We had a nice relaxing day this Sunday. Adam made breakfast, my favorite blue cornmeal pancakes, eggs, and bacon. The three of us went for a long walk in the neighborhood. Adam commented that the rhododendrons were having a really good year. I told him that it probably is just that we are walking about 10x more frequently than previous years. Sloane makes us get out of the condo on a regular basis. She has started to enjoy the carrier more and finds the straps very tasty.

I’ve had many people wish me a happy first Mother’s day. Last year, I was in Boston for Ryan and Jess’s wedding (my cousin and cousin-in-law) and it was such a treat to spend the weekend with my mother and the rest of my family. It was also the weekend I told my parents, Jesse, Cam, and Lida that I was pregnant. It amazes me that the little being in my belly a year ago was Sloane. I just feel so lucky that she made me a mom.
