WOW!
Yesterday was so much fun! Thank you, Ryan, for my beautiful post (that made me
cry) (twice) and for all the wishes you all sent through all the various ways.
I can’t wait to tell more about my truly special day, but I need some time to
write about it.
Meanwhile, last Sunday was Mother’s
Day, and I want to tell you about that!
As most of you probably know, I
was born on Mother’s Day, so even though the collision of my birthday and
Mother’s Day doesn’t happen often, I still have a special fondness in my heart
for celebrating the two together.
Mom and Dad aren’t able to get
out for church anymore, and their current dining room isn’t ideal for guests on
the regular, so we decided to go visit them after lunch with a special dessert.
I made the cute little strawberry
shortcake muffins and packed them into a cooler along with fresh berries and
ice cream – and bowls and spoons!
They were just finishing lunch
when we arrived, so we walked them back. My sister had visited the day before and
brought a bouquet of flowers for Mom – from all of us. I wanted to get her
picture with them, and this was her solution.
She’s so funny! We did get a
proper picture and then I about fell over backward in heels trying to kneel
down to her level for our official holiday photo. It was very entertaining.
Mom doesn’t often take pictures
anymore, but she wanted to take one of Ryan and me with dad, so I helped her
get the camera app open and she took this one:
Ryan and I gave her a card,
stayed to visit for a while, and then we headed home for jammies and a nap!
Lexi was kind enough to sit with
me for Mother’s Day, so here is our photo.
It was cold and windy, but the
sun was so pretty we just had to suit up for a Mother’s Day walk around the lake!
I treasure each year that I
still get to have Mom here with me for Mother’s Day, and this one was special,
for sure.
