This week was my first Mother's Day as a Mother. It was my husband's first Mother's Day without a mother. It has been a week of little moments in our house.

My husband celebrated his birthday this week. There was cake, phone calls and many moments taken to remember his mother, who loved birthdays.

This week Little e taught us about innocence as she played with her Dad's chocolates. She sorted them, put them in and out of the box. She was having so much fun and it was wonderful to watch. It took 3 days until she realized that she could unwrap them.

It has been a watershed week in so many ways, with events marked not just by those who share them with, but also those who we have shared them with in the past.
