Wonderful Weekend

We had a wonderful time with family this weekend as we celebrated the birthdays of Seth, Ross and Teri, then on Sunday we had a super Mothers Day. Here are a few pictures of the kids at the house before leaving for the party:

Bret and Becca hosted a wonderful party to celebrate the birthdays of Seth, Teri and Ross who are all entering a new decade!

On Sunday we attended the unveiling for Grandma Helen. The kids and I shared stories with each other about our special times with her. Then, after enjoying a wonderful brunch with Bubie, PopPop, Aunt Teri, Uncle Jamie and Hollie the kids and I spent a quiet afternoon together at home where they showered me with the most wonderful gifts! I received a coupon book from each of them along with beautiful cards they made and things they made in school. Among my favorites, were some things the kids wrote for me.

This one says: I love my mom because she takes me for ice cream

My mom is special because she takes me to the playground.

It is such a complete honor and privaledge to be a mom to two such amazing and loving children. They are such a blessing to me.

Finally, in honor of my mother, we sent food baskets to the mothers in Guatemala whose children we sponsor. I hope they enjoyed their mother's day as much as I did!!
