Our Mother's Day

Yesterday was a perfect day. I woke up and, upon exiting the bathroom, was totally surprised.

This is what I saw. I have wanted this chair since I was pregnant. In an effort to be thrifty, we didn't buy it before Lydia was born, but the corner of our bedroom has been a constant reminder of the rocking chair that never was. I. love. this. chair. I haven't been so surprised by a gift in a long time. (The picture of the chair isn't the best, but the little one sitting in it--well, obviously she's a winner. I'll post a picture soon.)

We headed off to breakfast at a greasy spoon in Dripping Springs and spent the morning at Pedernales State Park. We played in the water, made rock piles, and admired the beautiful landscape. We haven't really explored Texas, and I have to admit, this made me want to get out of Austin more often.

We came home, and took a THREE HOUR NAP!!! It was amazing. A perfect, perfect Mother's Day.
