a happy mom



I am indeed a happy mom! My boys took good care of me yesterday, I even got to sleep in. The day started when I heard Harrison come into our room. I was all set to get up, then I realized that he was whispering something to Robert. They both left, and the door shut, so back to sleep I went. About 20 minutes later, I heard the front door open and I heard Harrison telling Robert to, "Cut six." Ah ha! They were cutting some calla lilies for me. A few minutes later, they came in with breakfast in bed for me. Robert told me that Harrison orchestrated the whole thing. It all started Saturday night at church, the priest called all of the moms up to the alter for a special blessing and Harrison panicked and told Robert that he didn't have anything for me. He is such a tender hearted boy, he can be very thoughtful at times. So this was his idea, dad just helped. :) I love the picture he drew of us, walking on a, "golden path". Charlie made his gift at preschool, and I love it! He gets so shy when giving a gift, I was moved to tears by both of them. I'll spare you the picture of the boys in bed with me. ;) (you are thanking me now).

We spent Saturday night with my mil, Yvonne. We went to church and dinner and exchanged gifts. She got me a beautiful Mother's daily prayer book.
Sunday afternoon the four of us went over to my mom and dad's house. My mom is a wonderful woman, and the best mom. I would never have attempted to sew if it wasn't for her. She also taught me a very important lesson about cooking that has served me well. It is, if you can read you can cook. Simple and true. She makes me laugh, and she gives the best advice. I know where to go for good, level headed advice, she doesn't let me down. She never has. I also think that she was born to be a Grammie. She is positively nuts about her grandkids, and they are about her too. Love you mom!
