Mother's Day, le debut

Yesterday was my first mother's day. All day long, I had the recurring thought that what I'm most thankful for is to simply be a mother. I realize it sounds trite, but it's the truth. All the cards and special treatment are nice, but I'm just so thankful/happy/blessed to be Margot's mom.

I started the day off by sleeping in until 6:45. Yes, you read that right. Margot and I had some cuddle time and then the three of us headed to my favorite place, The Parkway Deli, for breakfast. I had a smoked salmon extravaganza (my favorite food)and had so much of it left over, I had the rest for lunch.

When we got back, we snapped a few pics on the front steps which was a little challenging. Though it was a struggle to get Margot to look at the camera, I just wanted to get a pic to remember this day so that in 20, 40, or 60 years, we can look back and remember how sweet it was.

Margot may favor her daddy in appearance, but our almost glow-in-the-dark skin makes it a give away that she's my daughter. Ah, the amount of hats, long sleeves, shady spots, and sunblock that are in this little girl's future...at least I can show her the ropes! Like mother, like daughter. It's nice to be able to say that.
