Happy Mother's Day

It was a very special Mother's Day this year. It was Hope's first time as a mother and it was great to have both our mother's over to celebrate the special day. We were blessed with really nice weather and Emersyn cooperated well with keeping to her feed/wake/sleep schedule without much fuss.

One quick story regarding the dining. We originally planned to go to a restaurant but the pediatrician felt like that was a bad idea since Emersyn hasn't had her shots yet and to be in a restaurant with many other kids running around just isn't prudent quite yet. So, we thought we would order from the restaurant we were going to eat at. I called in the morning to find out they don't accept pickup orders until 4PM on Sunday's. That was too late for us. So, "plan b" was to grill out. Hope and I went to the grocery store and picked out what we needed for the day.

I started the grill, went in the house and back out a few minutes later to discover that the temperature on the grill was falling. I knew what that meant - a trip to Home Depot to get a new tank. Bummer! That's the second time this happened when cooking for a group of people. It all turned out just fine but it added a little stress until the food was started.
