Marmee

Happy Mother's Day to the woman who has always made being the best mom in the world look easy as pie.

Vivacious, fun-loving, warm, thoughtful, and easy to be with. 

A natural beauty who always spends more time thinking about everyone around her than herself.

A devoted, loving, smart, and feisty wife. Dad is a lucky man!

A natural, intuitive mother. Gracious and graceful. The most Christ-like woman I've ever known.

Always there for her kids--for every game, award, skinned knee. Always there to talk and support and pray. Accepts and loves her children unconditionally, no matter what.

A stunner, inside and out. 

Fun! Always ready to laugh. I have always loved this picture. She's nursing Daniel while playing with David. Meanwhile, Katie and I were probably building forts out of couch cushions or "ice-skating" in our socks. I have no idea how she raised four kids so patiently.

Gentle, nurturing, and dedicated. Always wants what is best for us. Remember the honey cakes and carob cookies?

I love you, Mommy!
