Mother's Day

My internet connection was down for awhile so sorry this Mother's Day blog is so late in coming.
Mother's Day weekend was very special. On that Friday, there was a surprise retirement party at the school for my mom. Some of her old students put on a program that was so touching and meaningful. I think we all cried, and of course my mom cried too. The students said such amazing things about Mom not just as a teacher but as a "friend" that always listened to them and was caring! That is definitely the woman we know as Mom or Boppie to the grandkids. She is such a blessing from God.
On Saturday, my aunt Anne, uncle Pat, Nanny, cousin Jay and his wife Rebecca came over for a family cookout. We had a good time of family fellowship and the kiddos of course had a ball.
Mother's Day seemed so much more special to me this year than last. I'm not sure why considering the last one was "my 1st", but maybe because Parker was only 2 mo. old and I was still in a "fog" or who knows why. But this one was great. I got a little emotional on Sunday morning, thinking about the awesome gift God gave me of being a Mom and what a huge task I have to live up to. But I am truly blessed with a beautiful little boy that makes my heart smile every single day.
Check my sister's blog out for more pictures, I was chasing around a very active 14mo. old so I didn't get as many shots as I would have liked. You can get to her link from the site on the left of my blog page.
