Three Generations

Last weekend I went home to New Mexico to visit my Mom and Grandma for Mothers day. I had not been home in almost a year and I have not spent Mother's day with my mom in well I can't even remember how long! My Mom requested a visit and since I luckily didn't have a wedding, a little schedule rearranging was all I needed to do to make the trip possible. I had a great visit and I am so happy I was able to spend time with my Mom and Grandma.

I am a third generation New Mexican.
When you don't have someone to take a picture of everyone together this is what you have to resort to! I love this photo of all of us though.

This has to be my all time favorite image of my mom and Grandma.

Grandma just turned 85 in April!

The cactus in my mom's court yard was in bloom, isn't it gorgeous?

Here's my mom with the necklace I gave her for Mother's Day.

The new growth on the cactus was amazing. Look at the little baby spikes.

Ooh that new growth is so cute. I love this image.

Its hard having family living so far away, I don't get to do the normal things you do with family on a regular basis. Even in New Mexico its hard because everyone lives at least three hours from each other. My mom and I had a great visit though. She was here in PA over Christmas but with Alma, our dog, getting sick we really didn't get to visit and do all the fun things we wanted to do. I pampered my mom for Mothers day that's for sure. We had a lovely brunch at St. Claire Winery, shopping in Old Mesilla and we had manicures and pedicures. She just moved into a new place as well and her yard/courtyard is so cute. It has a lot of tree's and cactus, its very shaded and protected which makes it so comfortable. I love her new little place.
