Mother's Day

My girlfriends and I  continued a Boulder Mother's Day tradition and ran a 10k in the morning and then had brunch at our house with the dads and kids.  It was a gorgeous day (80+ degrees!) and the food that the dads coordinated and served was tremendous (Craig Willert's green chile casserole was beyond extraordinary).  I spent the late afternoon in bed with the NYT and then took a walk to our new house on Pine Street.  It felt great to wear the badge of motherhood so conspicuously and joyfully throughout the day in celebration of something that has become so routine and essential to my life that I often forget the magnitude or the significance of this long, fun, hard, twisting path of being Mom.
