Happy Mothers Day!

Oh, how I wish my mother lived closer.  We talk at least once a day and she is truly my best friend.  However, my parents live hundreds of miles away. If only she lived just down the street. Anyway, Happy Mother's Day.  Whether you are being celebrated or are celebrating someone, I hope you have a wonderful Sunday.  The four of us woke up and headed downtown for the Komen Race for the Cure.  We opted out of the run and did the walk instead which was smart because with two young curious minds, there was a lot of stopping and looking around as we made our way along the streets of downtown Chicago.  I always love the sea of pink at these events, but it is hard because I know on this day many walk in memory of those who lost their fight with breast cancer and seeing their pictures on shirts and signs reminds us there is still more research to be done. My hope is by unlocking one mystery, we can then solve the other cancer puzzles. 

 After the walk we headed home and then to a late lunch/brunch with my MIL and FIL who just returned from spending the Winter in Florida. Given the Winter here in Chicago, I don't blame them! We are so fortunate they are able to spend time with the kids and see them grow and the kiddos always love spending time with them too.
