Mother's Day on Friday

They wanted to know what I wanted for Mother's Day.
 I asked for lunch downtown with my kids.
 
Amy and Adam, my handsome and personable kids
 
We went to Lucca's in the East Village across the river from downtown Des Moines.
Apart from all of their usual companions, I was able to see who they really are.
Delightful. Refreshing. Lively and enthusiastic.
 
Centerpiece
 
 
 
Lucca's was a delight as well. Modern Italian, my salad was made with mixed greens, cucumber, carrot, tomato, chicken and bacon shreds with a feta-creamy parmesan dressing.
 
Mostly, I feasted on my beautiful children :)

Landon is 8!

Well, not quite yet.
 This year his birthday falls on Mother's Day so celebrations
have been rearranged to accommodate everyone.
The "big party" will happen today at an indoor playground with friends.
 
This pic was taken at a "little party" at Grandpa Al and Nana's house.
