happy mother's day from b and lu's momma

i hated photographs...my entire adult life had consisted of running from photo ops. then i had b...and things changed. in any photo taken with my children i think i look beautiful. trust me, this is a big deal...self-esteem has never been my thing. i am beautiful because i am complete. i am at ease and most of all i am incredibly happy.

i no longer scrutinize every inch of my body; extra chins, rooty hair, less than perfect teeth, etc...why? because i am b and lu's mom and i love that person.


b and lu's mom is not perfect, but she is to them. there are no words for how thankful i am for these tiny people...the gift has been more epic than i could have imagined. i knew i would love them, but i had no idea that i could have loved them this much or that they could have turned this gal into someone who truly loves herself and finally after 30-some years has found exactly what she has been looking for.

thank you b and lu...your momma is so thankful.

to all the other mommas out there...happy mother's day.

just because...

oh my goodness!  i have had quite the day.  my head hurts a bit and it feels like a lot for a tuesday.  i think the mister and i have been married for so long that maybe we get what the other one needs without having to speak it.  so in the middle of this chaotic day he texts me this video of b and things seem less chaotic now.

i am channeling my inner 7-year-old.
