Happy Mother's Day to me!

Mother's Day was like any other day ... busy, filled with running around, lots of commotion, and lots of activity!  We got to spend the morning having breakfast with my family, and giving my mom her annual present:  planting her geraniums and petunias in front of the house.  Later that afternoon, we headed over to Mark's parents' house for what was sure to be a miraculous feat:  getting Grandma and Buck in a picture with all 4 of their children, spouses, and 13 grandchildren.  For the first time in a long time, the whole family was actually present in the state of Illinois at the same time!  The weather cooperated, my sister-in-law Mary Karen did a fabulous job setting up and taking the photos, and I think they all turned out great!

By the end of the day, Mother's Day was like any other day ... busy, filled with running around, lots of commotion and lots of activity.  Lots of time with family, time spent with my kids, and time I wouldn't trade for the world.

Happy Mother's Day to me (and mom, Carolyn, and all of the other mommies and grandmas out there)!
