Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!

First off, I would like to say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to my Momma and to my mother-in-law, Beth!

Now... I should be embarrassed to post this photo, which I just knew was going to look terrible. But when I saw it, all I could do was laugh! And it's still cracking me up! (though I was not laughing in the photo!) This was the first attempt at this year's Mother's Day photo. I think the part that gets me the most is the expression David & I are sharing. We weren't looking at each other and both ended up with exactly the same look of torture! I guess laughing about it is better than the alternative...


On a more pleasant note, David made this beautiful butterfly for me in Sunday School this morning. (And, by the way, he was so excited to go to his class this morning!!!)

He also planted seeds in a styrofoam cup last week that were starting to sprout. "Flowers for Mom."

Since the first photo went awry, I snapped a couple in the car while Dad was in Lowe's this afternoon, and was much happier with their turn out.

This evening, we spent a little time at the North Place and I got this cute "together" photo:

And finally got the dreamed of Mother's Day photo for myself. Oh, how I love my children & love being their Mom!

I just discovered that if I got paid for being a Mom, this would be my yearly salary:
