Thank you...

I love getting thoughtful gifts. This week Kelsey's mom, Kathy, got me these letters for the boys- just because!  She was also so concerned when my blog went down because she missed seeing my sweet boys.  Kathy has surprised me in the past and when I see the items in my house it always reminds me that someone was thinking about me. So kind. It also frequently reminds me of what a great mom she is, but more importantly (to me at this stage) was when her girls were toddlers.

Kathy-

You inspire me, really. I hope I have the strength to parent wonderful children like you did. I appreciate your thoughtfulness and your interest in my boys - it makes me feel loved.

Thank you.

Girls,

I know you know how great your mom is and when you have babies it will be even more glaring.  So, like I am always telling G "be sweet to your mom" (especially Kels) - parenting is so emotionally involved and your mom is "all in".  You are really blessed.  I hope my boys turn out like y'all.

So, a big rousing applause.

Let's Hear it for Kathy Carpenter.
