Mom

Today was the day called Mother's Day. We had a very full, very busy day!

As far as I can tell, Mother's Day is a special day that is set aside for us to tell our moms how much we love them and how much we appreciate them. No problem! I've got this...

I started out the day by softly saying "Ma-Ma" into the little spaceship thingy in my room that sends sounds into Mom's room. When Mom showed up at my door, I was standing in my crib smiling at her. She smiled back, scooped me up, gave me lots of kisses and told me she was glad to see me. :) We went to her room, she gave me a snack, and then we played in her bed while she watched a movie.

After the movie, we got all clean and dressed. When we were ready, we headed out for church. I was not in any kind of mood for church today. Usually, I sit there like a good girl, but it was very hot in there and I was feeling pretty squirmy. Mom and I went to the nursery to play.

After church, we went to Grandmom and Granddad's. I took a nap. When I woke up, everybody was there! Well, almost everybody. Grandmother, Granddaddy, Grandmom, Granddad, Granny Kat, Uncle Hoppy, Uncle Corey, Aunt Meredith, Katie, Bobby, Colin, and Brenna! (Uncle Brent, Aunt Deborah, Pete, and Helena couldn't come. I missed them!)

I had my picture made with Granny Kat because she was upset about the whole Aunt Trina at Charanda episode last week... And because I love her. :) (I would like to point out that she had a terrible time keeping her eyes open. Mom had to take about a zillion pictures.)

The people with lots of teeth ate their lunch and then I had mine. After that, we went outside to take some pictures. Here's me and Mom...

I got tired of taking pictures outside, so I went back inside.

But Mom said we weren't finished, so we went back outside. I took pictures with Grandmother, Grandmom, Aunt Mere, and Mom...

And we took this picture, too. Mom says it's very special to have a picture with four generations in it. She says I am very lucky to know Grandmom's Mom. She says that lots of little girls don't get to know their Great Grandmothers. She also says that she wishes I could have know Granddad's Mom. Mom misses her a lot. But I know Grandmother Auten!! And I love her!! :)

Check us out...It's Ann (Grandmother), Cynthia Anne (Grandmom), Stephanie Anne (Mom), and Anna (Me)! That's a whole lot of Ann(e/a)!!

After all of these pictures, Mom let me change clothes so I could play. Then, of course, she took some more pictures.

That was okay. I like being outside! :)

When we went back inside, we gave Grandmom her presents. I played in my big toy. After a little while, everybody from Lancaster left. I got very tired, so I took a nap. When I woke up, Mom and I came home.

Mom had to make a cake tonight, so I played in my big toy and watched the Wonder Pets. I'm getting pretty tired now, so I'd better wrap this up.

I love Mom. She takes care of me. She helps me when I need help. She feeds me when I'm hungry and helps me go to sleep when I am tired. She plays with me and lets me have fun. She gives me hugs and kisses and tells me that she loves me. And she says that when she's having a bad day, I make her feel better. I think we're a good team, me and Mom.
