lip disappears when she smiles.

On Saturday a few of us girls went to downtown Pleasanton for lunch and some shopping. Sophie stayed home with Steve, and I took Ivy. (I would have left her, too, if she wasn't tethered to me. She's a nursing maniac.) There was a breast cancer awareness walk the same day, so we saw some interesting signs. Like this one.

I may get in trouble for posting this, but I really shouldn't. I'm sure you'd rather see their cute backsides than mine.

Sunday morning I came downstairs to a yummy breakfast made by Steve, a card that Sophie and Ivy "signed", a note from Steve that also made me tear up, and a pretty rose in a bud vase. That (plus shopping childless for four hours) is all a mom wants. Really.

I dug out this little red dress from some outfits Sophie got when she was born. By the time I received this one, she'd already out grown it. Luckily it was a gorgeous day and it fit Ivy perfectly.

It's a halter, if you can't tell, and ties at the back of the neck. Sassy little thing. :)

Ivy's also discovered her toes. We tried to get it on film, but . . . you know how that goes.

Yes, I realize she's not in the most modest of positions, but her legs are so dang cute. And she's a baby. It doesn't count yet. :)
