Mother's Day was very special this year. The kids and hubby woke me with a lovely breakfast in bed along with their handmade gifts and cards. The kids really took an active role in making their own cards and gifts for me this year. Several times they came home from school and got down to work at their desks while telling me as I walked through the room, "Look the other way! Don't look, mom!"
Andrew's gift was very special. He designed a frame out of some old barn wood I had collected, and then had the kids make pictures for it. I love it. It is so thoughtful and mostly I like that it shows how much he knows me, knows what I like. Thank you, honey!
It is obvious I am loved by these very special people.
After church, we did some of our favorite activities together. We played chase together, did a couple science experiments together (I learned what 'density' is when not applied to my own faculties). We went on a bike ride around the neighborhood. Then, we rested and went out and had a lovely dinner together at the Blue Tractor. All day I felt love and gratitude for my family and from my family. I am so blessed.
And I can't forget to mention my own dear sweet mom from whom I learned what is to be a great mom. I love you, mom!

Where did April go?
I don't even know, except I know we had a started out in Philly for Easter. Got to have a brief visit with Granje and Zeyde and Aunt Brooke who Belle took a liking to (pictures to come...)
Annabelle started ukelele classes.
Alexis started an aerial class...
Drew came in 3rd place in the Root Beer Float (kids version of the Mud, Sweat and Beers)...and Andrew rode in the 22 mile version...
Fun and exhaustion at the park on a warm spring day playing frisbee and shooting rockets..
Random beautiful moments...

Andrew and I visited Denver once again to scope the real estate scene, because yes! We are moving to Denver this summer. What a dream come true. The house is currently on the market. We hope to get there this summer sometime before school starts. Both the kids are pretty excited and talk frequently about all the fun we will have once we live there. There are sad moments too, when we think of all our wonderful friends and family that we will be leaving. But we plan to take them with us in our hearts. We also plan to keep the condo that Grandma owns so that we can come back for visits relatively easily.
