Of course, Tod had to be at church early...but a Mother's Day photo is a tradition....so we resorted to the self-timer. So funny! After that, the girls decided to try their hand at photography. I thought I would end up deleting most of the pics...but I LOVE them. To me, they are the perfect representation of my life right now- on the go, slightly off-center (okay, a lot off center!), trying to stay on top of things and failing some of the time....but so extremely happy and thankful for each day!!!!
It goes without saying....I LOVE being a mother. For me, this day can be hard as I remember my own mama and wish so much she was here...but I can't be sad for too long, because I have these children to love. I can't believe they are mine. My mom gave me many gifts...among the greatest is that she LOVED motherhood and made sure that we knew it every day. I hope that my kids know this too (even when "crabby mom" comes to visit and stays a bit too long!)
