Here perhaps is the one photograph of Wesley and me where I don’t think I look awful — mainly due of course to the fact that most of me is hidden behind my beautiful boy and some oversized sunglasses. It wasn’t planned, but I love seeing how the pink of my shirt and the blue of Wes’ kimono contrast one another, much in the way my fair boy stands out against his dark-haired mama. I wonder how that disparity appears to the world. Even I am still surprised sometimes looking into his perfectly handsome face, and think to myself: is he really mine? He is, and my, how I love him.
Edit: And look what that beautiful boy (and, I suspect, his papa and brother Niles, too) got me for Mother’s Day, to add to my pin collection!


Happy first Mother’s Day, Lou! Wes is indeed beautiful, and the two of you complement one another perfectly.
Happy First Mother’s Day! May this be the beginning of many MANY more!
Happy Mommy Day Lou!
Happy Mother’s Day! Hope you and your boys had a wonderful day.
I hope you enjoyed your first Mothers Day! Wes is handsome!
