Mother's Day

The kids did a great job celebrating Mother's Day for Tara this year. (Me? Not so much.) Jayden made a nice book at school to give to her mom, while Samantha found a board in the garage the she and Jay painted up nicely. Sam also made up a booklet for Tara, which was both touching and funny. Not wanting to be outdone, Tyler planned a nice breakfast for Tara at a French cafe, with Drew as the waiter. Upon waking in the morning, we were greeted by a fireside table at the cafe, complete with menus in both French and English. The boys made omelets, toast, and bacon for the entire family, along with milk, lemonade, or water for drinks. They even dressed up, wearing bow ties and sporting mustaches to complete the effect. All in all it was a great morning... thanks for making it special for your Mom, kids! Love you all!

Later in the day, after Samantha's soccer game, we wandered around downtown Ann Arbor for a few minutes before stopping to eat. Here are a couple of sights from our walk.

	Look... a motorized truck parked on the street.
	Wait... what's this? A Transformer?
	Sure enough, a street performer dressed as a Transformer. In truck mode he even drove around in circles!
