As I start this blog, I'm wiping away tears. I don't know if it's just cause it's Mother's Day and I love my kids so much or that I just feel so blessed to have them in my life. Probably all of the above.
Anyway, today was a nice day. My sister, Donna, & her family came down last night to babysit for us and this morning my bro in law, Rex, made us all crab/cream cheese omelets for breakfast. The conversation over breakfast included updating eachother on the new HappySlip videos on youtube and such. I decided to show my sister this new video of this young guy I've subscribed to on youtube named AJ Rafael. I came across his videos a couple months ago & have been following him ever since. Anyway, he posted a new video of him singing a song he wrote for his mom. I thought it was such a nice tribute to his mom & a great way to say Thank You to her. My sister and I could not hold in the tears...
(ok, take some time to wipe your tears...LOL) Anyway, back to the rest of the day...Jenner had to work early this a.m. and came home around mid morning. Unfortunately he couldn't join us for mass because he needed some well deserved rest. We met mom & the rest of the family at church and then headed to our Auntie's house for lunch. It always feels good to have the family just hang out even if we're just eating, watching tv or watching the kids run around...which usually all happens simultaneously. We stayed there for a couple hours then Jeremiah, Emma & I headed home to spend some time with daddy. I guess the kids & I were really tired cause we all knocked out while Jenner made dinner. After dinner we just hung out and had some quality family time.
My best gifts today (everyday) were the random times Jeremiah stopped playing just to give me hugs & kisses and the smiles that Emma gave me in return when I smiled at her. I am truly blessed to have such sweet kids.
Happy Mother's Day!
