Mother...

Today may be the official day to recognize mothers but for me, everyday is mothers day. I've never wanted to be ANYthing more then a mother and I've cherished every moment I've had with each of my children. My older son doesn't live with me but when he comes up we eat together, caught up on all the little details of his life, play games and just enjoy our time. My two younger ones still live with me and it's always a joy to wake each day knowing I can be present and available to them ( even though they are old enough now to not need me as much), I adore watching them grow and make changes in their lives.

Games...

For awhile now when my oldest son comes up to eat and hang out we have been playing more games. It's always so much fun and who knew something as simple as a card game could bring so much laughter and connection. I'm a still a fan of TV, computers, video games, but there is something about the simplicity of games that offers a different kind of fun. Looking forward to remembering back in years and having these special "present moments" with all three of my beautiful children.

Visit...

My oldest son comes up a couple times a month to eat, help around the house and hang out playing games etc. He lives about 20-25 minutes from my house, but life can get busy for everyone and it's always wonderful to spend those few hours together even though we live so close. Today is no exception, Matt is coming to visit and I couldn't be happier!
