Happy Day that celebrates Mothers!

Happy Mother's day to all of you out there!  I'm especially excited for Erin because it's the first year that she's celebrating as a mother!  Is there anyone else out there that is a first time Mother's Day mom?

 Here's me and Mom freezing to death in San Francisco

 Mom and Jake, lookin' cute!

I spent yesterday afternoon cooking stuff ahead for breakfast this morning.  Good thing, because I didn't have too much to do this morning, which is a huge plus, because I hate being rushed while getting ready for church.

On the menu was:
Quiche 
Blueberry crepes topped with cream, strawberries and powdered sugar
Hashbrowns
Fruit salad
Fresh squeezed orange juice

We have an orange tree in our backyard (along with two mango trees - they're out of season, though), and it's my favorite thing!  I love making fresh juice.

 Jacob went out and picked some flowers for a centerpiece.  Our neighbor might have been a liiitle puzzled as to why a guy was out there with a huge handful of flowers...

  

I thought that crepes were going to be difficult to make, but they're actually super easy and fast!

  

Carey (there's another family that works here with us, and Carey's the dad of my adopted niece and nephews that I told you about) preached in Swahili today, and did an amazing job!  He's almost completely fluent.

After coming back to the house and relaxing for a while, Dad, Jacob, Luke and I went on a bike\run.  I ran for the first 1.5 miles, but then Dad wanted to run a bit, so I took over the bike, and rode it back.  Jacob and I took the dogs out for a short walk too.  

Can I just again show you how cute Panya is?

I finally did day 3 of my push-up challenge today; these are my sets:

8x1; 10x1; 7x2, 20x1

I can already tell a big difference in my strength.  How convenient that it's three days a week, and only takes a few minutes, too!

Happy Mother's Day! 

What are your plans?
