I love this Mother’s Day card Emma made me (with a little help from her dad). I think her portrait of me is fabulous. I think it’s hilarious that she included Dada among Mama’s kids. Mike said that after she drew Johnny she looked at it for a minute, and then said “Johnny look kinda like [Mike from] Monster’s Inc”. Lily is Baby #3 (due this summer).
I’ve had a lovely Mother’s Day, in spite of a sick Johnny. Mike mopped all the floors for me yesterday, and this afternoon we successfully wedged three car seats into the back of our car. We don’t even have to slam the door, but getting them in was quite the ordeal, so I think the car seats will stay there even though Lily isn’t due to arrive for many weeks. At least this way Johnny and Emma can get used to sitting next to each other.

That’s such a sweet card! I can see the resemblance with Mike from Monsters Inc. I’m pleased you had a lovely Mother’s Day :)
What a nice Mother’s Day card! I personally feel torsos are overrated. Great job, Emma! :-)
To fit three carseats across the back seat of our car, we bought one slimline Combi Coccoro and were able to make that work with our two Eddie Bauer carseats. I don’t actually like the Eddie Bauer seats, but they’re what we have. The Coccoro looks really comfortable, even for a newborn, but a little small for an older child. I know Radian makes slimline seats that are supposed to be great for older kids but not so good for rear-facing. I paid $152 instead of the list price of $199 for the Coccoro by buying it from Babycatalog.com – it was on sale and then I had a 10% off coupon code…
Johnny does look a lot like Mike from Monsters, Inc.! I would love to know more about how you fit 3 car seats in your car. We’re going to have to figure that one out in the next few months.
Cute card! Emma does draw really well for her age. =)
I got a “we love mommy” shirt with their handprints. I love it.
Emma draws really well! What an adorable card!
Hope you had a great Mother’s Day. Have a great week ahead.
Mike

The picture of you really is so wonderful.
I love that your husband is listed with the kids too!! Our sons really are living parallel lives – both sick now.
Happy Mother’s Day to you! Those are some cute drawings. I’ll have to post mine soon. :)
Love the drawings! I got a couple this morning but my camera died!! UGH! Happy Mother’s Day!
