Happy Mother's Day!

Three generations
Oklahoma
July 2004

This photo isn't the best quality, but it's one of the few I have with my mom in recent years. For some reason, we're always taking photos of the kids with my mom or they're taking photos of me with the kids, but not us together. We need to remedy that when I visit my mom later this summer.

I've already called her and sent her a gift, but I wanted to say "Happy Mother's Day" to my dear mother, who has been such a gift in my life. And of course I celebrate today because motherhood has been my own life's greatest experience. Nothing else begins to come close.

Happy Mother's Day!

And just in case you were wondering who I look like, check out this photo of my mother, taken in 1972. She was 26 and this was taken at the airport as we were seeing my dad off to Vietnam. (That's my head in the foreground.)

Happy belated Mother's Day to you, Amber. I love that three-generation photo...it's great. I only have one or two of those with my mother...wish I had more. So did you get breakfast in bed? :)

I am not a breakfast in bed gal...am I weird? Mike and I had morning coffee on the patio, took the dog for a long walk in the desert. Grilled out for dinner and then I watched a couple episodes of Hart to Hart while helping Annie with a papier mache art project. We enjoyed sitting at the table together with the glue all over our hands!
