Prized Possessions

I remember when I was little my mom would tuck me in. I always had to have my blankie and whatever stuffed animal or doll I was hooked on that week. I figured that Alissa would be much the same. I tuck her in, she has to have her blankie and usually a doll.. but last night Jeff and I went to check on her before we went to bed. She had dropped her doll on the floor and had two dvd cases tucked under her arm. I couldn't help but smile...

Moms

So I'm a few days late, but here's to you all you moms!
Hope you had a great Mother's Day!!

ODE TO MOTHERS

by Kristin F. McKendall

Mothers cannot do it all

But surely do they try.

Mothers hear the angel's call,

To comfort all who cry.

Mothers for themselves may fall,

For others they will fly.

Mother's bear the weight of all,

For their children, they would die.

A Mother's gift extends beyond

All bounds of time and space.

Her lovingness and nurturing

Make Earth a peaceful place.
