Cookies and Crayons

Yesterday was our first Mother’s Day since we acquired a Dougie. As you can imagine, the little guy was tremendously excited since he and his Mum are such good buds, and he wanted to say a little “thank you” for taking such good care of him. He even got himself a new bib for the occasion:

We started the day off with (liquid) breakfast in bed — Dougie and I put together a tray for Kim with coffee, juice and Diet Coke. (It was Dougie’s idea — I helped a little bit.) Dougie gave Kim a lovely frame with their favourite “Me and Mum” picture:

We had a nice breakfast and then trundled out to get our first family portrait done at Babies R Us. The photographer was great & very accustomed to working with babies, and she took some fantastic shots — including the new family photo that now graces the top of our blog. Dougie was pretty cooperative for most of the photo shoot, though his patience has its limits — after about 15 minutes he declared himself done.

Then we went out for lunch at one of Kim’s favourite restaurants (a Cajun place called Razzoo’s), did some shopping in the afternoon and a relaxing evening at home. All in all, a pretty successful Mother’s Day for a couple of rookies!
