Mother's Day 2010

Here's me and my girls on Mother's Day right after church and dinner. Richie had came up on Saturday to visit with me so he could spend Mother's Day making Kathy feel special for being the mother of his precious daughter. And I think that's great, as a matter of fact, I suggested it. Sons are different from daughters in that respect; especially, if they live far away. Anyway, we had a good church service, but before worship service, the church recognized the youngest mother, the oldest mother, and the one with the most children with them that day. I normally get the most children corsage because all of my children make a point to be there. However, since I knew Richie wouldn't be there, and Kellye has had sinus issues lately, and Jessi hates being at home, I wasn't so sure this year. But most of the ladies at my church are younger and they only have two kids. So the three was enough for the honor.

I love flowers, so a corsage of pink carnations is very nice to receive.

We took this picture out by the pond and the wisteria. Kellye Beth immediately started sneezing and had to hurry and get away from the plant. I'm glad I don't have allergies. I love to smell my flowers.

We went inside to take more pictures:

I love my girls! But it makes me miss Richie that much more, and I forgot to take any pictures with him on  Saturday:(

 

You know I can't leave him out when we're talking about Mother's Day.

He's the one who started it many, many years ago. Back then, I received the corsage for the youngest mother since I was 21. 

I think Kathy had a nice Mother's Day this year, too. How could you not with a precious baby like Lorelei?

And of course, I can't leave Lily Ann out. She's been like my baby for over 2 years now. I plan on going back to work at BioImaging on June 1st. It will be an adjustment to make for all of us. My prayer is that God will give us all the grace we need to accomplish what has to be. I'm thankful that Rickey was able to support the family while I stayed at home to make sure she was well cared for. I will always cherish my the time  spent with her.

Until later, Theresa
