Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day! (Belated) I love being a mom!
I am so thankful that my mom passed on to me her LOVE of sewing. It is such a fun creative outlet for me. However, I'm not so great with deadlines, self-imposed or not...Hence our Christmas dresses became Mother's Day dresses! But I like to pretend that it was planned that way all along. Really though, too many other pressing matters, projects, and activities got in the way! A diaper bag, a pioneer trek, a 5th b-day party, etc., etc. Life. You gotta love it!
I wouldn't be a mother without these two handsome fellows! Thanks for making every day a Mother's Day, Steve-bo! I am so spoiled to have actually landed myself a guy who regularly washes the dinner dishes, takes out the trash (with only a few "gentle" reminders), and does the laundry. Oh my! What did I do to deserve this? I pitty the poor fool who tries to date my daughter! Unfortunately, her daddy has set the bar pretty high!
Ok, so next time I'll try to keep little Ian Buddy in mind when planning the coordinating wardrobe. In the meantime, you rock those hand-me down Sunday clothes like no other, little boy! We still love you!
