MY Mom!

I have the greatest mother and I take her for granted. I really want to be appreciative, but over the years her consist awesomeness has molded into what I know as being normal. As a young woman, I remember my leaders and other girls my age tell me how they looked up to her because she was always so happy. "There is always a smile on her face", they'd say. It was encouraging to hear that my mom was respected by other woman.
She has set a high standard for the rest of us as mothers and woman. Her example has molded me and because of her, I know what my role as a mother is and what it should be. Thank you, Mom, for being my inspiration!
We'll be out there in AZ with you this Saturday and with us will be an 8X10 of this photo:
(because this is what you always ask for on Mother's Day and your birthday)

We took these pictures at Washington Park. It's a very large park filled with trees of all kinds. This weekend is the annual Tulip Festival. It's very large, I hear, with tulips everywhere. Hopefully, I can get some pictures of it later today!

I think Merry-Go rounds are illegal in Arizona, but New York likes to be different. I love how the blue of this Merry-Go-round is going to accent the red walls in my living room (pictures of this to come)!

We love you, MOM and GRANDMA!
