Mother's Day Moments

Mother's Day was packed full of Mom moments...with my mom, Doug's mom, and with my girls. We did brunch with my folks and supper with Doug's family. I have always loved and appreciated my wonderful mom, but now that I'm a mom I have grown to appreciate her even more. All the little things she has done for me over my lifetime have taken on new meaning. The grace she demonstrates and her servant's heart have been such a wonderful example of God's love for me and my family. Thanks for all you do and have done for us, Mom! We love you!!!

Doug and the girls gave me some beautiful perennials they had picked out. They picked out such a nice variety. I planted them last week - they were all great additions to our landscaping. They also gave me a beautiful pair of Silpada earrings Hannah and Doug picked out. My friend Kristin is now selling Silpada so I had a party a couple of weeks ago. Hannah looked through the catalog and picked out a pair of earrings for me that she really liked. Doug then looked through the catalog and ended up picking the same pair as Hannah. Great minds think alike. I love the earrings. The best thing they gave me were lots of extra cuddles and hugs...can't get enough of those. I love you, dear sweet Hannah and Ava! Thanks for filling my life with so much joy and love!!!

Doug's family gathered at our house in the evening to celebrate Mother's Day and Dad B.'s birthday. We ate a delicious supper that included a delectable dessert. Our girls always enjoy spending time with their older cousins, aunts and uncle, and of course their grandpa and grandma - who Ava affectionately calls "Ampa" and "Ama." Thanks for all you do, Mom B. We love and appreciate you too!!!
