Mother's Day

The day began early when a flash of light woke me up to see Joel standing in front of me with the camera.  Then a parade of kids walked into the room carrying a trey with food and cards that made me cry, some gifts that were homemade and some from the store. 

Joel and Caden gave me  this little number.  I am very excited to use it!

 Now I don't have to sneak his Garmin anymore.

Chloe's Kindergarten class had a Mother's Day Tea Party on Friday that was delightful.  She made me the cutest cards and bookmark.
Hailey made a beautiful placemat flower with tissue paper and Coelton went right to my weakness...
Guiradelli Milk Chocolate! 

I am so thankful to be a Mother.  Ever since I was a little girl I wanted to be a Mother!
 I was still putting my dolls to bed when I was in Jr. High.
 I am so blessed with good, healthy children.  I love them so much. 

It hurts me to see them grow up and prepare to leave the nest. 

I am learning that this is the next step to their progression, and I need to embrace it.

For my Mom:  I miss you everyday!  Oh, how I miss you.
"All that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my Angel Mother.--Abraham Lincoln 
Happy Mothers Day Mom.  I love you.
