Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a sweet day this year. We celebrated with Noni on Saturday, had boiled peanuts and daiquirs (Popi made Charty her own frozen cup of fresh limeade) and toured their new camper they got (for retirment adventures!) - Adam calls it the 'mobile mansion' it's pretty fancy. Then we went out to dinner and Charlotte devoured a bowl of cheese dip. We had coffee and coffee cake with Noni Sunday morning, stuck Charty in a dress and hair bow and headed to her Aunt & Uncle's house to celebrate Mother's Day with Gigi.

Apparently, some nasty storms came through Saturday night - some tornadoes. Adam said Ellenwood (where he grew up) was even on CNN! Amber & Bob were without power fixing up a homemade lunch for all of us. But you never would have guessed it! Their house sits amongst whole bunches of trees, and it was so bright and breezy through the windows. The food was delicious! Charlotte had a bunch of fun with her sweet cousins, Violet & Tori. Violet was so sweet and shared all her toys and Tori is always a sweetheart. There was lots to do, lots to explore. She was exhausted when we left - zonked right out...

Everything was so nice, we enjoyed getting to spend time with everbody! Happy Mother's Day Noni, Gigi, Kiki & Amber!

I missed the last time I read it - totally missed it. What you wrote was so sweet and yes it was a wonderful day. Motherhood IS a blessing and a joy.
