To My Wonderful Mother

Happy Birthday Mom!
I'm so grateful to have you. You have given me so much, and continue to give. Thanks for always being only a phone call away. I love you. We all love you.

Here is my own mommy experience today. The boys are not feeling well. We are giving lots of hugs, and trying to be patient. I had a conversation with Anson about asking for a hug instead of crying if he wasn't feeling well. He is doing a good job of asking, and we have been attached since he woke up from his nap. Luckily Hiram is still sleeping. He will be waking soon, and wanting some "extra hugs, too, please."

I am finding it challenging to get much done with two hands these days. Even when the boys are well, I am not able to leave them alone to play. Anson finds it amusing to watch his brother topple over. So they need constant supervision. It seems we could all use an extra hug today :)
