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!
