One advantage to having all the boys over for Mother's Day....
is that I did some much needed
housecleaning to get ready for them!!!
They don't care about the house but, I do :)
I want it to be clean, smelling fresh and always welcoming.
Sweet Brad was the only one that couldn't make it.
He had to work all day
and had tons of college homework due tonight as well.
Dennis prepared the most wonderful meal ~
chicken salad croissants,
homemade pimento cheese,
green pea salad,
hash brown cassarole,
tomatoes, onions and eggs.....
So, so yummmmmmm.
Look at this beautiful bouquet of roses, confederate jasmine
and the biggest pink peony from Brent, Emily and Clara ~
A gorgeous hydrangea bush from my sweet husband ~
I've wanted one so I can dry these beautiful blooms!!!
I have to show you, my baby ivy is growing!!!
And the sweetest gift of all....our little Clara has been taking
her very first steps!!!!
We all laughed though because she wanted the baby
cheese puffs in the can!!!!
Food is a motivator, right?

Happy Mother's Day! I am so glad that you had a wonderful Mother's Day with your family!
But little Clara - OMG - can I tell you that I have NEVER seen a baby's first steps!?! It was enough to bring tears to my eyes. Yes, seriously! Good thing Romeo didn't see me ;)
Have a great week!

Happy Mother's Day Dawn,
Your family pictures are so precious. I love the look on Mom's face as little Clara is struggling to walk. It's priceless.

Dawn, oh my...Clara's first steps on Mother's Day! A dual memory! How special is that!
I remember our 2nd daughter's first steps were when I brought our Christmas through the front door into the house. She was so anxious to see it that she actually RAN across the room!
A belated Happy Mother's Day to you and your daughter.
Blessings,
Diane
There is NOTHING ever so precious as these short moments of delight with our children and grandchildren...oh, to be able to have them all on video, like you do here! Just beatiful!
Oh Dawn,
Way to make me cry 1st thing in the morning. That little angel, those little sweet legs all woobly. I could die. And her looking back at Emily, like 'look Mamma, don't miss this'! Dennis can come cook for me anytime. He may need to soon, did you hear my voicemail? LOL The flowers are gorgeous, glad you had such a special day. You truly deserve it. BTW, those baby cheetos, we called em baby crack! My kids devoured them! Lisa
A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm. What beautiful flowers and that video of Clara walking, just takes your breath away - I really was holding my breath watching her walk those first few steps! Ciao, bella!
Sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day, Dawn! The menu sounds delicious and your flowers are gorgeous.
First baby steps is the most wonderful Mother's Day Gift for you and her Mom.

Happy Mother's Day to one fantastic and creative Lady!! Sounds like your Mother's Day was a good one! What a sweet little Clara!
What a beautiful day you had and Clara walking was just the best! Our little Chloe is just learning to crawl and it won't be long. I hope you have a wonderful Monday too.
Ohhhhhhh, that video is precious and what a great Mother's Day gift for you and Clara's Mom, to see her take her first steps...Just Awesome!
Flowers are all beautiful..

Hi Dawn,
I am so glad you had a wonderful day. The flowers were all beautiful and you so deserve all of it!
Clara looks so sweet and ready to fly. Nothing is safe now....
Talk to you soon,

Looks like you had a wonderful Mother's Day! That Clara will be off and running now and she will really keep you all busy:) Have a blessed day my friend!
So precious! Thanks so much for sharing . . . enjoyed it! I'm going to have to get my video camera ready now for my first granddaughter's first steps! You never fail to inspire me.
I'm so glad that others commented about hearing your voice, with that southern lilt. So sweet. What a gift to have Clara walking, but batten down the hatches, nothing will be safe!
Oh how sweet! The flowers are beautiful and so is baby Clara!! Aren't they just rays of sunshine in our lives?!! Going to TRY and see the video if my dial up will let me. Wish me luck!! HA! Glad you had a great Mothers day Dawn!!
Blessings~
Lovely flowers, Dawn--sounds like you had a nice Mother's Day--and oh, what a precious video! Such a milestone in a baby's and in the parents' and grandparents' lives--Have a great week!
How adorable, and the meal sounds wonderful!!
too too sweet, what a happy mother's day for you. xo
So SO Cute!! Almost just like our own Linden's first steps, baby Clara and Linden are about the same age I think. Please come and meet the editor of Romantic Homes Magazine on my blog, if you haven't already! She has her OWN BLOG now. xo xo Lidy
Gorgeous flowers!
Baby Clara is so sweet! I just hoot at her going for the cheese puffs.
It sounds like you had a wonderful Mothers Day. I am so glad. It sounds like you give so much to your family.
