happy birthday!

Happy St. Patricks Day!
But….more importantly….
Happy birthday to my momma….

The most beautiful woman I know.  She may not be the Suzy Homemaker mom who met her kids at the door with an apron and a hot plate of cookies after school (…although I’m sure she did this a time or two) but she’s been a wonderful mom in all the areas that matter.  She’s modeled what it looks like to be truly loving, forgiving, gentle, sweet and self-sacrificing.  She’s shown me what it looks like to be your child’s biggest fan and to support them even when you don’t agree with the choices they’re making.  She’s shown me what it looks like to be a loving wife.  She’s shown me what it looks like to truly love Jesus.  Thank you mom for being wonderfully you.  Happy birthday!

    your mom sounds wonderful.

  15. Happy Birthday to your mom! 🙂
    You guys look a lot alike to me. so, so cute!

    btw, i just wanted to let you know that i totally agree about the pet store thing. that’s actually what i told kassi, that we would prefer looking into families that breed them, and are reputable.
    i definitely think it’s a way safer/healthier route!
    and your rant was definitely appropriate. i think it’s always smart to at least warn people! 🙂

  16. Awwww yaya for the mom!
