Happy Mudder's Day!

Freya is literally calling today "Mudder's Day," and it has been a pretty sweet one around here. She made me a little plaster-of-paris heart-shaped plaque with her handprint in the center of it--a perfect token of a two year-old's wishes to her mommy. So you know I'll be cherishing that one forever.

I was served a great breakfast, then we went and ran some errands. Freya took a nice nap (a gift in and of itself), and Matt and I continued the war against our ugly back yard. We've got a contractor coming this week to extend our patio. We want to get it done before the Coloradans and the K9 Kontingent arrive for Memorial Day weekend, so that we can have a nice barbeque or two out there. We planted our tomatoes and peppers and potatoes and 14 basil plants, and we are hoping for a better harvest than last year. It's easy to be optimistic at the beginning of the growing season.

Matt made homemade pizza for dinner, and then we had a cake that he and Freya baked for the special day. You can see quite a bit of the frosting on Freya's face in the video below, where Freya and I kind of recap the day.

We hope everyone out there had a great Mother's Day--we're sending lots of good thoughts and love to you all.

Casey, Matt & Freya
