First Mother's Day

I must have a bad reputation at work. I don't know how many mothers there asked me what I was planning on doing for Amanda for Mother's Day. That's not a big deal, of course, but they asked me in that motherly "I'm sure you remembered, so I'm not reminding you ... I'm just asking what your plan is" kind of way.
I had plans. I had plans figured out weeks ago. Of course, they're those cliche breakfast-in-bed type plans, but they still count as plans. And it's what Amanda asked for, as well. I also had a leatherbound book made with about 50 photos I picked and captions I wrote detailing Nathaniel's first 10 weeks of life. She sort of expected that gift, but she definitely liked it a lot.

Sadly, Nathaniel didn't seem to have any plans for how to celebrate Mother's Day, so I just told Amanda that Nathaniel had a hand in my gift. She bought it this time, but he's going to have to get his act together for next year.

Coming soon -- this week's picture(s) of the little guy. They'd be posted here now, but I'm still trying to get into a proper routine involving getting Nathaniel to day care and getting me to work at a reasonable hour.
