Happy Mother's Day!!

Here is a poem from our bulletin at church today. I thought this was a good one. Enjoy!! Below are a few pictures from our first Mother's Day and Alyssa's four week old birthday!

REAL MOTHERS
(author unknown)

Real mothers don't eat quiche;
they don't generally have time to make it.

Real mothers know that their kitchen utensils
are probably in the sandbox.

Real mothers often have sticky floors,
unclean ovens, and happy kids.

Real mothers know that dried play dough
doesn't come out of carpets.

Real mothers know that chewing gum
cannot be painlessly removed from hair.

Real mothers know want to know
what the vacuum just sucked up.

Real mothers happily accept kisses,
no matter how slobbery, muddy, greasy, or snotty.

Real mothers sometimes ask "Why me?"
and get their answer when a little voice says,
"Because I love you".

Real mothers know that after you have a child,
who you are is forever changed.
