Mother's Day

I had a really nice Mother's Day! We went to church and then the girls reluctantly took some pictures with me. :) Many thanks to Ross for knowing how important pictures are to me and trying his best to get the girls to cooperate!

The girls were very excited to give me their presents and I loved them! It was a framed picture of each of them and it was just so special. (Again, many thanks to Ross!) The picture of Lucy and I is Lucy's favorite and the picture of Molly is so sweet. They each gave me a card, too, and Lucy was so very excited to give me some of her emoji stickers. :)

After lunch I went shopping by myself and bought some new shirts and then later that evening we went to dinner with my parents. It was just a very nice day all the way around!

And to add to my special mother's Day, last week at school I had a Mother's Day lunch with Lucy. The kids sang two Mother's Day songs for us and gave us a present. You can watch Lucy singing here.

Happy Birthday To Ross!

Happy birthday to Ross who is 39 years old on Wednesday! We didn't do a whole lot to celebrate his birthday. He went to work and then we ate at Qdoba for dinner and got Andy's for a treat afterwards. He got a few presents from us and that was about it! Over the weekend, his parents were here to celebrate Lucy's birthday, and we celebrated Ross' birthday, too. Wanda made a yummy cake and had a singing candle with it. I had not seen a candle like this before and thought it was really neat. You can watch it here! Ross isn't one to like a lot of fanfare for his birthday and I've learned to honor that. However, next year he will turn 40 and that might have to change......
