Tammy's Bird Brain

I had a great weekend is sunny California with friends and my little Evakins.  The weather was beautiful and I wore shorts and sun dresses and sunglasses.  I got to eat at one of my favorite restaurants The Crab Cooker where I ate king crab claws that melted in my mouth with no butter required because they were so good.

I unfortunately forgot my camera so I only have two pictures from my blackberry and here they are:

Eva on the plane in her seat.  She loves facing forward and seeing everything.

Eva with Clint’s hat on.  She loves hats and leaves them on and she wants to be like her Dad.

I was a bit sick on Mother’s Day.  I ate a lot of kettle carmel corn and could not stop myself and my stomach was pretty mad after that but then I boarded a plane and was doomed.  But in the morning Eva snuggled me and put her head on my chest and then would look up at me and smile and then put her head back down and did that over and over so I considered it my mother’s day present and loved every second of it.

I am so grateful for my little sugar bean that has brought so much light into our lives.  She is such a happy girl and it is so fun to see her soak up the world and enjoy herself.  I love being a mom and I love the mother’s in my life.  Thank you to my mother-in-law, Michelle and Kimi who watch Eva on a weekly basis and have helped her become this amazing, happy little person and who love and care for her just like I do.  You all have helped me look like I am a great mom. I am so grateful to be able to drop Eva off with them and completely trust who she is with and they spend time with her and who teach her things;I love seeing the things she has learned from them.

I am grateful for my mom who is so brave and went to South Africa to give of herself for a year and a half and help those who need her.  I know it is hard for her to not see Eva but she is doing something tremendous so thanks Mom, I love you.

And I must mention my dear friends Colin and Ranie who adopted a baby a few months ago.  I am so glad that Ranie can celebrate this day because I know she has wanted to so badly and it has been a hard holiday for her so Ranie, Happy Mother’s Day to you!  I am so happy for you guys!

Happy Mother’s Day everyone.
