Happy Mother’s Day 🪻🌿🪷

 Today was going to be the first Mother’s Day in over a decade that I spent with my mom. However, Maren woke up with a tummy ache this morning and it was not getting better by the time we were supposed to leave. 

We decided to hold off leaving for just a bit to see if her tummy ache would get better, and we are glad we did because she threw up just as we were supposed to start driving. So no trip to Eugene for us. 

Fortunately Maren started to feel better just a few hours after throwing up (she still reports feeling a little sick, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at her or by watching her laughing and playing with Linden). But even so we wanted her to take it easy do today was an extremely low-key day. Lots of reading and board games, ending with eating outside in the lovely weather, and the kids wanting to take a bunch of selfies:
