Mother's Day

I just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, Mother-in-law, Sister-in-law, Grandma, and to all the wonderful mothers out there! I am so grateful that I am now a mother because it is truly the best feeling in the world! The Eichmeier's were pretty busy this past week. On Wednesday, Grandma Diane visited after her conference and got to see Preston graduate from swim lessons. He is such a good water baby now- he even loves showers! It was also Mommy and Daddy's 3rd Anniversary on Wed, so Mommy and Daddy went out to eat at Granite City while Grandma babysat Preston. Daddy took the day off on Friday, so we traveled to Pella for their annual Tulip Time. We were afraid it was going to rain, but it turned out to be a beautiful day. We timed it just right because it started raining just as we pulled out of town. We watched the parade, ate lots of yummy food, looked at all the pretty flowers, and walked through the market shops. On Saturday we went to Babies-R-Us and got Preston two new big boy carseats since he has grown out of his baby one and lots of other stuff he needed....or wanted. Good thing we don't live that close to this store because we would definitely go into major debt! Preston does love his new toothbrush to brush all those teefers though! On Sunday, Mommy woke up to an outstanding breakfast that Daddy made which included french toast, sausages, a variety of fruit, and sweet rolls. And Preston got Mommy some flowers :) Thanks Preston and Daddy for a great Mother's Day! I love you!

I love his crying pictures next to all the flowers. It's SO darn cute!!! Hopefully we'll see you over Memorial Day if you're in Ventura at all :)
