Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!
I am fortunate to be able to know many devoted, wonderful moms! I have many examples to look up to.
I feel very blessed to have these three entertaining, fun, loving children! I will soak up these kids today and I will also miss my dear mom today. What a wonderful example she was! My mom was so easy to communicate with. We laughed so much with her too. She was patient and kind and a wonderful Christian example. They really don't come any better than my mom.

Merit woke up bright and early this morning to give me a mother's day gift he had made me at school. This sweet boys love language is gift giving and I was thrilled at the love and effort that went into the gift! I think I will get a picture of it and post it later this week.

The pictures I am posting today really allow a look into our children's personalities I think.
Merit: deep thinker, sport's player, good grade getter :), considerate boy
Willem: nature lover, outdoor hiker, fabulous pretender, fun loving boy
Hazel: stroller rider, easy smiler, wonderful cuddler, blue eyed girl

I thank God for these wonderful gifts: our children!
Vance got me a new camera for mother's day and I am already having so much fun with it! A gift he KNEW I would use. :)

Happy Belated Mother's Day! Thank you for the nice message on my wall. Hope you had a good day. Willem looks so much like you on the close up I think. Merit is looking so big with his new teeth, and Hazel, what a doll!
