Mother's Day Presence

(Michelle, I stole from you again. There was just no better title for this post than the one you used, so I copied. Again. Consider it flattery!)

Flowers, expensive gifts, service coupons, etc etc, there was just no better "present" that I could have been given for Mother's Day than the one that I got this year. The long past due "presence" of my wonderful and extremely busy husband. Even if it was just for the day-which it basically was. And, there is no better gift for a mother than to see her two father-deprived boys soaking up every possible waking minute attached to their daddy's side. I enjoyed it all so thoroughly that I didn't take the time for many pictures, surprise, surprise. Of all the hours spent: playing in bed, watching long awaited shows saved especially for daddy, playing games on his phone, falling asleep on his lap in church, driving/walking/throwing rocks in the mountains, and catching up on many a father/son conversation, I only got the pictures of the rock throwing. Sorry, I was getting my time in too.

So, thank you babe for, not only making me a wife and a mother, but for taking the time and expense to let me know how important our family is to you. I love you.

(*Note: It was colder up there than we had anticipated for the time of day/year, so this was all we had in the car by way of jackets.
