Mother's Day!

I enjoyed a lovely Mother's Day weekend! Saturday we spent the day in the yard and I planted flowers for most of the day. Our porch is now a paradise with lots of flowers to enjoy for many relaxing mornings, afternoons, evenings, meals, and playtimes! Simon gave me a birdfeeder, so we can watch the birds out of our front picture window. We joined Eric's parents for dinner and Dairy Queen on Saturday, for Bill's birthday as well as to celebrate Mother's Day with Eric's Mom.

Sunday we went to church before our adventure down to the Shedd Aquarium. Eric, Simon, and I thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Simon especially enjoyed the penguins and the lizards. We could tell when Simon spotted the lizard in the cage; quite difficult even for us since the lizards were the same color as their environment. We spent the late afternoon and evening relaxing on our porch and eating a fabulous dinner that Eric grilled and made for me!
