Mother's Day

One of the things I really wanted for Mother's Day this year was a picture of me with my children.OK, I really should have thought of something less stressful:

"Come here Tucker"

"There's a piece of candy on the chair"

"Say, Thomas the train I love you"

"Please come back..."

"No more pictures for me"

Thanks to Dave for his patience, we did get some decent shots. I must write for the record how grateful I am to be a mother. There is nothing on earth I would rather be doing right now. I honestly love them so much. Thank you NB, I just had to steal this from your blog:

Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get back to normal after you’ve had a baby. That Somebody doesn’t know that once you’re a mother, “Normal,” is history.

Somebody said you learn how to be a mother by instinct That Somebody never took a three-year-old shopping.

Somebody said you don’t need an education to be a mother. That Somebody never helped a fourth grader with her math.

Somebody said the hardest part of being a mother is labor and delivery.That Somebody never watched her “baby” get on the bus for the first day of kindergarden.

Somebody said a mother can do her job with her eyes closed and one hand tied behind her back.That Somebody never had to sit down and practice an instrument with a child...

Somebody said you can’t love the fourth child as much as you love the first. That Somebody doesn’t have four children.

Somebody said your mother knows you love her, so you don’t need to tell her.That Somebody isn’t a mother.
