I had my two beautiful daughters here all day taking care of
my every need. They went to the store and got the most perfect hanging
baskets for the front porch. Lainey got up this morning and made me
breakfast and Annie made kabobs for dinner on the bbq. It was wonderful
and I am miserably full!
It’s no longer about hoping to take the day off or getting a
break as a mom. Now it’s simply about connecting with my children!
I loved everything about this day!
Looks like you are both doing well. Adam, you look
like you’ve been there a hundred years and you looked so comfortable where you
were; and you haven’t changed a bit! Couldn’t see your stomach, so it
doesn’t seem bigger to me either! ;-)
Drew, you sounded so great! It was so wonderful to
hear your voice and the smile in your laugh. Brenna was not going to come
over because she thought she might be a distraction to you. I told her it
would have been a bigger distraction to not be able to talk to you and that my
happy mother’s day depended on my sons being happy! I told her that you
worked too hard and too long to get there for a phone call to mess you
up. Then I told her that you just needed to hear her voice (after 18
months!) and to know she was okay, then you could get back to work. I
convinced her finally to come! I’m glad she did, even if it was difficult
to hear and you didn’t really have much time to talk. She’s such a
blessing. And still so happy.
So, Adam. Tell me your total count of baptisms so far.
I’ve lost track. I’m gonna have to get better at tracking this!
Drew, I know you’ve been
involved with baptisms too, so tell me your number too and I’ll keep our little
charts updated.
We are going to Disney with the marching band this Thursday
night. We leave at 9:00pm and we’ll be back on Tuesday the 22nd
in the afternoon. Looks like the District isn’t going to let Annie on the
busses, so we have to fly her down to meet us and then figure out how to get
her back. She and Dad might have to drive the equipment truck back up on
Tuesday and Wednesday. We’ll figure it out tomorrow.
Annie and Brenna have decided to team up for the big rides
since Brenna is making up for the last Disney Band trip when Josh didn’t want
to ride the big rides. Brenna says, “go big or go home!” and Annie is all
over that one! I’m hoping that they hit it off and that Annie will
finally have a friend that’s outside of the recovery circle. She has
stuck with good friends, but there is so much drama! Nick has been a good
support to her, though. Annie and Nick have decided that the Disney trip
is a good time for them to both quit smoking. I hope it works for them!
I’ll send this off now and say, thanks for being my
wonderful sons!! I’m so proud of you all and grateful that I was blessed
to be your mom!!
Love you bunches,
Mom
