Mothers Day came and went a couple months ago. At this point, the details of the day are little hazy. I’m sure Sean tried to let me sleep in, and I’m guessing I wasn’t able to. I’d bet he tried to do a few extra things around the house so I wouldn’t feel like I had to.

Mothers Day 2014

We did get cleaned up and headed out to the Umlauf Sculpture Garden to take photos amongst the greenery and art. It was a hot day, so Maya’s cheeks turned rosy pretty quickly, and we all had a bit of a “dewy” look to us.

Mothers Day 2014

Anyone who has spent time playing with her will not be surprised by this, but Maya’s sole interest at Umlauf was the rocks along the outdoor paths. There were people there with dogs, a variety of accessible sculptures, and lots of other kids running around, but she had eyes only for gravel. One little boy even tried to show her the tiny turtle he had found. No interest.

How much longer do I have to do this?

She also had no interest in standing still for photos. Any shots that Sean managed to capture were a testament to *his* patience, not Maya’s.

2014 Stepping Stone

Sean and Maya also made me another stepping stone. They went to the craft store together and shopped for beads. These were all apparently of Maya’s choosing. I think they did well. We all agree though that next year we’re going to need a larger mold for the concrete. Maya’s feet barely fit as it is.
