Mother's Day

I decided to make the day about my relationship with Allison since she is the one who made me a mother.  It's not just about me, but about being a good mother to her and always ensuring that I give her the loving, supportive, and nurturing childhood that I never had. 

At school, she made me a bouquet of flowers out of her tiny little hand prints.  Maybe one day I will stop crying about all these little things, but that day hasn't come yet. 

We went on a shopping trip together for the day.

Then we decided that she needed a pedicure.

She picked out the color all by herself.

And then she sat and admired her toes while they dried.  She likes to feel grown up.

At the end of the day, I drove to the hospital to see my brand new baby nieces who were born on the 9th.  Nora and Gwen are very tiny and will probably remain in the hospital for several more weeks until they are strong enough to go home.  I love them already.
