Guenthers were once in Seattle...: Mom, Mom, Mom

Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful Mom who never missed a moment to tell me how smart I was, how beautiful, how good at the thing I was doing at the time. I didn’t deserve every compliment but she doled them out anyway and she was as good a salesperson as I’ve ever met because I believed her. To this day, I think I can do and be absolutely anything I want. I’m so grateful for that gift.

2 good trips this month- one to Paris and one to Cabo San Lucas. Paris for work (seriously) and Cabo for a much needed vacation with Mike. I’ll post some pictures of both when we get back from the latter because tonight I just want to post some pics and a fun video of my Mother’s Day weekend.

I am absolutely smitten with these boys! I can’t properly express how much fun we’re having. Greyson is looking out for Graham just like he promised me before Graham was born… “I won’t eat ‘em and I won’t squish ‘em”.

Greyson is a sports-kid these days. He gets home from baseball and wants to play baseball. I’ve been fielding his hits, throwing grounders and playing catch with him. I feel like a kid again.

Graham is pure joy. I am so completely in love with this child!

In short, my Mother’s Day was a glorious one. I stayed in my pajamas until dinner time and only changed because I thought the neighbors might stop over. We played all day. It felt like Christmas. I’m heartbroken to be leaving them tomorrow but ecstatic that Mike and I are heading to sun, 90 degrees and a week with our friends, the Mullens. Marita isn’t going to know what hit her because it’s been SO LONG since I’ve been able to chat with a girlfriend who knows me inside and out.

And speaking of girlfriends, one of my favorite Seattle-area friends is learning the art of photography. She took pictures of the boys a couple of weeks ago for fun and for free (for free!). She posted the best ones to her blog. I adore them and I adore her. Click Here to see how good she is. She captured their spirits in these photos.

And a few more weekend pics for your viewing pleasure. Tomorrow we’ll be sipping margaritas by the pool. Au revoir, I mean Adios!
