Greg and the kids washed my car today and spent the afternoon outside so I could relax inside. Jacob bought me a few delightful presents -- a 12-pack of diet Coke, gum, Apple Jacks cereal, and a card with a cat and a dog on the front (the inside says, "We have to pee."). I love gifts chosen by small children.
As I get older, I see myself becoming more and more like my mom. I understand her reactions so much better than I did as a child. And I appreciate more and more everything she did (and does) for us. My childhood was very happy. I never doubted my parents' love for a second (well, unless you count the obligatory stage at 13 when I just knew they hated me). I hope my boys look back on these days and remember them happily as well.
I love you, Momma!

You left me speechless and that's an accomplishment! Thank you so much. The best thing we can ever do is to raise children in a home where they feel love and feel safe. You and Greg are such incredible parents your boys will have that. The two greatest gifts are roots and wings. I love you.
I also noticed that you are continuing my good nutrition sense for children (I see the Mac & Don's box). I taught you well.
I should have said the two greatest gifts we can give our chilren are roots and wings.
