Mommas' Day

Mother's day is once again upon us and, for us at least, has taken on new significance. I did a bit of checking and it seems, according to Wikipedia and other net resources, that Mother's Day is not a recently invented holiday but has its roots in ancient Greece and Rome, or 16th century England.

And even if it had been invented in 1953 the holiday is a good idea because we probably should set aside a day to give thanks to the person who birthed us, fed us and didn't leave us by the side of the road for the coyotes (even if we were brats and deserved it).

The day was made extra special by the addition of my mom Linda, her partner Ted, and my bro Ian who is back from living in Argentina for the past three years. Below, Ian shows his skills at ingratiating himself with the right people.







Then he spent some quality time with his niece.







This fun time was followed by a wonderful and heartwarming breakfast full of tender, picture perfect moments that will be remembered forever and that I entirely forgot to film. Whoops. Bad son. (Probably my mom's fault anyway).
