I talked to my mom a couple of days ago and she put in a request for me to add a new entry post haste so her tuckus isn't the first thing people see when they come to jennanddave.com. As a belated Mother's Day gift, I'm going to do just that.

Yesterday was my first Mother's Day both being a mom and having a mom. Dave let me sleep in (which he actually does quite often because I'm the luckiest girl in the world). I slept through all of Henry's awake morning hours as well as the fire alarm going off. I woke up in time to give him his pre-nap bottle and smooch. When I came downstairs, Dave had made me raspberry pancakes and coffee. Scratch that. He made me *amazing* raspberry pancakes. Truly unbelievable. I never would have thought of putting raspberries in pancakes, but I have to tell all of you that you should drop whatever you're doing right now and make some for yourself. I want to eat them every day for the rest of my life. He also got me a scratch ticket (I didn't win anything) and a Mother's Day card, which both he and Henry signed. Dave said Henry's head nearly exploded from the excitement of being in such close proximity to both a pen and a card, but he somehow managed to hold it together to sign his name to it (with help from his Dad, naturally). It was a very nice relaxing day. Dave spent a lot of it grading and procrastinating. He managed to get through all of the stuff he needed to do *and* go to bed before midnight, which is an amazing feat. He had planned on making me a chocolate cake but I told him he shouldn't stress himself out about it because he had so much to do. He said he'd make it for me today when he got home from work, so the celebration carries on...
