Every Mother's Day I have to go through my sad moment(s) about how much I miss my mom and how much she still means to me. I just miss her like crazy and would love to be able to pick up the phone and call her and tell her all the funny things that Jack says, or how Henry just melts my heart. I never imagined in a million years that I would be raising my kids without my mom's advice or guidance. She was the best mom ever! I have a lot of work to do to be half the mom to my kids that she was for us. She taught us how to talk to anyone, eat lots of chocolate, be outside, go for lots of walks, downhill ski, how to have fun no matter what you were doing....and most importantly how to love Jesus!

Okay, on to the happier side of the day...
I was given a new camera lens for a gift, which I've had a lot of fun playing with today...given two adorable boys who didn't want to cooperate for a picture (that's what I get for putting them in matching shirts I guess!).
Try #1:
Try #2:
Give up and take pictures of them doing what they both love...
I also got to take a nap, while the boys washed the van inside and out!
I am so blessed.

i'm sure your mom would be very proud of you for many things, especially the mother you are to jack and henry. they're blessed to have you!
Thank you for sharing this post, Amy. I love hearing about your mom.
Great post, Amy. Your mom was such an fun lady...I remember the times I spent with you and her we laughed...and laughed...and laughed. :) What great memories!!
I think of you often and can't imagine what it'd be like to journey through motherhood without being able to call up my mom to share everything with. Like I have been for years, I'll keep praying for you every time I think about you, praying that God will give you peace and comfort knowing that we'll have all eternity to laugh with your mom in the presence of our Savior!!
Thinking of you, Aim...
Love you.
