My first Mother's Day.

To commemorate the big day, Torin and his daddy got me this adorable card shaped like a bib:

The inside reads, "Happiest Mother's Day wishes to a very special new mom. Enjoy every minute of it!"

Unfortunately, beyond that, we didn't end up doing anything for my first Mother's Day. Although I didn't receive a gift or a nice meal or some other such gesture, I will always appreciate my sweet boy. I see him grow up just a little bit more each day. In fact, we installed his big-boy car seats in each of our cars today:

Yep, that's a Recaro seat--the same company that makes awesome race car seats! Torin loves his new seats and is ready to rule the road. I'm ready for the ride--I think.

If I can be a loving, caring mother to my Pookie, that's the best Mother's Day gift I could ever give myself.
