Mother's Day

Being a mother is one of the hardest jobs in the world. This all-important job comes with little or no training...

There's no license or degree to certify that

you are properly educated and skillfully

prepared to do the job.

Unlike most careers, motherhood is one full

 of emotional ups and downs. No one is

more important than those you are in charge

of. Every mistake, slip-up, or decision can

have you wondering and second guessing

yourself, your motives, and your expertise.

You may long for peace and instead get pouting and rebellion.

When difficult times seem overwhelming

and you wonder whatever possessed you to

become a parent in the first place,

remember...the answer is love.

It's love that will see you through every

heartache and worry. Love will soothe,

kiss, and hug away fears and sadness.

It's love that is balanced with discipline

and caring, humor and responsibility, love

that can say no when it's the best answer

and yes whenever possible. This kind of

love never disappears, even when everything

else seems to, because the love of a

mother is the only kind guaranteed to be

unconditional and never-ending.

I copied this straight from my Mom's Mother's Day card :) I thought it was a BEAUTIFUL poem for a beautiful mother. Thank you so much Mom for being such an amazing mother. God has truly blessed me with such a strong, fun, kind, beautiful, hard working, selfless (and much more) Mom. Thank you for always being there for me, through every stage of my life.




The beginning of your life as a Mommy

Me & my Mommy

And now the journey of being a Nana begins. After 2 long days in the hospital, and you not leaving my side, we welcomed Riley Jeremiah into the world on March 4, 2003 at 11:54 AM

On April 14, 2007 you were the mother of the bride.

After a scary delivery, and a huge surprise, you were right by my side as we welcomed Jack Douglas into the world on June 17, 2006 at 6:23 PM

You believed in me when I decided to go back to school to take Continuing Care.

...and a Nana again! We welcomed Parker Thomas into the world at 1:30 PM on September 24, 2009.

Nana's world...her grand"babies"
