Mother's Day

I was greeted this morning with breakfast in bed delivered by my four favorite men.  Then they showered me with handmade gifts.  (Most of these I had already seen because they were too excited to wait for Mother's Day.) 

The one gift that I wanted more than anything was a beautiful picture of my boys and I, where all four of us are looking at the camera and smiling and demonstrating a perfect moment of cooperation to be captured for all of time.  Of course, this wish was not to be granted.  But we got sorta close.  Sorta.

Cole promised me this morning that I could have the entire day off because he and Chase are going to take care of everything.  I plan to hold him to this, including having him clean up after dinner and give Caden his bath.  (Sorry, Caden.  I'm not sure how this will go for you.)

Happy Mother's Day to all of my wonderful mom friends out there.  Especially to my Shanna, one of the VERY best moms that I know...you inspire me by the kind of mom that you are.

A very special Happy Mother's Day to Gammy and Gramma.  Gammy, I appreciate your friendship so much, especially your listening ear and words of advice (even if I don't always follow it, mainly regarding kitchen appliances.)  I would be so lonely without you.  And Gramma, there are no words to describe how grateful I am for everything you do for us.  You are amazingly generous to my boys and I, and we are so lucky to have you.  Thank you to both of you for everything you do to help Chad and I raise up these boys.  Love you, ladies!

And last but not least, thank you to my wonderful husband for giving me the job of being a mom to three amazing and adorable little boys.  I also want to publicly thank you for your Mother's Day gift to me, but I don't want to publicly declare what it is, lest my friends start to think I'm super spoiled.  Love you and respect you, Chaddy!
