Well, it was more like Mommy’s weekend! As usual, I think we best show it in pictures. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

Zoe and Mommy spent Saturday shopping:

Fun with Mommy on the Pixieland Express:

Even more fun on the merry-go-round:

One last family shot before heading home for the weekend:

As many times a day as I hear “mama” and “mommy,” I don’t think it has completely sunk in that I’m a mom. Great mothers in history (including those from my own history) are typically strong, wise, nurturing, selfless – and those aren’t the first words I’d use to describe me. (Okay, so I’m a *smart* person, but I’ve never been wise about kid stuff. When the picture below was taken, I was totally clueless.) Most of the time I just feel like Michelle, with a kid – and maybe that’s the way it’s going to be for awhile.

Despite how I may feel, I *am* a mom – and I need to thank Zoe (and Q, of course) for giving me that title and making my life much happier/crazier/more unpredictable than ever before. And I need to wish all other moms (including mine and Q’s) a happy day. I’m not sure my kid-cluelessness would have ever decreased without you!!
