Mother's Day Weekend

 It's been a great Mother's Day Weekend!  Friday morning when I took Emma to school, she gave me the present she made: a mug with her hand prints on it.  She has since used it multiple times for her drinks because, although she made it for me, she made it.  So ...
Friday evening we came home to a package from Grandma: pics from recent visits, clipboards, stickers, notepads ... all the good stuff.  Happy girls!
Yesterday we slept in, I went to the gym, we ran a couple errands, ate at a restaurant that everyone agreed upon (win!), and then enjoyed the afternoon by the pool.
Today we headed to Arlington to watch the Rangers beat the Oakland A's.  Our cheap seats were actually in the shade, which was awesome!  We enjoyed lots of overpriced treats and drinks, and had a great afternoon together.  Emma had been waiting for the 7th Inning Stretch to sing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" and it did not disappoint.  Another highlight for both girls was the wave that traveled around the stadium a number of times! 
 Emma and I took selfies when Steve and Sara went out in search of snacks.  At the ballpark today they were giving away these cute Rangers scarfs!  I had to take it off after a while because I was sweating, but I'll definitely wear it again. 
 Apparently Sara was in charge of her own selfies.
Everyone is tired after the game, so it's been a relaxing evening at home.  Probably one of the more important things I've done in a while happened tonight: I posted this gofundme page for Melissa and Adam, who are starting their adoption journey.  Please consider sharing or donating!  I am so hopeful that, soon, Melissa will also get to celebrate Mother's Day as a mom!
