I wouldn’t say she’s walking yet, but she’s definitely on her way.

Annie has acquired the nickname “JoJo” thanks to a song from that Fancy Nancy play we saw. She doesn’t seem to mind, even though it’s mostly used as “No no, JoJo!” 

The kids spoiled me with songs, cards, flowers, and artwork.

We knew it would be too crazy to try and go out to eat, so we opted for the Tim Horton’s drive-thru and a picnic brunch.

As we were walking around looking for the perfect location, Maggie exclaimed, “Oh, I love a good picnic!”

And we did find the perfect spot. It was nice and shady and we saw a bunch of baby geese and baby ducks.

After we ate, I told the kids I wanted a nice picture with them.

They were very cooperative (and bribed with promises of playground time after).

It was in the mid-80s here, so after the playground we went out for ice cream.

Poor Annie slept through that part of our adventure.

I think she still had a pretty good first mother’s day though.

I know I had a great day.
