A Happy Mother’s Day

May 11, 2009

Today was a great mother’s day. I woke up at 10am!! (of course I also woke up to Karis at midnight, 3am, and 6am, but it was nice to sleep in and try to catch up). I also found breakfast waiting for me. What a great hubby!


We had a lazy morning and then went to Habana’s for lunch. It’s my favorite restaurant and we’ve gone there every year for Mother’s Day since we got Jafta. I certainly wouldn’t have thought on that Mother’s Day that I would be back four years later with 3 kids in tow! It’s not really a family-oriented place so there wasn’t a crowd, and their outdoor patio was sunny and perfect. And cuban food . . . yum. I was excited to have a mojito for the first time in 10 months.

I really do feel so blessed this Mother’s Day!

Here is the card Jafta made at school for me. I thought it was pretty funny. My hair is white? I thought I was doing a better job of covering that up. But it’s flattering that he thinks I only weigh 45 lbs.

    first of all, i LOVE that you had a mojito for lunch. LOVE IT.

    second of all, jafta’s letter is adorable. for my brother’s letter to my mom when he was in preschool, he wrote “my mom has yellow teeth, blonde hair, and we like to take baths together.”

    … all of which is NOT true.

    so funny!

    Happy Mother’s Day!

    xoxo
