Motherhood

Happy mother's day to all you wonderful women in my life!! I love today because Abby keeps coming up to me randomly and giving me hugs and telling me that she loves me. Liv keeps smiling and saying "it's happy mother's day mom". Here is my yearly layout in honor of this wonderful day (I must confess that I did this layout last month for a challenge at GDS and used the picture from last year, so I just popped in the new one and viola!)

To my wonderful mom who can quite often be heard saying "If the grandkids want ice cream for breakfast, they shall have ice cream for breakfast!"- you are the greatest! You give me so much love and support. Right down to last week when I was home alone with three sick kids and no milk or bread, I knew that if I called you it would be remedied, and quickly!! Thank you for being such a wonderful resource when it comes to raising my children. You always have the right answer to all of my questions. Love you.

To my most wonderful Mother-in-law Paulene- What more could I ask for!! We are two of a kind and I love that we share so many interest and hobbies and that we really understand each other and share the same high level of love for Paul and my children. My greatest memory of you (well there are a million but...) was right after giving birth to my first child Abby and my mother saying she was beautiful but different then her own, you walked into the room pulled her tenderly into your arms and said "Oh, it is one of mine!" I LOVED that, and the two of you have shared a special bond from that point on.

We love you moms, and I truly do love my opportunity to join in that wonderful calling in life. Hopefully I do my darling girls justice in raising them just as well as I and my husband have been.
Cheers!
