Mother's Day!

I just love Mother's Day! Not only because of my own two little ones, but because it gives me the opportunity to shower my own Mom with a little extra attention! It also reminds me of the time I spent with my Grandma and how fun it was to be with the two special ladies of my life while growing up! I don't recall ever doing anything super spectacular but it was a day we celebrated none the less. It also reminds me of a song my Mom used to sing to me while I was growing up. Minus the music, it went a little something like this...
"M" is for the million things she gave me.
"O" means that she's only growing old.
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me.
"H" is for her heart of purest gold.
"E" is for her eyes of love-light shining.
"R" means right and right she'll always be.
Put them all together they mean MOTHER.
A word that means the world to me!

Ironic how this never used to be a tearjerker to me when I was younger. Add two kids and some life experience and BAM...tears! However, not hard if you know me! :o)

Okay, back to Mother's Day. With Uncle Chris and Auntie Joni still in town, we decided to ditch the crowds and take our lunch to the park. I know Mom was absolutely thrilled to spend the day with both of her kids. Ironically, I was just as lucky! :o) Oddly enough I don't have any pics of the Mom's but here are some kids enjoying more of their visit from the Minnesota Bonnells!
