My Mother's Day

My boys

There is reason for my delay in posting these pictures that I will explain. I had the best Mother's Day. We went to church and had lunch together at home. We split up for the afternoon as Bill and the boys had to mow and I had to get things together for Brownies and VBS crafts. Since my mom gave me a Joann's gift certificate it was the perfect time to get the girls and I stocked on scrapbooking supplies. Yes, they are into everything crafty much to my delight, including scrapbooking! I have been waiting for the day that we could do these project together and it is here! We have so many things on our list I don't know if we will ever have time to do them all but Lindy and I will definitely be trying.

So, when we returned home from church we took these pictures and when we came inside there was a bag waiting for me to open. I thought we were not exchanging gifts! There is not a thing I need but once I opened it I remembered there was something I wanted! As Bill said we were not exchanging they were giving. Much to my delight was my dream camera, additional lens and all. Rare as it is I was speechless. I so did not need this as I have a wonderful camera already. Bill, being the attentive husband he is, had noticed though that it can't always do what I want. Apparently because of the small gallery I have started on the walls he thought I was ready for an upgrade!

Hence the delay as I am still trying to learn what I am doing! But I am very, very, happy with the results especially the color. Thank you kiddos for such a wonderful surprise! Bill you always surprise me, thank you so much, I love you.

Is he handsome or what?! He is becoming a fine young man.

Ethan - You make being a mom a daily pleasure.

Wow was all I could say (Hey Uncle Bobby can you give me a hand learning this thing?)

One of my first shots, oh the color, just look at the pizza on her face!
