Happy Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's Day in San Diego. My older brother, Mark, flew in from Colorado on Saturday and we were treated to homemade gyoza that night. On Sunday morning Mark, Tessho and I treated my mom to a pancake breakfast at home. It was so good. We had panckaes, sausage links, bacon, fresh strawberry topping and whipped cream. I realized we forgot to cook eggs that night. Oh well, it was still all really good. But most of all, it was nice to be with family and now that I'm a mom I really do appreciate my own mother. I actually had fun picking out Mother's Day cards for my mom, Tessho's mom and Tessho's grandma. I couldn't believe that they had a "Great-Grandma" card. It was cute so I had to buy it. It had a brown bear holding a shiny red heart. I'm so happy that Tesshin is fortunate to have 2 sets of grandparents and even a great grandma. It's these special days that reminds me how lucky he is. It's also nice that he's starting to say "Baachan" and "Jiichan". I'm sure it's confusing for him because he's got just one "Mommy" and "Daddy" but he's got to remember 3 Baachan's and 2 Jiichans. Father's Day will be here in no time. I have to start thinking of what to do for Tessho.
