i couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate mothers day than hanging out on the lake with my family, telling stories and laughing until it hurt. this was the first of what i hope to be many good times at the lakehouse.

i also got to see one of my best friend’s mom who came in from ohio to take her daughter and 3 of her other adopted daughters to canton for japanese food and baked goods. with a name like “pastry house hippo” i couldn’t resist taking some pictures. check out the little pig pastry – i think that’s my favorite.
