Yesterday was my first Mother's Day as a mommy. We were in Farmington for the weekend, so I opened my present there- well, actually there was only a small present there to open (the Barenaked Ladies new CD, which I have totally been waiting for. A MAJOR disappointment, btw). My main present is coming soon in the mail. It's a 16 x 20 photo mosaic of photos of Blake's first year. Upon first glance, you see a one large photo (the one that used to be on the front page of this blog- with me and Blake in his little elmer fudd cap), but when you look closer, you realize that the image is actually made up of lot of tiny images that are photos we have taken of Blake all year. It really is very cool and there are over 200 smaller photos in the mosaic. It works out really well because he is just about a year and so it basically captures his whole first year of life. I asked S if we could get one made every year.
We had a very nice day (in spite of the fact that I had to drive home from Farmington because S had to do some reading and we couldn't have the music on because it would be distracting- but at least Blake slept). We got home and I read my book. Book club is tonight and this time it was my book and I have to do the questions, so I figure I better finish the book. Then I took a nap and then we met Grandma for dinner. A very nice day indeed.
The photos are us in Farmington and Blake using his walker. I started calling him Bam Bam because whenever he gets stuck on a crack in the sidewalk, he just picks the whole walker up and moves it over the crack and keeps on trucking.
