The Mother's Day festivities begin....
with our dear friends Amy and baby Paige....
and Wendy my photography skills improve!

Hello everyone almost the end of the week, and almost Mother's Day! Today's blog is a special tribute (kind of deep I'm warning you) to Mother's as we will be gone this weekend, and I am not sure what the blogging opportunities will be. I am sorry for not blogging last night, but I was having an exhilarating evening at the Breast Cancer 3 day walk meeting with my mom! We will be doing the 60 mile walk in August and I have been reflecting on being a woman, a daughter, a grand-daughter, a sister, a wife, and now a mother. I am sure you can all relate to feeling so thankful to be all of those things and I am extremely blessed to be those things untouched by Breast Cancer, and this will be an incredible way to give back to those who are not as fortunate as I am.

Ok, on a much lighter note...what a fun day!!! Hunter had his first ride in a buggy today at Joann Fabrics, he surprisingly enjoyed it, and he didn't even try to suck on the handles! Hunter as always had fun with his friends this morning, and as you can see in the picture he is once again admiring Paige's toy, so even though my house already looks like a Day Care it looks like we too, will be getting the playhouse learning center for Hunter. Paige always has the coolest toys, I can't deprive Hunter right? Ha Ha. Not only does Amy help us out be taking such good care of Hunter, but she bought me those beautiful flowers for Mother's Day! I also have been receiving cards from so many of you, and now I know why everyone loves Mother's Day! I also am beginning to realize how as a mother you give up so many things, but it doesn't seem to matter because what you get back is so much more rewarding! I am very fortunate to have so many amazing, strong, independent, smart, hard-working, inspirational, faithful, beautiful women who are mother's in my life, thank you for being role models for me! Thank you to our mother's who have been such an integral part of making us who we are, who are now Hunter's grandmother's and will help to shape him into the amazing person I know he will someday be!
