Mother's Day

We had a nice Mother's Day.

Don called early in the morning and although our conversation was short (due to the amount of calls the soldiers would be making on Mother's Day) it was sweet. Awhile back Don had sent a package and told me to save it for Mother's Day as well as cards from him and each of the boys. He sent me a mother's ring with birthstones of the boys as well as each of us. I love it and Benjamin thinks it's pretty neat. He keeps telling me that the blue one (stone) is his. He loves blue so it is perfect that sapphire happens to be his birthstone.

After church we all went to the Original Steakhouse and Sports Theater here in Ashburn. We had been there for Mother's Day in the past while my mom had visited and she loved their salmon. On top of that Mother's eat for free on Mother's Day (from a limited menu but a choice of salmon, steak or chicken!). The boys were both pretty well behaved during the meal then we headed for home. I'm still battling a cold as is my mom, Harry and the boys so a nap was definitely in order! It started to rain as we left the restaurant and we didn't do much of anything else the rest of the day. But it sure was a good day for napping!

I'd have to say one of my highlights of the day was hearing Benjamin sing my new favorite song (which he learned at school) about "Mom" over and over! Enjoy!
