Mother's Day

Okay, I've got to take a minute to tell you how wonderful my kids are!  They are always so very kind to me, showing their love and appreciation in various ways.  Today was no exception.  Lindsey worked all Saturday afternoon preparing for a Mother's Day breakfast, and I must say that she really outdid herself!

On the menu:

Quiche 

Crepes with blueberry filling, topped with cream and strawberries 

Fruit salad  

Hash browns  

Fresh squeezed orange juice  

Milk  

Keep in mind that it's just generally more of a challenge here to put together such a beautiful meal.  (Some ingredients, for instance, cannot be purchased here, and so we've been saving them for a special occasion).

Before breakfast Jacob went down the road and picked some wild flowers for the table centerpiece.  All of the kids had prepared a personal card/note which expressed their love and appreciation for me.  As we were finishing up our breakfast, Lindsey disappeared for a few minutes and came back with her computer.  Julia and Lee had prepared a video to wish me Happy Mother's Day and sent it to Lindsey to play for me at the appropriate time.  It was definitely unique. ;)

How could I not feel loved?  Thank you so much, Lindsey, Luke, Jacob, Julia and Lee - for making this a very special Mother's Day.  Love you!
