So there's a lot to be said for Moms. I have a wonderful mother and I am blessed with a wife who is, in turn, a fantastic mother to our kids. Everyday she greets it with a loving consistency worth noting. Lunches, packing the car, snack, stuffed animals, juice, milk all make up the symphony of the morning routine. Some mornings are easier than others. Tantrums or kisses the love and care are the same. Rarely are there thanks and that is why we have Mother's Day. While every day is kid's (and husband's) day, today is for our Mom.
We got up and headed to church. It seemed like forever since we've been there. We've had a lot going on and it was nice to all be together. We were joined by Gramiano (Julie's Mom) and step-dad Omar.
Following Mass we hit the Olympia Farmer Market for gingerbread boys, tomato plants, roasted cashews and a crash course in navigating crowds. A good time was had by all.
Our appetites calling us, we stopped at Casa Mia for some pizza and then home for gardening and relaxing.
In the end it will probably not be the sort of pampering day Julie deserves or needs, but it was fun and we were all together.
So for all the days we forget to say thank you, we thank and honor you today, our Moms. We love you.
