Mother's Day...

I miss you guys and I'm so sorry I've been lacking again. With the school year coming to an end there are a lot of things going on with my stepdaughters that keep me busy, busy, busy! My oldest was in the school play of Peter Pan and this week she was in the choir's Spring Concert. It's hard to believe she's going to be a senior next year...what happened to the little 11 year old I met who gave me dirty looks and wasn't sure if she liked me yet! LOL! I was really nervous when I first met her, my husband warned me that she might be a little difficult but that his youngest, who was 8 at the time, might be a little easier to deal with. When I first met them we were in the car and the youngest said, "Diana" and I thought, "Oh no what is she going to ask!" so I said, "Yes?" and she said the cutest thing and stole my heart when she said, "You're Pretty!"...AWWW!!! Her sister just said, "Yeah, you're pretty." Like, sure yeah, whatever! But over the years we got to know each other and our love for one another grew stronger and stronger and now when they go out and do things with their friends I miss them and can't wait for them to get home! They surprised me for Mother's Day and made cards and bought me an adorable butterfly planter without their dad even mentioning anything! Their older brother also came down from college for a visit and brought flowers for me! We have all come a long way and now I don't know what I would do without them in my life. They impress me and inspire me, and every day I'm just amazed with their kindness, talent, intelligence, and thoughtfulness. I'm very blessed to be a part of this beautiful family.

How was your Mother's Day? I hope it was just as wonderful as mine was!
