This Mother's Day was so much fun for me! Chris asked what I would like to do and I said go to the zoo in Waco! I really wanted to do something as a family and had heard that this was a great zoo, so I said, let's go! Since I was already in Dallas, Pearce and I met Chris in Waco Sunday morning. The only problem we ran into, was that the zoo didn't open until 11:00 and we got there a little before 10:00...oops! So, Pearce and I just went to McDonald's and got breakfast and he played, no big deal!
Then we finally headed to the zoo. Pearce got in free because of his age and I got in free because it was Mother's Day...score! We just followed the paths and it was just perfect. There was a nice cool breeze and it was overcast. Pearce walked pretty much the entire time. He was so happy just walking ahead of us and stopping when we got to an animal. He kept saying "I not ready to go hone." The otter exhibit was really cute because you could see them swimming and then there was a clear tube slide that went through their enclosure which Pearce did over and over! We stopped for a drink and a push up, and then went to find Dumbo. Pearce kept asking where was Dumbo, so when we finally got to the elephants, he was so excited. It was fun, because the elephant was right by the edge of the fence, reaching over to get leaves off of the trees. When we finally convinced Pearce to move on, he got a leaf off a tree and took a little nibble like "Dumbo!" Chris took Pearce to the gift shop at the end and told Pearce he could pick out one animal....he said he wanted "Simba." Pearce sure does love his Disney movies! That night, Chris gave me my card and two gift cards. I LOVED my card and started crying. Chris signed it from him and Pearce and Otis and Sissy :) Thank you Chris for a wonderful Mother's Day and thank you Pearce for making me your mommy. I love you both!
"Your love makes me feel like I could take flight. It helps pick me up when I don't land quite right. It makes me feel safe anytime, day or night..."
"I'm so glad you love me with all of your might!"
So glad you all were able to have a "family day" on Mother's Day! I agree with Pearce and Chris -- you are a wonderful mother! Look at that smiling little face. He knows he is treasured and loved. I know I am one lucky grandmother to have a boy like him! Love you all.

Your Mother's Day Card made me "cwy." Pearce loves the animals. What a great day for him. Being a Mother brings so much joy and a few tears, but nothing gives me more pleasure than to see our girls with their children. Love, Mama and Papa
