Mother's Day without Mom

All the firsts without someone are hard. A first mother's day without a mom is exactly that. We carried on the tradition of doing the Race for the Cure. It was on the Saturday before Mother's day this year and it was a lovely morning. Was also my first "race" as a survivor, so that made it more emotional too. Wyatt had a basketball game, so him & Fred missed the walk but we did all convene a the Cheesecake Factory (the boys' favorite part of the tradition).

Boys found some cheerleaders.


Such a model.

On Mother's Day Sunday, Fred and boys went up to celebrate with his mom & I took the day to wallow.

Girls Getaway 2024

 My year to plan and we headed to Portland Oregon to check out the waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. We also made a trip to the coast on a windy, rainy day. But we had fun regardless!
