Mother's Day 2008

There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings.


There comes a time when a woman needs to stop thinking about her looks and focus her energies on raising her children. This time comes at the moment of conception. A child needs a role model, not a supermodel.

You don't really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around - and why his parents will always wave back.



Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.

On Mother's Day we spent the day at Scotty's mom and dad's with his 2 sisters and their kids. We had a really nice day and the kids were literaly outside all day. Scotty & I got back home and the girls decided that the fun wasn't over yet and insisted that we all go 'swing' in the back yard! Low and behold here is a lil bit of our day. I only wish i'd have taken some pics at Scotty's moms-I forgot my camera :( shame on me! Anyday I get to spend with all my 'kids' and in laws is a very blessed day!
