Happy Mother's Day!!

Ok, ok.. I could have a pity party because I don't have a handsome hunk of love to wake me up with breakfast in bed and handmade kid crafts...but instead I am having a peaceful morning enjoying the fact that my family is healthy, safe and for the most part happy!  Motherhood is such a blessing and I truly have to thank Michael on Mother's Day for giving me three sweet children to call my own..it wouldn't have been possible without him! 

The kids made some wonderful crafts at school and we Skyped with Michael this morning so it has been a wonderful day already! I just wish the kids understood "sleeping in" :)  I bought a couple of bunches of Gerbera daisies for Will's party and consider them my Mother's Day flowers...Gerberas are so vibrant and beautiful ~ bursting with color, delicate yet hardy and truly spirit lifting -- I love fresh flowers!

My mom is here for the weekend, it's nice to see her having fun with the kids and the kids getting to know their Grandma.  Jake especially loves his Grandmas -- he asks about them daily -- where they are, where they sleep, he'll see a car that looks like theirs and say "Hey that looks like Grandma Teddy's jeep" or "Hey, Grandma Susan has Daddy's car" -- he's just so loving! 

I thank GOD for giving me a wonderful family to celebrate this Mother's Day with.  I'll be grilling some bbq chicken for my Mom & Mother-in-law today, it's just the little things that make the day that much sweeter!
