I LOVE Mothers Day

Wow, I really do! I had a great one, except for the blocked milk duct that I got and managed to clear today(thanks Claire!). The day started with yoga, my first class since Loic. It was wonderful and a bit scary to feel how different my body is, how much heavier and stiffer. But, also, how fuctional it still is despite, you know, everything baby related that's happened to me this year.

After yoga, I met Rafer and Loic at the Ballard Farmers Market. We did our weekly shopping among the HOARDS of folks. I love it, for the vendors, that it gets so crowded, but for us, it sucks! Especially with our obnoxiously huge BOB stroller. After the market Rafer made lunch for us (step brother Jason and my mom came over). We ate eggs with leeks and bay, Tall Grass fresh baguette, Bainbridge Creamery camembert style goat cheese, and a simple salad with tender greens. Oh, and we split a cinnamon roll too. Oh, and Rafer made lattes also.

Then, mom put Loic down for a nap (it was a breeze-YAY!) and we all went outside to garden. We got a ton done because Loic slept for like 2.5 hours! I think he was tired after his late night yesterday...we went to the Mariner's game and he got really into watching the crowd. He prefers to watch the play at home on our kinda big screen TV.

And, to top it all off, our friends Jean Jacques and Rochelle had us over for dinner on their rooftop deck. AND we grubbed: asperagus soup, pate, grilled mackerel, and bahn mi sandwiches with duck. And, of course we had delicous wine and Hite beer (Korean). Wow.

Now, it is getting late, the babe is sleeping and we will watch an episode of 30 Rock before nodding off. What a day. Of course, the best part is Loic, our reason for the season.
