This was a great Mother's Day for me - maybe the best so far. My family - my husband in particular - know how to make me feel very loved and appreciated, and I am so thankful for them!
The day started off with a little boy snoring in my ear... but he tried to sneak out of my bed quietly once he woke up to let me sleep in. I never got back to sleep, but I stayed in my bed and read... I had a feeling that breakfast in bed was on its way, so I wanted to be in the right place when it arrived. Sure enough, a quartet of my favorite people on earth came through the bedroom door a while later singing Happy Mother's Day To You (to the tune of The Happy Birthday Song) as they delivered my favorite bagel and coffee. A little later, an omelette, bacon, and juice were delivered by the best chef in town, Corey. After my late breakfast I read some more then took a nap. When I woke up, I received some special homemade cards from the kids, a cross for my collection on the wall, and a purse.
After I opened my gifts, we got dressed and headed to a nearby town for Allie & Jack's art show. They have been taking lessons this semester, and I am really impressed with all they have learned.

After the art show we drove around the town for a bit. We drive through this city often, but we have never explored their downtown area before. It is so quaint... a lovely discovery that we plan to visit again soon. We ate dinner at an English pub on the square then we took a walk around the courthouse.
I adore these kids. Really! There is nothing else on earth that I want to do besides be their mommy! While I am so thankful for a day to be pampered, I would work every day of the year to take care of these 3 that I have been given. God wasn't kidding when he said that children are a blessing! Sometimes I am actually amazed that I get to be their mom!

(I love it!)
After our walk around the courthouse, we went to an old-fashioned ice cream shop.
Thank you Corey for making me feel loved and appreciated today. I love you!

What a great day. I absolutely love that close-up picture of you with the kids.
This is so weird: I had no idea tht Allie was taking art lessons or that she had a show yesterday and last night I had a dream that I bought a painting from her. :)
ahhh...so sweet. I love Beth Marie's ice cream. It's one of my favorite spots from when I was going to UNT. The kids art work is really nice.
What a sweet, fun day!!!! You have a beautiful family!
Looks like you had a fantastic day!!! Happy Belated Mother's Day to you! Also, I'm VERY impressed with Jack's self portrait!!
That does sound like a great day! Their art was really good. I want to go to that ice cream shop sometime. Glad you had the perfect Mother's Day.
Precious mommy thoughts. I could feel what you were feeling through your words and because my own mommy remembrances from when you were growing up. I'm so thankful you had such a great Mother's Day Amy. Yes, you are so correct when you say that we have the greatest occupation/career/ministry ever, in being a mom. The absolute most rewarding thing in life I believe.
So Randi, we have many lovely pieces available. Call for an appointment.
