My Mom and My Girl

Two of the most special people in my life are my mom and my girl!

I get to celebrate them both tomorrow!

Today is G's birthday and tomorrow is Mother's Day. My heart is overflowing with love as I celebrate with the two of them.

G is 35 today. She is married to a great guy and has these three beautiful baby girls! She is blessed with beauty and talent and the desire of her heart is for her family to know and love Jesus. She has the most precious, sensitive heart and I'm so very proud of her!

My mom is amazing! She is in her late seventies and looks twenty years younger! She has the youngest mind and still substitutes in preschool classrooms. She never complains about anything and is so accepting of all of us and the things we do.

I celebrate both of you with love and fondness and the greatest admiration! Thank you for loving me so well!

Happy Everything today and forever!

Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful mom.

She is the easiest person in the world to get along with.

I never hear her complain.

She loves us all unconditionally.

Truly unconditionally.

So thankful for you mom.

I love you.

And for the three that made me a mother, I am forever grateful.

Happy Mother's Day

To Mom

"You painted no Madonnas 

On chapel walls in Rome, 

But with a touch diviner 

You lived one in your home. 

You wrote no lofty poems 

That critics counted art, 

But with a nobler vision 

You lived them in your heart. 

You carved no shapeless marble 

To some high-souled design, 

But with a finer sculpture 

You shaped this soul of mine. 

You built no great cathedrals 

That centuries applaud, 

But with a grace exquisite 

Your life cathedraled God. 

Had I the gift of Raphael, 

Or Michelangelo, 

Oh, what a rare Madonna 

My mother's life would show!"

--Thomas W. Fessenden

Happy Mother's Day Mom.

I love you.

My Mom

My mom is 75. I am amazed at how youthful she is. Not just how youthful she LOOKS...(though she looks great), but, how youthful her mind and her spirit is. She can *hang with the best of us* and she texts like a 16 year old. She has directed a preschool for over 30 years and can decorate a house like *nobody's business*. She is always dressed as *neat as a pin* and is NEVER and I mean NEVER late to anything. She returns all her texts and phone calls, (even though some of US aren't that great about doing so :) ) and never forgets a birthday in the family. She loves Jesus and my daddy and all of us *more than life itself*. I am proud that she is my mother and so very thankful that I still have her here to love.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Love Being A Mom

It's obvious that I love being a nonny.

But, I sure do love being a mom too!

Daughter, husband and grandgirls:

Youngest son and wife:

It is one of my greatest joys....being a mom to these people.

Thank you for the privilege of being your mother.

You ALL make me proud.

I love you.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

I love that you are my mother.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day Gift

E.C.'s dad took her to make a Mother's day gift for her mom.
He thought of Nonny too! I love it!

Mother's Day Weekend

I am so thankful for the privilege of HAVING and BEING a Mother. We have had a busy weekend with family. Our hearts are full to overflowing ....and we have pictures galore!

We started off our Saturday with B's graduation and tried to get a little energy out of E.C. first:
Graduation was so meaningful to us for B.

Thank you kids because YOU are what MAKE Mother's Day for me.

And thank you MOM for teaching me by example about being a mother.And of course, this baby girl makes me happy:

Happy Mother's Day!
Isn't God good ?
