Dia de Mia vol.1 no.11: Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! I can't believe that eleven weeks have passed so quickly!!! Motherhood is definitely everything I had hoped and dreamed it could be. Mia was so excited to give me her present that she woke me up at 5:30am and didn't really want to go back to sleep. I don't mind though, she was wide awake and in a great mood. Mia, Cleo and Ulla were so sweet... they gave me a new camera (hope to send a video out soon) and the tools to make creme brulee (my favorite dessert). I can't wait to use the mini-blow torch!!!

We've had a very busy week. My transition back to work wasn't half as bad as I thought it would be. I think knowing that Brad was home with Mia helped me to feel at ease, my students were more than excited to have me back and I managed to sneak home for lunch every day. Mia and daddy are quite the pair and they spend their days at the computer, going on walks (several of my colleagues have "spotted" the crew: Brad, Mia, Cleo and Ulla walking in the neighborhood), and they even managed an outing to the mall (Brad's least favorite place) for Mother's Day shopping. We hope to have a relaxing day today and plan to BB-Q later this evening and if all goes well, we'll enjoy a tasty dessert and watch the Survivor Finale. Mia is VERY excited to meet her Uncle Bob this week. Hmm... Uncle Bob, Mia and a mini-blow torch should make for some interesting pictures...

Until next week...stay tuned for no. 12

love,

Marlo, Brad, Mia, Cleo and Ulla
