Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy mother's day to my mom, my sister, my mother-in-law, my wonderful friends, and all of those expecting mommies!! I hope everyone had a beautiful day! I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful moms! I know I never have to look far for an ear to listen or advice if I need it on raising my lovely munchkins! I have some of the best role models on mothering and I am forever grateful for them!

We celebrated my special day by going to Beijing for the weekend (I'm assuming this is a huge surprise for most of you!)! On Saturday we shopped and in the evening shared a lovely Italian meal with our dear friends. Then, off went my wonderful husband (until 4:30am) to enjoy the nightlife in Beijing, while Karen and I were content to get foot massages and share a bottle of wine!! The children must have realized it was our special day because they were so good!! On Sunday we took the boys to get their hair cut (Eens is blond again!) and then we went to enjoy a lovely brunch at The Orchard (new favorite restaurant in Beijing!)! This place is quite a little gem, nestled in a suburb of Beijing! They grow their own salad and herbs on site to use in their dishes. They also have orchards of pear and apple trees. There is a lovely lake that you can take a walk around after your meal. And best of all, the food is delicious! Even Danny was impressed and that is rare!



When I was growing up, I always dreamed of being a mommy! I love my three free spirits from the bottom of my heart and I am so thankful my dreams came true!!
