Mother’s Day 2013

IMG_7796IMG_7800IMG_7802IMG_7804IMG_7806IMG_7807IMG_7810IMG_7815IMG_7860

This year for Mother’s day my wonderful mom had the fabulous idea of going to the “Sheep and Wool Festival” and I do have to say that it was simply lovely. There were sheep things everywhere. And really, how could you not smile at people with sheep hats, barns full of roving, smiling llamas and sleepy sheep? It was beautifully simple and so totally us.  We were all inspired. Since then, I think we’ve all been caught thinking to ourselves on whether or not we could possibly manage to fit a few llamas and sheep onto our lot. While that may be a few years down the road, it’s always good to dream.

We are so totally blessed to have a Mom who loves us so much. It would take me all year to tell you about how amazing she is… Most mornings when I begrudgingly roll out of bed and stumble to the kitchen, there she is… smiling with a pottery mug full of coffee and a joy that’s infectious. She’s a strong follower of Christ that constantly challenges me and encourages me at the same time. We’re pretty much opposites, so while I can get on her nerves (and vice versa :) ) we still manage to have a great time. It’s always an adventure, but it’s been a great one, speed bumps and all.

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

taking a break…

to gaze out the window today…

and be amazed at the simple things.

plays coming together,

friendships forming,

the sound of pencil on paper,

and God’s still, small voice.

blessings abound up north this week...

so many blessings this week as I spend the time up at my grandparent's house...
God's beautiful creation never ceases to amaze me...

Counting the dozen blessings of a week away...

perfect lake weather- warm and breezey- not hot at all
fishing off the dock... well, watching my sisters and cousins fish :)
bike rides to explore and giggle and think about the 11th Annual Mamo Camp
fuzzy warm golden retrievers on my feet at dinner
watching the tacos disappear from the pan at dinner
homemade strawberry pie... YUM! (recipe to follow...)
taking way too many pictures
dancing to the hamster dance song at breakfast from the card mom sent to Grandpa- de de dee da dee dee do do!
baseball, tag, and just plain fun at the park in town after a bikeride
1 liter water bottles from the SA across the street from the trail start
talking with Mamo on the balcony/porch of the boathouse
prayer in the early morning hours, listening to the wind in the trees...
