Happy Mother's Day!

I will keep this post simple.   No pictures.  No jokes.  Just the truth.

Emmanuel (age 3) told Eli that he needed to take him to the store so that he could pick out some earrings for me for Mother's Day.   He said, "My mom likes earrings...the dangly ones."  Eli said that he was so excited to pick out the earrings and made sure to get them in my favorite color.  He ran in the door when he got home and gave them to me (3 days before Mother's Day!)  He was so proud of his purchase.

That night, Reese said, "Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!"  And, Emmanuel proceeded to ask me questions about Mother's Day.  I said, "You know what, Emmanuel, I need to thank you."  He said, "Why?"  I said, "Because I wasn't a mom before you were born.  You made me a mom.  And I am so grateful."  He was so proud.

I'm so grateful for all of the special mothers in our lives.  We are richly blessed...

I am so proud.
