I am so thankful
to get to wear the name of Mother.
I don't think I have ever
properly introduced
my family
so since this is Mother's Day
you will have to indulge me this one time (right)
while I brag about my children.
Meet my oldest daughter Katie
with her Mr. Wonderful
and
3 (busy) boys.
She is kind, compassionate, and creative
and such a delight to me.
We have shared some hard times together;
I consider her one of my very best friends.
She can sew and garden like no other...
traits that remind me so much of my grandmother
and
definitely not from me.
since this photo shoot
Baby James has been added to Katie's brood
(I think it is almost time for another shoot)
Next in line is my oldest son, Jason
loyal, patient, hard-working
I miss having Jason at home;
he was my debater
and
my fix-it man.
I love watching him parent his batch of triplets
and being a husband to his sweet wife, Tasha.
My son, Brian
conservative and hard-working
I miss his teasing...he kept us laughing.
He is married to Sheila...
and Dad to these 2 (tractor-loving) boys,
with another one (it's a boy, too) on the way.
If you've been a long-time reader,
you know my 4th, Mrs G with her Mr. G,
otherwise known as Grace.
She is my delight.
She is creative in the kitchen and on the computer.
She is kind, determined, organized and a hard-worker.
(I'm noticing a pattern-they are all hard-working-must be because I love to work:)
I am so looking forward to meeting Baby (GIRL) G soon.
due May 25
Grace is going to be a great mother!

Abigail
This girl keeps me young, makes me laugh
and plays the most beautiful music.
She is a threat on the basketball court,
volleyball court
and
on the golf course.
She is the reason, I am still teaching algebra
and still answering the infamous question
"Will I ever use this in real life?"
She keeps me on my toes
and challenges me to live by grace.
And just because
this is my most favorite pictures of my
grandbabies.
Not pictured:
Baby James
and the two in the oven.
Thank you for bearing with me...
as I celebrate these perfectly wonderful blessings.
I have to say this is one of the most unique
Mother's Day, yet.
Celebrating is in the heart
and celebrating, I am.
