Happy Mother's Day

Gorgeous day in Boston, and as happens each year, Mother's Day coincides with the annual Lilac festival in the arboretum. It's been a stressful few days lately with two demanding kids and an obstinant dog so a chance to spread fine cheeses on a fresh slice of baguette the one day the arboretum allows picnics was just what the Dr. ordered.

All Corrie wants for Mother's day was a break, but until Nate either learns to take the bottle or I start to lactate there's only so much we can do for her. Soon enough though I'll train the kids to serve her the traditional burnt pancakes and rancid coffee breakfast in bed, but for now, the best we can offer her is as many hands to help as are available. Forgiving weather and the overpowering smell of Lilacs certainly help.
