First Mothers' Club

A Happy First Mothers' Day cheer is in order for several friends of ours. Kathleen, your beautiful boy makes me grin with each new picture posted, reminding me of my own little ones from not-so-long ago (though they change so fast that is seems to have been forever since they weren't running around and jabbering my head off). Heidi, I'm sorry your day was spent sickly, and I hope you're well again soon. Your little one is such a joy, and his smile is infectious.

And to a number of new moms, who are less likely to frequent this place of mine. Amanda, Meredeth, Ambre -- A Happy Day to you as well. And I can't forget Kayla. You may not be there quite yet, but I think you're as official as a mom needs to be.

You mothers all do amazing things. I can't imagine my life without my own precious family, and my wonderful wife is the glue that keeps us tightly together (I was also considering other less cliché metaphors that had to do with Ritalin, Xanax, and Valium in place of the glue, but I thought they were less appropriate).

...

Oh. You may also be wondering what's up with my painfully poor performance in blog publication. I'm not sure if its writer's block, a lack of time, or a lack of motivation, but I suspect it's a bit of each. I'll try to catch-up soon.
