Mother's Day

Mother's Day is tricky for me. I feel a lot of guilt. I should make it more about the wonderful mothers in my life and the lives of my girls. I should be sad for those close to me who want to celebrate this day for themselves and can't. I should, I should, I should.

Today, I made it about me. Rather, my little family made it about me.

 Brian gave me the best gift - seriously so thoughtful and awesome! - but I can't post it here or husbands everywhere would be in trouble.  Then I got to go to church with my family. My girls had the CUTEST matching dresses, thanks to Aunt Jenifer, and we had friends over for dinner. The whole day was just lovely. 

I hope yours was, too.
This is the card Zoey brought home from school for me. I laughed (see the first two) and then I bawled (see the last one). It just made me feel, for a moment, that maybe I am doing SOMETHING that matters. That was a great gift.
I just wanted one nice picture. JUST ONE. We took 21 pictures. Zoey poses for EVERY picture now and Kaia squints for EVERY picture now. It makes for awesome pictures. Totally awesome.

I love that your name is Mommy and you are 7 years old. So cute! Also, Kaia's squint is hilarious. Maybe not so much when you are trying to get a nice photo, but ... well, it's cute.
