Mother's Day

Nathan and the boys treated me to a fun Mother's Day. They are pretty sweet. Henry drew me a beautiful picture and made me all kinds of fun crafts at preschool. And Jack wrote me this beautiful poem (patterned after a book they read at school):


I love you, Mom, the yellowest,
I love you the color of the son on a hot day, the flare of a fire.
I love you the color of bees and the tree in the fall.  And starfish, dandelions, butter and gold.
I love you the color of sapphire, citrine, fire, opal, tourmaline, sphere, ziroon, quartz, and diamonds.
The color green vireo, Bachman's Warbler, and the fan tailed warbler.
The beautiful ranunoulus flower.
I love you, Mom, the yellowest.

Best Daddy

The boys have had some special times with Nathan lately. Jack got to go to work with him on Take Your Child to Work Day. And Henry has enjoyed Daddy being one of his t-ball coaches.

Knight Swords

Grandma Pam and Grandpa Glen just got back from Germany and brought the boys the best gifts they might have ever received. That's right, authentic (wooden) swords from a real castle! It doesn't get much better than this.
