This Post Is For My Mom

Did you know my blog was started for my mom? It was simply a way to stay connected to her across the miles, show her pictures of Ian, and to check in with her.

It has changed over the last four years. I seem to post less about Ian, more about life and randomness, and my mom doesn't stop by quite as often. I know she still looks, just doesn't comment as much.

So today's post is for her. A recap of my day. With photos of the boy who was told me all day, "you can do anything you want today, it's your happy Mother's Day."

We decided to stick with our beloved morning routine.

A trip to the farmer's market.

The new, take the live fish home (right after they club it over the head stand on that white board on the back of the truck), is a favorite of Ian's. He announced to them, "we don't eat fish." Awkward.

Then off to the co-op. No photos happened inside, not sure why. They have great lighting.

Then home for rain induced grumpiness on my part. I wanted to garden. We watched a movie, I napped and then gloriously, the sun came out. We finished our evening in the garden.

As Ian was getting ready to take a bath I spotted these out the front window.

We ran into the park to see them. Light was beautiful. Perfect evening beginning to set light. The light I often miss because of a little boy's schedule. I snapped a couple of shots. Someday they'll have coordinated expressions, until then, I'll just laugh at the goofiness!

There you go mom :) My boys and my day!

Any guesses which is my photo of the day?
