Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day, a day late...yeah. I didn't touch the computer yesterday, except for about 5 minutes just before bed! What a fabulous day it was. I am most thankful that Mother's Day feels much like every other day, which is great, because I feel loved and cherished and appreciated by my husband and kids...I really don't need a hallmark holiday for that! It is, however, an excellent excuse to spend time with friends whose moms live far from them, too! So, what started as us having lunch with the Pastor's family (making the lunch count 6), ended up with us having lunch with the Pastor's family, the Youth Pastor's family, and Joyce and her dad! This made the final lunch tally 12 (13 if you count Esther Rose..)!! We had lunch at a local Chinese place we like and laughed a lot with our precious friends...mostly over the antics of the guys on their trip to Uganda! So here are the pics from Mother's Day!
This is actually at Sunday School..Gramma Joyce is missing her grandson, so she managed to get her baby fix today! In fact, I ate an entire meal with 2 hands and Esther Rose still got held for the whole thing! Gramma Joyce, you are a delight to our family!
This is Joyce's dad, Mr. Klein. He had lunch with us. This is his first Mother's Day without his wife, but I think it will be memorable for a lot of other great reasons! This is the first time he got to hold Esther Rose. Isaac loves Mr. Klein. When we go out, just the 5 (6) of us, Isaac makes Mr. Klein smile from ear to ear for the entire meal! He is a sweetheart and are so glad to have him in our kids' lives!
Gavin and his mommy.
Landon and his mommy.
Cole and his mommy!
Isaac and his mommy!
Someday, I will remember how impossible it can be to get a reasonably good picture of 3 three-year old boys (see Isaac's birthday post)...This is Take 1.
This is Take 2, and we decided to call it good!
The gang! from left to right....Joyce, Mr. Klein, Josh (our new youth pastor), Landon, Heather (our youth pastor's wife), Gavin, Bert, Amanda, Cole, Zeb, and Isaac...My wallet is sitting in my spot and Esther Rose is in Gramma Joyce's arms!
Thank you friends for making Mother's Day so much fun!
Now we just need to make plans for Dad's Day in another month!!!
