It’s after 10 o’clock! And I know that it’s a bit late to finally be acknowledging that today is… OCHO DE MAYO! Did everyone eat Mexican food in honor of the special day? We didn’t! Instead, we celebrated my being a mom. I slept in while Marcus fed the baby, made me breakfast in bed, and bought me some flowers. He also made me fresh frozen raspberry yogurt with the new gelato/frozen yogurt/ice cream machine he gave me. Pretty nice, and just in time for the warm weather!
So, ice cream social at our house this summer. Everyone’s invited. Come as you are.
But I could never have become a mom, had it not been for two other moms (and who even knows where they came from? *shrug*). So to thank our moms, Cinda and Merlyn, for everything they’ve done for us for the past so many years, here are the youngest, cutest pictures Marcus and I could find of our moms in our vast, disorganized photo collections!
Shona's mom, Cinda -- circa 2005! Doesn't she look fab???
Marcus' mom, Merlyn -- circa 2007! Hello, fountain of youth!
Happy Mothers Day to all and to all a good night!
Oops! We can't forget the Pookie!

Thanks for the good wishes! That picture of me was taken in 1962 — probably about the same time as Merlyn’s was taken. Being a gramma is much easier than being a mom and I love it.
Thanks for thinking that I am sooo young!! That picture was probably taken around 1954. Cinda, you look marvelous! Still do! And oh! love the Pookie pictures, every one of them!
You know that IS Christopher in that last pic! Happy BELATED Mother’s day to you all. Hope it was wonderful!
Looks a lot like my DMV pic!
1962? 1954? No way! Those pics were taken in 2005 and 2007, just as I captioned.
Emrick does seem to have a bit of that Chris-twinkly-eye going on in that pic, doesn’t he?
