Mother's Day Retrospective

Mother's Day was delightful because...


  • I enjoyed homemade blueberry pancakes -- made by my wonderful husband -- with him and the kids.

  • We went to church and heard a really great message about being a mom.

  • We returned home and worked on a few projects (that I wanted to do, as opposed to having to do) with Jeff.

  • I went for a much-needed run with Bobby in the stroller.

  • We picked out flowers for the pots on the front porch.

  • I was treated to grilled steaks for dinner, as well as having the company of Jenny, James, Ethan and Chloe.

  • Jeff made ice cream sundaes for dessert. Yes, even a cherry on top.

  • I got to speak with my mom and wish her a Happy Mother's Day.

  • I took time to acknowledge and appreciate the honor I have to be a mom to Tyler, Kate, Jack, Charlie, Sam and Bobby.
