If you want to feel good about yourself, I would normally say having kids is not the way to go. Most of the time I feel like a failure. I see the wrong things I say and ways I act come through in the way my boys talk to each other. I’m sure I’m permanently scarring them now and constantly worry about how they’ll ‘turn out’.
But on Mother’s Day, that goes away. My boys make my day each year. It began early in the week with flowers at work.
Then Friday the boys brought gifts from school.
Patrick signed it himself. 🙂
The best moment occurred at church. Each child got on stage and told why they loved their mom. I am sad to say I didn’t film Mac’s turn. I was so wrapped up in the anticipation of his turn…I knew he wouldn’t speak into the microphone. I was waiting for him to say no thanks and just walk by. But he didn’t. He read his card just as clear and well spoken as the best of them!
Family lunch was a blast with the family, including Nate! I am sad to say that I didn’t get a pic with MY mom. I realize that now as I’m posting this. (Mom, we need a current pic together, soon!!) She was there and we had fun, but the pics seemed to be centered on Nate, his fiance Kimberly and her daughter Halle. It was great to finally meet Halle!
You can see how well she fits into the family!
