I had to get back to work to recover from my very busy (but very good) weekend!
First, on Saturday, Jay graduated with a degree in Political Science from the University of Southern Maine. The graduation ceremony was held at the Cumberland County Civic Center and was really quite nice. No lengthy, boring speeches; the keynote speaker was especially interesting.
Clover was awesome throughout the 3 1/2 hour ceremony, only fussing the tiniest bit once when she needed a very wet diaper changed. She fell asleep a couple of times and the rest of the time, we all took turns holding her (Samm, Jay's parents, Chris and I). She was able to see Daddy wave at her as he marched up for his diploma,
(It was very hard to get good pictures in there)
and she wore his cap for pictures afterward.
Sunday was spent celebrating both Mothers' Day and Jay's graduation. First thing in the morning, Samm brought me some great gifts: 
(Well, actually I received the digital keyring frame a couple days before but didn't figure it out until yesterday).
Samm and I had recently had a conversation about how certain scents invoke good memories and how she loves the way her Auntie Sherri (my sister) smells. She thought that I should have a special scent that Clover could associate with me and this is what she chose. It's a very nice, clean, and subtle scent. The digital keychain frame is really cool; it holds something like 70 pictures (I've only loaded a few so far.) I love the key chain with the "#1 Mom" tag; she said she almost bought me one that said "Hottie". She's got the same weird sense of humor that I have.
I then proceeded to give her a card from her father and I, only to have her ask a few minutes later if I had even read the card. I mistakenly gave her the card for my mother; she wondered why we signed it "Julie and Chris". Ooops.
Yesterday afternoon we enjoyed a cookout at Jay's mom's house to celebrate his graduation. It was a beautiful day, maybe a bit breezy but lots of sunshine. It was a very nice way to spend an afternoon.
Once we left the cookout, hubby and I dropped by my mother's house to give her the gift I made for her. I made her model it, since I hadn't taken any finished photos of it yet.
Looks good on her, don't you think?
Last night I watched Clover while her Mommy and Daddy went to the movies. As soon as they got home, I crashed.
After reading this, I think you can probably guess that there was barely a stitch knit all weekend; just a bit of a sock I worked on in the car on Saturday.
Have a great night!
