Mother's Day 2017

Mother's Day is every day for me!  I have wanted to be a mom ever since I was old enough to walk around holding a baby.  Nothing else in this world really ever mattered to me.  I knew I would "grow up" to be a mom!  I have the BEST JOB ON EARTH!!

One of the "best things" about Mother's Day, is the poem I get from Marz!  She has written me a poem every year since starting boarding school.  So I have four.  I really, really hope she continues her poems on into college!! (Hint, Hint Marz! ;))  I waited ALL morning for this poem!!  Ok, maybe only a few hours... and I only checked my emails about 500 times!! ;)

From Marz:

Mama, sweet mama

Half of my genes come from you

If you were a llama

A llama I would be too

Mama, sweet mama

Your food is sublime

Bacon and burgers, not llama

So many cookies it's a crime

Mama, sweet mama

Gentle and kind

You somehow tamed papa

And to us kids gave a mind

Mama, sweet mama

Beautiful inside and out

Your soul reaches the sky

On you lips rarely a pout

Mama, sweet mama

I've run out of rhymes

Not many words match mama

I'll try again some other time

But, seriously, you are the best mom ever. Thank you for all that you've done, from cleaning up after us to feeding us to disciplining us. I love you, and I'm positive the rest of the kiddos love you too. 

Happy Mother's Day! 

The best babies in the world!  The four that make this day the BEST!!

 
This was the last time all four kids were with me... February...  Now only two short week and I will be with them for two months.  Can't wait!

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
