Mother's Day at the ZOO!

This day was incredible in every way. I was showered with love by my sweet husband; he had some very special things for me and a letter to me that I will always cherish.
And our loving girl makes me melt... kisses from her are so precious.
Cody and I had a date at this zoo 10 years ago, and it has always been one of my favorite memories... today was surpassing.
She LOVED the zoo; I was surprised that she recognized the animals and delighted in watching and pointing to them for as long as we'd let her.

The parakeets were a BIG hit!
The baby panda was sooooo unbelievably cute. Can you see him over Mae's shoulder?

They have a petting zoo and Mae liked meeting the goats.

There are no words to express the feeling I had this day. I am still astonished that we are the parents of this remarkable and beautiful girl... I celebrate being Mae's mom every moment. Today was certainly a memorable and momentous day!
