Groove is in the heart

#MothersDayMoments ... that's what we did this year. We collected all of the moments that made up mothers day this year & posted them to twitter. It was a bitterly cold day which started with me having an EPIC lie in .. thanks Daddy Lewis. I was woken up by two presents being shoved in my face and a little face saying "open it Mummy Lewis" .. how could I resist! My little shopper had done well, he got me a CD that I'd asked for & a peppa pig book, what the chuff do I want with a peppa pig book I asked .. the reply "read it mummy".

After a leisurely cup of tea & a bit of cereal we decided to head out to the park before hitting my favourite place for brunch. I can't tell you how cold it was here in Bristol, we all had 3 layers on & we were all cold to the bone. It didn't make for the warmest trip to the park but nevertheless we found a new park in Windmill Hill which was lovely! We will definitely re-visit. Its a shame I didn't take a photo of the view, because it was so pretty up above all the roof tops looking over the coloured houses of Totterdown.

After no more than 10 minutes we decided to make our way to Banco lounge. I love this place, the eggy, bacon stack with maple syrup is scrumdiliumptious! We bumped into some friends who were also brunching but to avoid any tantrums from their little girl & our little munchkin we sat apart which was OH SO STRANGE! still it worked & they were both well behaved. 

It was too cold to stay out after lunch so we headed home, my little man decided to fall asleep in the car, so he had a snooze on the sofa, promptly followed by a snooze by the old man. I had an hour of uninterrupted bliss so I made myself a cuppa & read a magazine! Lovely.

Following our snooze, we decided to try & blow some cobwebs away & met up with my family in law on the river. Evan absolutely adores his elder cousin Matilda ... she is so sweet with him, holding his hand as they walked along. Evan & Tilda on the river It breaks my heart that we won't be able to give him a sibling ... it's these times which hurt me the most. I was brought up as an only child for 10 years, so know how it feels. I know he'll be fine, but it would be nice if he had some company. I can't allow myself to dwell on that for too long, it is what it is & we are beyond blessed to have our little man in our lives ... one day I may tell you the story as to why Evan will be an only one but for now, lets just soak up the love that I felt on Mothers Day. When I asked Evan "who's the best?" he said "Mummy" & that's good enough for me! 

Happy Mothers Day to all you beautiful mamas out there  x x
