mother's day
i'm not sure as a kid or even a young adult i really knew what this day was all about. yeah, i celebrated it with my own wonderful mother and tried to find her the perfect gift (or just a gift at the last moment, sorry mom ;) ). but every year when we would ask her what she wanted she would just say, to spend time with you all. she always said she didn't need anything, she had it all. i didn't get it then.
fast forward a few years and now i am now a mother. i get it now. there isn't a single item in the world that can replace the feeling i have with my boys by my side. there isn't a piece of jewelery, clothing or flower that can replace the sound of my 3 year old saying the words, "love love mommy" while hugging my neck, or the look on my one year old's face when i come in the door, even after just going to the mailbox, and scoop him up. now don't get me wrong, a little extra sleep or one less poopy diaper to change wouldn't be so bad :) but just being Carson, Cooper and Brooks' mommy is gift enough. happy mother's day to every mom out there.
this was the best i could get with both of them together. group shots are getting harder and harder!

You so eloquently expressed what a joy Motherhood is. These three treasures simply cannot comprehend the love, character, integrity, creativity, extravagance & lavishing of love that you so willingly shower upon them.
Know Cooper is smiling down from Heaven on His special Mom today !!!
How we admire you and are so very grateful that we get to share you joys & hearbreaks along the journey. We feel like Carson & Brooks are a part of our families too !
Gratefully with much admiration to quite a Mom,
