Mother's Day 2013

I am so thankful for my mom, my mother in law, and my grandmothers. As a mom now, I respect and love them even more and so grateful for the Godly woman they raised me to be and pray daily my girls will grow to be Godly women as well. Mother's Day is a wonderful day to celebrate mothers and grandmothers, but can also be hard missing grandmothers too. This year was the first without my grandmother Jo and the third without my grandmother Shoo Shoo, and it was also their birthdays this week. I truly know they are in a much better place and a much happier one, so I try to remember all the good times shared with them and also to enjoy each Mother's Day to the fullest for myself, because life is short.

My girls and hubby did a great job celebrating with me this year. We went to church with Gigi and then had a lot of fun celebrating with Gigi, Aunt Cathy, Cuz Terri, and of course Great Ama! Poor David was the only guy with seven girls, but he did great! Hopefully next year mom will be able to join in the fun too and be off for the weekend. Happy Mother's Day to all!

Love our family photos!
