Happy Mother’s Day! I got my present early and have been using it all week. It’s a Fountain Jet soda maker from Sodastream. It’s so cool!!! I love having lots of variety in my drinks and this allows me to make a liter of soda at a time. Plus it’s cheaper than store bought soda and you reuse your bottles so we won’t be making as much waste. We do recycle everything anyway, but it’s nice to not have to lug soda from the store. I am so excited because this is the perfect “Louanne Gadget”.
Just like last year I wanted to celebrate on the Friday before to beat the crowds and have a more relaxing time. We headed for PF Chang’s because I wanted to start a tradition and that’s where we went last year. The dinner itself was fantastic and Nadia was totally happy and acting very silly. She used the chopsticks as drumsticks (of course) and played some tunes for us.
She loved the food and she kept saying, “Big Bite.”
Here is our family photo from the night.
And here is last years.
Today we went to church. Here is a shot of Nadia and I outside the building.
As we were leaving she ran into the grass and realized it was wet. This lead to her wanting to make boot prints over and over again. Aren’t those boots the cutest things ever???
Mike suprised me with a card from Nadia that she gave me with a big smile and said, “I made it for you.” And Mike had put one from him in my purse. Later we went to visit Mike’s mom. It was a really wonderful day that topped off a busy and fun weekend (another blog post to follow).
