OK, have to say I just had one of the best weekends I've had in over 2 years....and I'm still holding off on expectations...

Mother's day was a blast for us all. We got up & went to church together and then came home for lunch. While I did most of the cooking, my W helped out and it was actually really nice to work together. The steaks turned out great and our first attempt at grilling oysters on the half-shell was a huge success! They were delicious and even the kids liked them!

After lunch, I cleaned up the kitchen and then we all went to a huge park and did a family bike ride for about 45 minutes. This same park has a massive playground with rope courses and all kinds of things. So we went there and all played together. I got some really fun pictures of my W on the rope course with our kids along with going down big slides.

We laughed & joked the whole time.

Then we went home and relaxed the rest of the evening. At bedtime as we were putting the kids to bed my W thanked me for a great day and I even got a hug. And this morning as I got to work, I got a text from her saying "Thanks for a great mother's day! It really was a nice day!"

Its also settling in that the more relaxed I am about this and hold back any pushing the more it helps. Things are taking positive steps and I have to let it happen at her pace.

I can be thankful for this moment without expecting what will come next... Now to keep my simple little brain from forgetting this fact!
