Happy Mother's Day!

Here are our pictures for the week leading up to Mother's Day.

Wednesday, May 6

Mara discovered the joy of roly polies today. Since it's been rainy, we have roly polies and snails all over the place at our house. We also had another cat trying to adopt us while we were out front playing with the bugs. Actually, he was using us more as a shield from a bird that was bombarding him since the bird wouldn't come near us.

Thursday, May 7

We love strawberry season around here, and we make strawberry shortcakes quite frequently during strawberry season since it's one of our favorite desserts.

Friday, May 8

Mara went back to the dentist today to have her teeth cleaned. The dentist said the gums around her missing tooth are healing much more quickly than she expected, which is good.

Saturday, May 9

We had another busy Saturday today. It started off with us meeting one of my old high school friends at Chick-Fil-A so we could catch up. She also has a daughter, Ava, who is a few months younger than Mara, and they had a lot of fun playing together. Then, we went to Fort Worth for Robert's going away party. He is joining the Navy and will be shipped off sometime between now and August 13. (They have an opening and his name is on the waiting list, but he's not sure if he'll be called up early or have to wait until his official date in August.) Mara enjoyed the ribs we had for dinner.

Sunday, May 10

John had to work today, but luckily he opened and got off around 5. Mara gave me her present when he came home from work. We then went out to eat with my family up in The Colony.
