May 10th was memorable for many reasons. J turned 30 and 1/2 (okay....that's pretty lame...no one celebrates half-birthdays), celebrated her first Mother's Day as a Mommy herself and got the greatest Mother's Day gift EVER.
The day started off very well. Daddy let Mommy sleep in by tending to Norah. When Mommy woke up and came downstairs, Norah had the greatest surprise for her: For the first time, Ms. Norah Belle pushed herself up with her arms and lifted her head. Now, for those of you who do not have children, you may be thinking: "So. What's the big deal about lifting up on your arms to lift your head?!?!" Well, let me just tell you that this is a MAJOR accomplishment as far as baby-milestones go, and to have Norah do it on Mother's Day made it all the sweeter. (the picture is blurry...but we had to post it to capture the moment).
After a wonderful breakfast of bacon, eggs and toast (made perfectly by Dan), Mom and Dad just generally chilled out, took a walk with Norah and Angus and capped off the day by having a great dinner of Chinese food with Grandma and Grandpa. What fun!
J's first Mother's Day was made special for one more reason. As most of you know, J's mother, Mamma Craig, passed away 10 years ago this October. The last Mother's Day Mamma Craig was alive, J bought her mother a shirt that said "World's Greatest Mom". J kept this shirt with the intention of wearing it on her first Mother's Day as a Mom. It was worn with pride; in honor of Mamma Craig...and her new granddaughter.
We love you all,
D&J

How sweet that you wore your mom's t-shirt. I can't believe it's been 10 years already!
How is the little one? She's looking good. We are getting excited to FINALLY meet her!
