Mother's Day was super special. I was invited to Rosie's school for a Mother's Day tea. Two weeks before the tea, it started..."You are coming to my tea!" she said with a lot of pride and enthusiasm. She has the most energetic little hop that alternates with one foot in front and one in back, and lingers for about 2 minutes. It's become a classic Rosie move.
The photo says it all. Rosie and I have bonded. Not to say that Rosie hasn't bonded with Keith...they are super close! She often runs into his arms with her crazy energy! And, ay-yi-yi, Lia and Rosie are inseperable. They both sometimes cry in the morning, just thinking of being seperated...
We went to the Vanderbilt Mansion for a Mother's Day picnic with our good friend Carol. Carol was cracking up about all the photos I took. But it was such a dream like day to me. I'm not really a photo person, really. (Come on guys, when we have a birthday party, I don't even pick my iPhone up for one photo, and then wish I did later. I have to steal a photo to post).
Snacking out with Carol is always a lot of fun!!!! (No, those are not shot glasses!)
Lia is always up to a game of hide and seek with me!
This photo just shows you a day in the life of the girls. The thought of Rosie usually lightens everyones heart. If things are quiet in your life, just swing on over to see her in action. She's not quiet, and loves to move, even if it means pulling Lia!
Lia has one more month of Kindergarten at my school. She has gotten so attached to her friends and teacher, and has a favorite series of books that she is trying to desperately read. At home, she sometimes finds a corner in a room, loads it with pillows and a doll, and then sits quietly, practicing her reading. Yesterday, Rosie was curious, and Lia decided that it would be quite alright to read her book to Rosie. I watched around the corner for a long moment, and then quietly ran to get my iPhone. I missed taking the photo completely. Rosie was onto something else, and so was Lia!
Sometimes it's best to just enjoy the moment, and smile.
