the birthday girl

(My Mama, Adrian, & Lauri)

Happy Birthday to my Mama!!

I love you more than you'll ever know.

I love your soft heart,

your inner kid,

your feisty ways,

and

your unselfish service to your family.

We LOVE you.

Mom, watch me!

3 birthdays for 3 special boys in 1 week.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

WE LOVE YOU.

I am finished with my first "official" senior photo shoot.

Hop on over to my photog blog

to see the rest of Maria's photo shoot.

For my Mother's Day present I forced  asked my children to let me take their pictures.

They "happily" obliged.

I am thankful to be their Mother.

To my Mother & my Mother-in-law...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Everything Mom

How did you find the energy, Mom
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.

How did you do it all, Mom,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can’t comprehend.

I see now it was love, Mom
That made you come whenever I'd call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all.

Food for the Soul

A new house & new neighbors

Charlie really wants to be part of the eating welcoming committee.

This egg doesn't belong to the new "neighbors"

These eggs do...

I like our new neighbors.

I only hope one of them doesn't wake us up every morning at the crack of dawn.
