Happy Mother's Day!

My first mother's day was wonderful! I knew that I would love being a mom, but I couldn't have ever imagined loving Sophia and Ethan with such intensity and complete joy. They are amazing little miracles and I feel so blessed to be their mom...

GramGram came to stay for the weekend. On Saturday we all (GramGram, Steve, Ethan, Sophia, and I) met up with our friend Rachel and her dog Riley and went for a walk in the woods. Saturday night after Ethan and Sophia went to sleep, my mom, Steve and I all watched a movie together - the first movie night since Ethan and Sophia were born!!!

Today was all about enjoying being together. We all went to church for Reverend Anita's sermon which was thought-provoking as usual. After church, we went to the May Day festival in Harvard Square. Then GramGram did a family photo shoot for us. Some of our favorites are below...

The moms...

Earlier this week...

Sophia, Ethan and I went for a long walk in our neighborhood and then had a picnic in the toddler park near our house with Carol and Sam.
