A Happy Mother's Day


Dear Lord,
Thank you for the blessing of each of my five children.  Each one enriches our lives in his/her own unique way.  They teach me, on a daily basis, how to love on greater levels than ever before.  They challenge me to be better person.  And they show me the beauty of your great love!  For this, I am ever grateful!  Please help me to never forget what a precious gift each one is and to cherish every moment with them.  Guide me as a mother to them, so that I may teach them your love through my words and actions.  And finally, thank you Lord for my own mother, grandmothers, mother-in-law and grandmothers-in-law.  Their selfless, loving example is such a blessing.  Please bless each of them especially today.  Through the intercession of Your Blessed Mother I pray, Amen. 

Grace's class hosted a Mother's Tea.  They sang a couple songs and then served us tea and strawberry shortcake.  It was so sweet and special to spend this time with Grace.

We even released the butterflies which they had grown from caterpillars!
Henry's class also hosted a Mother's Tea.  The sang "I Love Mommy" and "Peanut Butter Choo Choo."  Henry was just beaming and tapping his foot to the beat the whole time.  Soooo sweet, it just melted my heart!

This was my Mother's Day gift from Nicholas….love it!!!!

On Saturday of Mother's Day weekend, Grace and I went to the Tea with Beatrix Potter at Barrington Hall again this year.  Grace and I both enjoyed walking the gardens there most of all, but the whole event was great!

On Mother's Day we went strawberry picking as a family.  It was a great time!  I'm not sure who ate more strawberries that day, Samuel or Henry!
