Happy Mothers' Day, moms!

Happy Mothers' Day
to all of the mothers in our lives!

Thank you to our mothers and grandmothers who care for us and love us unconditionally. They have taken time to nurture us and teach us how to be. All have sacrificed their time and comfort for us and we are both grateful and blessed!

Peggy: Rob's mom, Ella's Nana, and my mother-in-law

An excellent gardener and baker with a contagious laugh and beautiful hair,
she has a special way to show you her care.
She is good at staying organized and keeping things straight,
and she is never, ever late.

Peggy: Rob's grandmother, Ella's Granny, and my new Granny

Likes to do puzzles and have a good book to read,
Granny is funny and can really make us laugh.

Mary: Rob's new Gram, Ella's Great-Gram, and my Gram

She is always on the move and ready to go,
she knows how to make you smile when you're feeling low.
She's thinks about us every day
and is the perfect Gram is every way.

Marylou: Rob's mother-in-law, Ella's Baba, and my Madge

She is funny and smart, healthy and fit,
as you'll rarely ever see her sit.
She's a nurse, teacher, and model for me....
She is who I'd like to be.

(Gram, Madge, me, Ella)


Paulette: my godmother

Unfortunately, I could not easily locate a digital photo of Paulette,
but I had to include her in my list of mothers for the day because she is such
a wonderful godmother to me. She is funny and spirited and is always checking up on me and involved in what I'm doing. She never forgets a birthday or anniversary, either!



A Mothers' Day Blessing

Bless you in the morning, as you start your day.
With all the strenth & wisdom that you'll need along the way.
Bless you with the special love you take the time to share ~
With warm appreciation for the many ways you care.
Bless you with a happy heart & when each day is done,
Bless you with all the joy you bring to each & everyone.
