Mother's Day Publicity

 Grace and I made the front page of our local paper!!!

Me with all the kids...Mother's Day feature.

We got to do a little Mother's Day photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. I wasn't sure how it would all turn out. (what do I look like when I go out in public?, it's not like I spend hours primping). 

But it turned out very fun!!!!!!

Here's a link to the feature here.

AND...to top it all off, my 7-year-old brought me the first strawberry from his garden this morning.

Let me tell you, it's not easy to grow anything when there's a two-year-old brother with a penchant for hoses on the loose.  Charles has had quite a time keeping any strawberries around long enough for them to ripen, and the fact that he gave the first one to me is pret-ty special.

Here's to all the mamas out there.  May your day be filled with sweet love from your babies, a bit'o'sleep (this coming from a mom with a 6month old), and all your favorite things.
