Mother's Day 2008

Time sure does fly by. I can't believe this is my 3rd Mother's Day with My Little Munchkin.

I had a very low key, relaxing day with my little family. Typically, we enjoy spending these holidays outside, but today was a little chilly and windy. I have included a picture of my two Mother's Day cards I received. John always does such a great job finding the perfect cards to mark the particular occasion. My card from Kyle is very fitting since Kyle and I sit together often reading and looking at books.

John is in the process fixing my special Mother's Day dinner consisting of filet mignon, roasted potatoes, corn on the cob, and a salad. Yummy!

I thought it would be a special idea to include a few pictures of Kyle and me together since 2005.

Happy Mother's Day

Wanted to wish my Mother a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! She lives 700 miles away in New Orleans so we won't be seeing her today. Hope you enjoy your day!

Below is a picture of my mom and me taken several years ago. Another post to follow later today, so please check back.

Mother's Day Poem

I received this poem and flower when I picked Kyle up from preschool on Wednesday. The poem is so special and so true. It is perfect for any mother of a baby or toddler. It was so touching and I wanted to share it with all the mother's out their with little ones.

The poem may be a little hard to read in the picture so I will post it below. Enjoy!!

Dear Mom,

I am your little flower, Mom

Please help me grow and bloom;

Take the weeds, but leave the roots

And give me lots of room.

Mom, you are my gardener;

My sunshine and my rain.

Too much will make me wither

With enough, I'll bloom again.

I am your little flower, Mom

I'm different from the rest;

Don't pick me Mom, just let me grow

To be my very best.

-Rebecca Armstrong-

Wishing all the Mommies out there a Very Happy Mother's Day weekend!
