Mother, Dear, I Love You So...

My kiddos are the sweetest! They always make me feel so yummy on Mother's Day (whether I deserve it or not!) and shower me with such heartfelt gifts. Connor's poem was just so great, the little flower seed Fynn gave me, and Natasha and Dane rode their bikes all the way to "Dear Lizzy" to buy my favorite cupcake! (Sure it got a little squished in the backpack on the return trip, which they were very distressed by, but a little smeared frosting never stops me!) How blessed I am to have such amazing kiddos--I love you, all! *Mwah* xoxo
