The Best Mother's Day Ever

Guess what I did this weekend?

I had a baby.

Turns out, he wanted to be born on Friday so he could come home and celebrate Mother's Day with the rest of the family.

He's the best gift.

(Although I really like my ceramic painted heart and handmade coupon book too.)

Full story forthcoming, of course, hopefully in the very near future. For now, I at least wanted to stop in and share my joy abundant.

(Anyone else suddenly hungry for Mexican?)
