Mother's Day Over My Birthday...For Sure!


Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother." -- Lin Yutang

I have decided that Mother's Day is MUCH better than my birthday. I get all of the extra love and attention without having to be needled by that dreadful little number increasing by one. I am thankful for a family that loves me and appreciates me. They are wonderful especially my J-bear! He is so thoughtful and put so much energy into making my day super special. The bar is set very high for Father's Day next month.

I enjoyed reading your thoughts on Mother's Day and I totally agree with your conclusion! Mother's Day I can see now is VERY important! Not until this Mother's Day did I realize that (because I Wasn't & Still am not an official "Mom") but now I see that Mother's are very important to the eternal family. Jared did a great job of letting me know that this year. Looks like you guys had fun from the pictrues I saw on Jen's site!

Hey!! I'm glad to hear you had a great Mother's Day! I'd totally love to get together...I'm out of town for work until Wednesday night, but after that I'm free as a bird. I'd love to see you!

I'm glad your Mother's Day was special! I want to hear all about it! I agree with you too, that that day is better than birthdays...especially now that we are in our 30's...depressing!

Min-
I am so glad you guys came over. I had alot of fun. Not to mention the food was pretty darn good. But you are in a bit of trouble because we did not get to play v-ball!! The weather is supposed to get really nice this week, so maybe we can do it again and play this time. Let me know.

There is a book called inflamation Nation...and I feel your pain with Asthma...you know that right? Altering foods he eats can help! Quinn coughs more when he has milk, sugar, flour a lot...also, we had a blood test done to see what he's allergic to. I believe trying everything...listening to everyone...and learning, learning, learning what you can is the key!!!
Talk soon
