Happy Mother's Day

 I had a great Mother's Day.  I got a beautiful handmade Matisse card from Jack and a gorgeous necklace.

 You can't see the necklace here, because Jack had his arm around my neck while we were trying to take a nice picture.  It was nice of him to cover my double chin, though.

 And Alice....Well, if you look up the Cross of Adoration with Pearl on the James Avery site, you can see it.  I love me some pearls.

 I eventually got a good one of the two of us.

 This is how Alice wanted her picture taken.  And then the kids got excited because my mom and dad rode over here on their bikes--a pretty impressive surprise since they live more than six miles and some good hills away.

One of the best gifts:  I looked out the window yesterday to see the kids swinging and holding hands.  Please tell me this will last forever!
