I am borrowing Joshe's signage for my own today. It is awesome to find you have a son that thinks so much like you do...
I am here today

I am not here, so come find me
(I find that both are applicable for me, too.)

I put my Mother's Day (with my boys) together in one pic, remembering it this way:

DH took me out to eat and gave me a weekend retreat in Park City. Lovely. I came home to a new chopper for salsa (joe), a brilliant song with 5 notes & a storybook card taped to a broken-down cardboard box (joshe), a desire to make cookies with Mum (ben), and grass mowed & 1200 dandelion heads plucked off (pete).
You can't beat that for a family of all boys! Yes!

And for a quick Spring update I will share a few pics of the family:
Joshe decided he like the idea of creating the "solar system" out of all my printer paper and masking tape.
He lost his first tooth this spring, too. He has a full social schedule and keeps track of me ~ a hard job.
Joseph finally finished the state report and gave an amazing oral report on North Carolina. He reminds me that he only has a little over a week left of school because the last 3 days don't count, they are just fun. We just finished soccer and I am so proud of the way he plays (very positive and considerate). Yeah!
Ben does a lot of this...and is getting ready for this...
and then there is Pete...
It finally happened, he is legally able to drive a vehicle. Oh, my. The woman at the desk told me to sign my name on the line under his, and I listened and I did. Then she informed me that if he did anything wrong/illegal I would now be contacted and held responsible for his actions.
Great. I should have had DH go instead.
Pete just smiled at both of us and said, "Well, if I do something wrong, I just won't get caught." (With his out loud voice). Oh, my.
And you knew I wouldn't forget to give you a pic of the lambs, right?
All is well in the barnyard of life.
In gratitude for the *blessed mess* we are,
Thank you Jesus,
jj
