Annapolis with my favorite daughter


Hannah and I made one last trip to Annapolis to get some coffee mugs from our favorite pottery!  I also wanted to select some piece made from colored glass from a different shop to take some Maryland memories to Colorado with us.  

We had a successful day.


 Many memories at this Tavern...






 We had a beautiful, sunny day.



 Of course we had one last crab cake eggs benedict at Chick and Ruth's.

Happy Birthday Matt!


Happy Birthday to my wonderful first-born Matt!  There is so much to celebrate and encourage about this man - I hardly know where to begin.  He has worked hard to get closer to his dream of owning a gym of his own out in the sunshine state - California - and is actually moving there one month from today!  He is being bold and adventurous and going without having really anything lined up, just getting in his car and heading out there - something this mom would never have had the courage to do.  He does have income from training clients online, but the rest is up to chance and his diligence.  I am so proud of him and so excited for him.

And what a HUGE help and support he is being to us as we prepare for our move!  Not only is he taking our dog for a couple of weeks in his second story apartment in Baltimore, he is going to drive him out to us in Colorado in a car we needed to get out there!  He cannot know what a huge help this is to us, and a burden off our minds.  He has proven over and over to be a loyal and faithful and helpful son, in the way he has served us, the way he has made it a priority to pop in on special family occasions, birthdays and holidays, and if he can't be there he always is first to send a special text.  I cannot say how much I am going to miss being near to him... just can't go there without getting all choked up... but I am cheering for him all the way, and praying for a safe and happy trip as well as great success out in San Diego!  
Love you so much Matt!  
Happy Birthday!!

Celebrating Matt's birthday!


Today we celebrated Matt's birthday with a crab feast followed by a movie at iPic!!  Awesome, fun, relaxing day.  So nice to have him home and have Maryland crabs one last time.  Love my firstborn son so very very much.  He is heading out to CA soon to try and make it in San Diego - a dream for him - so excited to see him living his dream!
